The Socialists aren’t just taking over New York. This happened in Colorado.

A 29-year-old Democratic Socialist ousted a longtime Democrat incumbent in Colorado’s 1st District in Tuesday night’s House primary.

Far-left candidate Melat Kiros defeated 15-time incumbent Democrat Rep. Diana DeGette on Tuesday night.

Kiros, who was born in Ethiopia, was backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Kiros recently claimed that 9/11 was America’s fault.

Crazy Bernie Sanders also endorsed Kiros.

The 29-year-old lawyer argued that the US has Socialism already because the government maintains roads and highways.

“We have socialism already. It’s in the roads we drive on, the schools we send our kids to, the fire stations we call upon. I’m just asking that we extend that security to our healthcare, to our housing, to our nutritional food, to our higher education so that we’re actually meeting the basic needs of everyday working families in this country,” Kiros said this week in a media interview.
