U.S. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is once again unloading on his party’s far-left base, dropping the hammer and sickle on protesters who took to the streets for the traditional May Day communist holiday to protest against billionaires.
On Friday, hordes of activists from 600 groups, including chapters of the far-left Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and backed by billions of dollars, hit the streets in more than 3,000 May Day protests to rage against the wealthy, with the exclusion of their own funders, reportedly including China-based billionaire Neville Roy Singham, a man accused of fomenting communist color revolutions in the U.S.
On Friday’s edition of “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Fox News, the Pennsylvania Democrat called out the hypocrisy of groups like Code Pink-o for railing against the frequently demonized “billionaires” with carve-outs for those who pump their money into the destabilization of America.

“How big of a threat do you think this communist movement is?” Fetterman was asked by host Jesse Watters.
“Well, I mean, you know, there’s that phrase where terrible or bad ideas refuse to die, and it’s very sad to see that kind of things being revisited in this kind of way and a lot of these, you know, these terrible groups like Code Pink and a lot of the other ones that are strongly aligned to the CCP, without a doubt, they’re being financed,” the senator responded.
“I mean, it’s ironic. I mean, these kinds of protests are being funded by billionaires against billionaires. I mean, I don’t know if they realize the irony in many of those things right now,” Fetterman said.
He then took another shot at Democratic senatorial hopeful Graham Platner, who is running to unseat longtime GOP incumbent Susan Collins in Maine.
“And now there is kind of a small communist takeover in Maine, you know, Platner, he’s already announced that he’s an avowed communist. He’s made that statement, and he put that online,” he said. “Now he’s going to be the Democratic nominee. So there is a resurgent about the socialism, and that’s becoming more and more a part of it.”
Fetterman had previously taken aim at the Nazi tattoo-sporting Senate hopeful, ripping him as an “a**hole.”
Among the May Day actions was an effort by groups to cancel classes, with the vulnerable minds of impressionable young people always coveted by communists wherever the poisonous ideology has taken root.

According to a report from Fox News: “Some 600 groups, including hard-line communists and groups affiliated with the Democratic Party, are mobilizing all over the country today to demonstrate for May Day, socialism’s high holy day.”
NEW: 600 activist groups have organized thousands of “May Day” protests nationwide, advocating for socialism and an anti-capitalist agenda.

“A Fox News Digital investigation has identified a sprawling ‘red-blue’ network with combined annual revenue of about $2 billion organizing some 3,000 protests and events and advancing what critics describe as an anti-American agenda. They have called for Americans to skip work, school and shopping,” the outlet reported.
“At the center of the May Day mobilization, which has expanded from earlier indications, is a network of communist, socialist, Marxist and other far-left organizations, led by chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America and a network of groups – including the People’s Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER Coalition and Code Pink – funded by an American-born tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, based in Shanghai, promoting the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party,” the report stated.
The party’s most high-profile commie, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, marked May Day with a rally in Parma Heights, Ohio, where he appeared to stump for Democrat congressional hopeful Brian Poindexter under the ridiculous “Fighting Oligarchy” banner and raging against billionaires, which never include the likes of George and Alex Soros and other leftist sugar daddies.
Thank you Parma Heights for a packed house at our Fighting Oligarchy rally.
Americans deserve leaders who have the courage to take on the billionaire class and fight for working people.
That’s exactly the type of courage @bpforcongress will bring to Congress. pic.twitter.com/tbHi0v4OAv

An old school liberal, Fetterman has earned the ire of the progressive base that once adored him before the amazing transformation that occurred after he was hospitalized for treatment of clinical depression, emerging as the sole Democrat in Congress with any common sense and the stones to publicly buck his fully radicalized party.
