A damning new video has exposed several prominent Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-aligned politicians participating in an online rally where a speaker openly lamented that neutralizing Iran would strip terror groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis of their crucial funding. The revelation comes courtesy of the pro-Israel research group Canary Mission, which shared the clip in an exclusive thread.
The footage, captured from a March fundraiser dubbed "Choose Your Fighter" and hosted by Progressive Victory, aimed to drum up support for progressives opposing conflict with Iran. But what unfolded was far more disturbing than a simple policy debate.
Left-wing podcaster Kyle Kulinski, a key speaker at the event, didn't hold back. He outrageously claimed the United States and Israel were constructing a "fourth Reich" before pivoting to Tehran's notorious regional proxies.
Kulinski, with an unsettling tone, stated: "If Iran's off the table as a regional power, that means Hezbollah can't be funded. Hamas can't be funded. The Houthis can't be funded." This isn't just a factual observation; as conservative commentator Guy Benson rightly pointed out, this line was delivered as a clear lament, a mournful reflection on the potential loss of terror financing.
As if that weren't enough, Kulinski further doubled down on his extremism, asserting that U.S. and Israeli officials "are the terrorists" and brazenly likening them to figures like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
Among the attendees at this shocking online gathering were high-profile figures such as Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), former Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), and Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Also flagged were two DSA congressional hopefuls, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Melat Kiros, whose radical views are already well-documented.
Adding insult to injury, Benjamin Gilbert-Lif, deputy executive director for Progressive Victory, shamelessly defended Kulinski's incendiary comments, telling Fox News that the group stands by them and that they reflect "the views of our community." This chilling statement reveals how deeply entrenched these anti-American and anti-Western sentiments are within segments of the modern Democratic Party.
In a predictable attempt at damage control, a spokesperson for Rep. Khanna claimed the congressman "joined for 5 minutes to speak and left" and "was not on at the time these remarks were made," adding that he "obviously disagrees" with them. Such a feeble excuse rings hollow when one chooses to associate with such outright extremism.
This disturbing rally comes as the DSA's influence continues to expand within the Democratic Party. Melat Kiros recently unseated a 15-term incumbent, and Darializa Avila Chevalier, another DSA-backed hopeful, co-founded a group that explicitly calls for the "total eradication of Western civilization."
The willingness of these progressive figures to lament the potential defunding of designated terror organizations, while simultaneously demonizing America and its allies, is a stark warning. It underscores the radical ideological drift within the Democratic Party and highlights the urgent need for America First leadership that prioritizes national security, supports our allies, and vehemently rejects any sympathy for those who seek to undermine Western civilization. True patriots understand that supporting terrorist financiers is anathema to American values, and such dangerous rhetoric cannot be allowed to infiltrate the halls of power without fierce opposition.
