WATCH: Socialist Flees Interview — Then Goes On To Win Primary

Darializa Avila Chevalier, the democratic socialist who just knocked off five-term Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York’s 13th Congressional District, appeared live on Spanish-language station La Mega, where she found herself cornered by hosts pressing her on a trove of deleted social media posts and radical past statements.

Her response? Rip off the headphones and walk.

“I am not going to sit here and be yelled at by various people,” she declared. “Have a beautiful day.” Exit stage left.

La arrogante de Darializa Ávila Chevalier fue al programa EL VACILÓN DE LA MAÑANA EN NEW YORK ???? y se molestó con el Pacha, Excarlet y Guebín porque le dijeron que se disculpe por ofender a los dominicanos y la bandera.

Hours later, she was a congresswoman-in-waiting.

The district — stretching across upper Manhattan and the Bronx, with a Cook PVI of D+32 — is about as safe a Democratic seat as exists in America. In 2024, Espaillat won it 83-16. The Republican nominee this fall, Army enlistee Manual Williams, ran unopposed for the GOP slot only because no one else bothered to file.

Avila Chevalier hasn’t won a seat in Congress yet — but she likely will cruise to victory in the general election.

That means voters are about to send to Washington one of the most radical figures to emerge from this cycle’s leftist wave. The 32-year-old community organizer showed up at a Times Square rally on October 8, 2023 — the morning after Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis — and later refused to condemn the attacks at a candidate forum, telling moderators to consider “75 years of occupation” instead. She has called Israel an “apartheid state” committing “genocide” and helped lead protests at Columbia University alongside a campus group that subsequently chanted “Death to America.”

Her deleted social media archive reads like a greatest-hits of the hard Left: abolish prisons, abolish police, no deportations ever. When asked about the last point, she was unambiguous: “All deportations are wrong.” She also torched Democratic Party leadership in posts she has since scrubbed and apologized for — selectively.

Then there’s the Dominican flag flap. In a district where Dominican-Americans make up a major voting bloc, Avila Chevalier once wrote that she refused to display the flag on her profile because nationalism is “violent.” On La Mega, when hosts offered her a chance to clear the air with that same community before polls closed, she shut it down twice — then walked out on the third try.

Backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the full machinery of NYC Democratic Socialists of America, she beat a sitting Congressional Hispanic Caucus chairman anyway.

Come November, barring a miracle, Congress gets her too.
