NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., warned against what he called a "small communist takeover" within his own party during an appearance on "Jesse Watters Primetime." Criticizing far-left groups involved in May Day protests, Fetterman described the current state of activism as an "orgy of socialism.""It’s like a marriage of the Palestinian, the anti-ICE, the abolish ICE, and now turning it into like an orgy of socialism here," Fetterman said Friday.The Pennsylvania senator noted that while he supports the labor unions that May Day is traditionally meant to celebrate, he believes recent demonstrations have strayed too far from the intended mission."I am an absolutely proud pro-union Democrat, but the kinds of mess that you see are showing up in many of them. That is the worst impulses that our party continues," he said.INSIDE ANTIFA-LINKED GROUP'S PLAN TO 'STRUCTURALLY CHANGE' THE US AS MAY DAY UNREST APPROACHES U.S. Sen.
