Alabama U.S. Senator Katie Britt sharply criticized Democrats following their sweeping wins in Tuesday’s off-year elections.
“Tonight, Democrats elected a socialist to run the financial capital of the world and an attorney general who is on the record fantasizing about murdering children,” Britt (R-Montgomery) wrote.
“These elections aren’t a referendum on where the country is, they’re a referendum on where the Democratic Party is.”
Britt’s comments came after Democrats secured major victories across the country. In Virginia, Jay Jones defeated incumbent Republican Jason Miyares to become the first Black attorney general in state history, according.
Jones’s win followed extreme controversy over his 2022 text messages that contained violent language toward a political opponent.
In New York City, Zohran Mamdani, a progressive Democrat who identifies as a democratic socialist, was elected mayor, becoming the first Muslim and first South Asian to hold the office.
Separately, Britt also responded to an election night quote from Mamdani that exposed just how fundamentally radical his beliefs are.
Mamdani said, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.”
“When someone tells you who they are, believe them,” Britt wrote. “Democrats across the country are embracing socialism and radical extremism at every level.”
