86 House Dems Vote Against Resolution Condemning 'Horrors of Socialism'

A total of 86 House Democrats voted against a symbolic resolution put forward by Republicans "denouncing the horrors of socialism," Business Insider reports.

The resolution states that "socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has time and time again collapsed into Communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and brutal dictatorships," and lists famines in the Soviet Union, Ukraine, China, and North Korea, as well as violence in Cambodia and high inflation in Venezuela.

Every Republican in the House voted for the resolution, as did most House Democrats except for 86 who voted against it and 14 who voted "present." Insider notes that the resolution was intended to split Democrats.
