New York Assembly member Claire Valdez’s Fourth of July social media post featuring a pro-Palestinian message sparked backlash over the weekend, with commentators across the political spectrum blasting her priorities.<\/p>\n

Valdez, a socialist poised to represent a deep-blue New York City congressional district in Congress, made the comments Saturday as Americans nationwide celebrated the country\u2019s 250th birthday.<\/p>\n

The Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidate\u2019s post did not appear to praise any aspect of the United States or pay tribute to the country\u2019s founding.<\/p>\n

Valdez wrote that she would continue to “fight for liberation from Palestine to Puerto Rico, for a Green New Deal,<\/a> for the world we deserve,” on the social media platform X.<\/p>\n

“Actually, the Fourth of July isn’t about Palestine,” commentator Stephen Miller griped at Valdez in response.<\/p>\n

“Modern Democratic Party: The Fourth of July is a fight to free Palestine,” Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings observed.<\/p>\n

“These people have no idea what the Declaration is for no[r] any understanding of the purpose of our government,” journalist Brianna Lyman wrote.<\/p>\n

Valdez won a Democratic primary election in June for an open House seat spanning Brooklyn and Queens, with the backing of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.<\/a> Given the progressive bastion\u2019s heavily Democratic tilt, the House hopeful is expected to face little competition in November\u2019s general election.<\/p>\n

She is one of several socialists who trounced establishment-aligned Democrats in the Empire State\u2019s primaries, marking a major victory for the far-left wing<\/a> of the party.<\/p>\n

Valdez and the other Democratic nominees \u2014 former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and activist Darializa Avila Chevalier \u2014 have called for ending military aid to Israel, enacting Green New Deal-style legislation and Medicare for All, which would create a government-run single-payer system.<\/p>\n

The trio is likely to push Democrats to support tax hikes on the highest earners if elected to Congress and have frequently argued that the wealthy and big corporations are responsible for the country\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n

“Freedom is only possible when we have the conditions for the good life \u2014 healthcare, housing, education, and dignity on the job,” Valdez also wrote on social media Saturday. “But the system is rigged and our planet poisoned by billionaires, bosses, and war profiteers.”<\/p>\n

Commentators hammered Valdez for focusing on what she viewed as the country’s flaws on Independence Day, while blasting her socialist policies.<\/p>\n

“The commitment some people have to being absolutely insufferable and miserable is almost admirable,” former Biden White House press office Chief of Staff Yemisi Egbewole wrote on social media. “It\u2019s the Fourth of July. Eat a hot dog. Watch fireworks. Call your family. Love the country that gave you the freedom to post this nonsense.<\/p>\n

“Claire Valdez won her district\u2019s rich precincts and high-education ones 64 to 27. She lost low-income areas by 32 points and Black ones by 50 points,” NewsNation\u2019s Batya Ungar-Sargon observed. “This anti-America claptrap is trust fund socialism \u2014 vanity morals of the elite that operate as a smokescreen for their privilege.”<\/p>\n

Valdez’s post echoed Mamdani’s Fourth of July message,<\/a> in which he sharply criticized the wealthiest Americans \u2014 and the capitalism that made their affluence possible \u2014 while railing against various chapters of American history.<\/p>\n

“We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one where children go to sleep hungry while the world’s first trillionaire hungers for more,” Mamdani said in his remarks, referencing SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk without naming him.<\/p>\n

“We see monopolies that dominate every industry, and oligarchs who buy elections,” Mamdani continued.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Valdez\u2019s campaign for comment but did not immediately hear back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
