\n

In the wake of her primary victory on Tuesday evening in Colorado\u2019s first congressional district, conservatives and social media users expressed alarm at Melat Kiros\u2019s stated views of the 9\/11 terror attacks.<\/p>\n

“This is light-years worse than AOC beating 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley,” Steve Guest, a GOP strategist, said in a post<\/a> to X, referring to the rise of progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This is the Democrat party<\/a>,” Guest added.<\/p>\n

Kiros has suggested the U.S. may have invited the attacks on the World Trade Center<\/a> in 2001 that left nearly 3,000 Americans dead. Those views, compounded with other statements that have seemed to rationalize acts of violence, have sparked backlash<\/a> as she looks poised to capture a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives and further cement the momentum of the far-left flank of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

When asked if the 9\/11 attacks had been avoidable, Kiros said she believed the U.S. had made them “inevitable” through its foreign policy.<\/p>\n

“Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East. That forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response,” Kiros said in an interview.<\/a><\/p>\n

“SICK!” the Republican National Committee (RNC) wrote online, highlighting the comments.<\/a><\/p>\n

Benny Johnson, a conservative media personality, pointed to Kiros\u2019 win as evidence that the Democratic Party had conceded to candidates with extreme positions.<\/p>\n

“She is a socialist who was born in Ethiopia. Melat also thinks America deserved 9\/11. It isn\u2019t just happening in New York; Democrats are losing their entire party,” Johnson said in a post<\/a>, alluding to the victory of other socialist candidates with similar views.<\/p>\n

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., also echoed<\/a> Johnson\u2019s thinking.<\/p>\n

“One radical lunatic after the next is coming to Washington. Why would we ever want to empower someone who believes 9\/11 is America\u2019s fault?”<\/p>\n

MELAT KIROS BECOMES 28TH FAR-LEFT CANDIDATE TO WIN A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY THIS YEAR AS SOCIALISTS AMASS POWER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

On her website,<\/a> Kiros shares platform items that are commonly held by many radical progressives: Medicare-for-all, ending “all wars,” abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and universal childcare.<\/p>\n

“As someone who\u2019s working as a barista to pay for school and health care, I know what it\u2019s like to work so hard to get ahead while Washington is so far behind,” Kiros said in a campaign video.<\/a><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s her views on Israel and U.S. foreign relations that have set her apart from many other candidates, including DeGette.<\/p>\n

Kiros, a Ph.D. student and lawyer, was fired from a New York firm in 2023 after publishing an open letter, arguing that anti-Israel student protesters calling for the elimination of Israel were not antisemitic and appearing to defend Hamas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She has also described the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks against the Jewish state as the “inevitable consequence of apartheid” and declined to characterize<\/a> the deadly firebombing of protesters in Boulder last year who were urging the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza as antisemitic.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros told Colorado’s 9News<\/a> in a recent television interview. “All I know is that he went and attacked innocent people because of what they might have believed.”<\/p>\n

Like other onlookers, Clay Travis, the conservative founder of OutKick, a sports and pop culture website, said he feared<\/a> that Kiros\u2019 victory would only lead to more far-left momentum elsewhere.<\/p>\n

SOCIALISM GOES WEST AS DSA-BACKED CHALLENGER OUSTS LONGTIME DEMOCRAT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“That\u2019s four incumbents losing primaries to socialists<\/a> in a week. Every state now has a Mamdani [and] the Democrat Party<\/a> is on a rapid descent to Communism,” Travis wrote.<\/p>\n

Kiros will face Republican challenger Christy Peterson, a local accountant, in the state\u2019s general election on Nov. 3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
