CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 3, 2026
THE DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA WANT TO ABOLISH THE CONSTITUTION. IF ANY OF THEIR CANDIDATES WIN CONGRESSIONAL SEATS, THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE AN OATH IN WHICH ONE SWEARS TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
DOES THAT MEAN A PERSON WHO WON THE ELECTION AND IS A MEMBER OF THE DSA, WOULD BE DENIED A SEAT BECAUSE THEY COULDN’T TAKE THE OATH? THEIR PARTY’S PLATFORM CLEARLY STATES IT WANTS TO ABOLISH THE CONSTITUTION.
THAT’S A QUESTION TOM BASILE ASKS IN LAST FRIDAY’S WASHINGTON TIMES.
BASILE WRITES: “AMERICANS LEGALLY ELECTED BUT UNABLE TO FAITHFULLY AND TRUTHFULLY TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT DISMANTLING THE CONSTITUTION CANNOT BE SEATED. IF YOU CANNOT TAKE THE OATH, YOU CANNOT SERVE.”
HOW THIS PRACTICALLY WORKS WILL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH, ASSUMING ANY OF THESE DSA AND DSA-SUPPORTING CANDIDATES WIN. THE FOUNDERS WERE BRILLIANT ABOUT THIS. THEY WEREN’T THINKING OF COMMUNISM OR ISLAMISM, BUT THEY COULD SPECULATE ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC ENEMIES TO THE CONSTITUTION THEY COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN. THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE SHOULDN’T WORK TO KEEP THEM FROM WINNING ELECTIONS. THEY GAVE US PROTECTION FROM SUCH ENEMIES. WE SHOULD EMBRACE IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
