NYC Primary Results: The Socialist Sweep Explained

At 10:28 · chapter starts 6:33

With the sponsor break behind him, Bongino launches into the substance: a candidate-by-candidate breakdown of what he calls a 'communist takeover' of New York City's Democratic Party. He begins with Daria-Lisa Chevalier, who wants to abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish borders, defund police, oppose all deportations including for violent criminals, and who once posted that she wiped her hand on an American flag. Next comes Claire Valdez, who supports granting citizenship and voting rights to illegal immigrants, taxpayer-funded gender transition treatments, and the elimination of private health insurance. Finally, Brad Lander, who defeated incumbent Dan Goldman — himself described as a radical — by an estimated 20-30 points, and who wants to abolish ICE, forgive $2 trillion in student debt, and expand the Supreme Court. Bongino calls Lander's primary win over Goldman a live demonstration of his cannibalism theory: the left devours its own when they're not extreme enough.

And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
