Res. 1490, Providing for the Condemnation and Denouncement of Socialism in all its Forms: “Socialism and the government takeover of our lives have no place in America. It is anathema to our way of life and the American Dream. I am proud to have supported this important resolution denouncing socialism and safeguarding our nation's integrity. Socialism has wreaked havoc across our hemisphere. The catastrophic impact of socialism is undeniable. Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua are vivid reminders of the destructive consequences that socialist governance can have on societies and nations: decades of dictatorship and repression, the destruction of once-thriving nations, and forcing millions to flee their homeland. America was founded upon the principles of individual liberty, representative government, and the God-given rights of its people. We must never take these freedoms for granted or allow an ideology with such a devastating historical record to gain an unchallenged foothold. We must remain steadfast in defending those principles, and ensuring that the United States never follows the destructive path that has brought repression and ruin to countless others. I am appalled to see that 192 Democrats chose to oppose this resolution and refused to condemn this anti-American ideology responsible for so much suffering and oppression. America must learn from history and reject socialism in all its forms. I will always stand for freedom, economic opportunity, and the constitutional rights that make our nation exceptional.” Resolution text can be found here. ### | 1 | 2026-09-02T09:19:58Z | 2026-09-02T09:20:51Z |
