The Democratic Socialists of America released a statement on Saturday calling on the U.S. to leave NATO and “end the imperialist expansionism that set the stage for” the Russian invasion of Ukraine:
“DSA reaffirms our call for the US to withdraw from NATO and to end the imperialist expansionism that set the stage for this conflict” https://t.co/cGyd2BBn0S

Over to you, journos. It’s time to ask *EVERY* Squad member and other members of Congress who align with the DSA if they agree with this statement:
Multiple members of Congress are aligned with the DSA and rely on them for campaign support. Seems important for congressional reporters to ask them whether they agree with the DSA that the US should ditch NATO. https://t.co/qCPUSUIAbS

But will they actually do it? We doubt it:
So any reporters going to ask the squad members currently party of DSA (Bowman, AOC, Cori Bush, and Tlaib) if they agree with this position? https://t.co/lRJBC9LZQi

It’s an easy question to answer!

Hey @AOC, you belong to this group. Do you agree? https://t.co/H7pcPxVYa5

Mike Gwin, the White House rapid response director, did call the DSA statement “shameful”:
Shameful. https://t.co/54Z8bTvFpF

Narrator: It was not a good statement:
it’s a good statement, mike

Weird. AOC and all the rest don’t seem bothered by this old statement at all:
You might want to reevaluate why you referred to the deaths of dozens of Ukrainians seeking democracy and basic freedoms in 2014 as a ‘coup’https://t.co/qfbg3GB27S
