WASHINGTON — This week, after funding the federal government and preventing another Democrat shutdown, House Republicans offered two commonsense measures to condemn socialism and preserve the integrity of the Supreme Court. Predictably, an overwhelming majority of House Democrats voted against both.

“House Democrats just confirmed that socialism and the communist playbook are on the ballot this November. 192 House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning socialism, communism, and the 100 million deaths those dangerous ideologies have wrought over time, while an additional 205 Democrats voted to pack the U.S. Supreme Court,” Speaker Johnson said. “For members of Congress who swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution, condemning socialism and defending the integrity of the Supreme Court shouldn’t be a controversial vote. Sadly, for today’s Democrats, they are.”

Background:

House Republicans passed H. Res 1490 from Rep. Jeff Crank to condemn socialism in all forms, the Democrat Socialists of America, and their radical, anti-American platform which calls for the abolition of police and prisons, allowing noncitizens to vote, and packing the Supreme Court.

192 House Democrats voted against this resolution.

House Republicans unanimously supported H.J. Res 1 from Rep. Andy Biggs, a constitutional amendment to require that the Supreme Court of the United States be composed of nine justices.

205 House Democrats voted against this amendment.
