Emanuel Cleaver Refuses to Condemn Socialism

September 2, 2026

Socialist Emanuel Cleaver voted against condemning socialism in all its forms and specifically to denounce the Democratic Socialists of America and its anti-American agenda.

That should have been the easiest vote Cleaver ever cast. He still sided with socialists.

“Spineless Emanuel Cleaver could not bring himself to condemn the failed, freedom-crushing ideology that has starved nations, destroyed economies, and empowered dictators. Anyone this weak has no business representing Missourians.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
