Darializa Avila Chevalier won the Democratic primary election for New York City’s 13th Congressional District on Tuesday night, defeating Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY). Chevalier, a self-described socialist whom New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani endorsed, defeated the five-term congressman by a margin of 49.4% of the vote to Espaillat’s 45.9%, good for a lead of over 2,300 votes as of early Wednesday (with 88% of the vote counted), according to the Associated Press. And she won the election after making disrespectful and disparaging remarks about the U.S. flag.Given the city’s voting demographics, it is highly likely that Chevalier will be the next congressional representative from New York’s 13th District. This also means she will be the latest socialist to be elected to office from the Big Apple. New York City, once considered the preeminent symbol of capitalism in the world, is slowly evolving into a paradise of socialist politicians. First, there was Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), then there was fire alarm enthusiast former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, then Mamdani, and now Chevalier. The election of socialists in New York is a very troubling trend. And the election of someone of the character of Chevalier, or lack thereof, has confirmed several claims that conservatives and Republicans have been saying about Democrats in recent years, most notably, they hate the country. Candidates such as Chevalier confirm this. Look no further than Chevalier’s own words from an old social media post, in which she said she used the U.S. flag as a napkin.
