Communist Takeover of the Democrat party—What it Means for America

Published | Video Starts at 08:53

And they've seen other Democrats lose in their primaries. And the one huge exception is John Fetterman. John Fetterman. And it's like Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles and the dog that did not bark. (08:53–09:06)
