Feely’s Socialist Scare Tactics Exposed | Phoenix News

In Arizona’s first congressional district, Republican Jay Feely—backed by Trump—is unleashing a fiery “red-scare” campaign against Democrat Dr. Amish Shah, falsely branding him a “socialist” and DSA member despite Shah never joining the group. Feely paints Shah as supporting radical policies like open borders and abolishing private property, claims fiercely denied by Shah’s supporters, including Phoenix DSA members who describe him as a moderate ER doctor focused on healthcare access. Shah’s campaign calls Feely’s attacks baseless and politically desperate, highlighting his bipartisan endorsements and practical policy record instead. As democratic socialist ideas gain traction among younger voters, this old political tactic may be out of step—or just too effective for Feely’s strategy.
