The Breitbart News reported Tuesday that North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee said the same day that he is quitting the Democratic Party to become a Republican because of the party’s shift toward socialism.
Speaking to Fox News’ “Hawes & Friends” Tuesday morning, Mayor Lee said, “The Democratic Party in Nevada recently held a leadership election and elected four of the five people who are associated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). ) associated with the organization. The Democratic Party is no longer the party of my formative years 25 years ago, nor is it a party I can be associated with any longer.”
“Fox & Friends” is a daily morning news/talk show for conservative Americans. The Democratic Socialists of America is a political organization made up of democratic socialists, left-wing social democrats and labor movement activists.
In the Fox interview, Mayor Lee said, “The working class, working people in America, and small business owners are no longer part of the conversation. It’s all about the elitists, it’s all about the socialists. That’s not the agenda that I have in mind for America or the future.”
Mayor Lee was considered a conservative Democrat when he was a Nevada legislator. Now, he is considered a potential Nevada gubernatorial candidate in 2022, although he himself denies that he will run.
Mayor Lee said, “I was commended, but at this point, I’m still focused on some big projects in North Las Vegas, and I don’t want to be distracted yet.”
