New York City's lone Republican in the House of Representatives is raising alarms about the far-left Democrats poised to serve alongside her on Capitol Hill next year. "These people are extreme, they're radical, they are dangerous, and they really have no business being in the United States House of Representatives," Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital. "And it scares me that they're going to have access to intelligence." New York City was one of the largest fronts in the nationwide civil war that's gripped the Democratic Party this midterm election cycle . It's where two members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) scored upset primary victories against establishment-backed candidates — in deep-blue seats that mean they are virtually guaranteed to win their general elections in November.

Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y. Both Chevalier and Valdez have called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and have called Israel's war on Gaza a "genocide." DSA CO-CHAIR MOCKED FOR PROUDLY CONFIRMING SOCIALISTS WANT TO ABOLISH THE SENATE, NATIONAL BORDERS, PRISONS Malliotakis said their support of the DSA platform made both "un-American." "I think they want to undermine the country. I mean, anybody whose campaign is based on no jails, no cops, no borders, is a real detriment to the country," she said. "These are the people that are going to have access to intelligence? I think [Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.] really needs to look at that and see if they're a national security threat."
