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.""Its 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 APPROACHESHundreds of groups hosted May Day demonstrations, including chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America, Peoples Forum and Code Pink.A Fox News Digital investigation identified a network of activist groups with roughly $2 billion in combined annual revenue that organized thousands of protests Friday."These kinds of protests are being funded by billionaires against billionaires," Fetterman said.

My kids were in school. And you can have beliefs, but I really believe that education is the most important thing, and that's a value that we can't forget," Fetterman said."Especially celebrating some of the worst ideas that ever visited humanity."
