In an interview Tuesday, counselor to President Trump Kellyanne Conway spoke about the rise of socialism in the Democratic Party.

There has been a recent national embrace of Democrats who claim the tenets of Socialism, stemming from movement leaders Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

During the interview at Turning Point USA’s High School Leadership Summit, Fox News host Jesse Watters told Conway, “Democrats have gone so far left they’re into socialism now.”

Conway called Ocasio-Cortez a “good-looking Bernie Sanders” before saying she doesn’t “mind it at all” that socialists have taken over the Democratic Party since the extremist political views are out of touch with the American electorate.

Conway called Ocasio-Cortez “the new face of the socialist left” and said Democrats are now having buyer’s remorse over giving her such a platform after exhibiting a bungled mastery of economics and diplomacy.

“If they cancel her, we can call them sexist and racist for doing so,” Conway said of Democrats who are hesitant about Ocasio-Cortez’s meteoric rise.

Conway said moderate Democrats have been “purged rom the party” because there is now a “following for socialism.”

Ultimately, Conway said she is confident that “voters will reject” socialism at the ballot box.

Conway’s comments begin at hour 3:17 in the video below.
