France arrested 5,000 rioters this month as Marxists and Islamists set the country on fire.
Now a Democrat who served both Clinton and Biden just went on Fox News and said what his own party won't.
What he said about the Democrat's radical Left wing should terrify every American watching Paris burn.
France Riots 2026: Intelligence Confirmed the Radical Left Organized the Violence
What started in late September as student protests over overcrowded classrooms in a Paris suburb became a national catastrophe within days.
Over 700 secondary schools across France were blockaded or shut down.
City halls were torched, police in Limoges ran out of ammunition during an arson attack, and Palestinian flags flew above burning streets in cities that once prided themselves on secular law and order.
French mayors are now formally calling for terrorism investigations – some are referring to the violence as the "French Intifada."
French intelligence told a government crisis meeting on October 1st that the violence was not spontaneous.
The riots were, according to the intelligence briefing, "an operation organized by LFI and its proxies on the far left."
LFI is France Unbowed – the radical socialist movement led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, France's version of Bernie Sanders but without the guardrails.
His coalition merged radical Marxists with Islamist networks – what the French call "Islamo-gauchisme" – and turned Muslim-majority suburbs into a political and paramilitary base for the 2027 presidential campaign.
France's establishment spent years dismissing warnings about this coalition as right-wing paranoia.
Now their police are running out of ammo.
DSA Mayor Zohran Mamdani Is Already Abolishing ICE in New York City
The Democratic Socialists of America already control America's largest city.
Zohran Mamdani – elected NYC mayor last November on a platform of abolishing ICE, abolishing prisons, and opening the borders – is running the American version of what Mélenchon built in France.
When ABC's Jonathan Karl pressed him on whether abolishing ICE and opening the borders could win nationally, Mamdani refused to back down – and he is not a fringe candidate running a protest campaign.
This month alone, he tried to force the release of a man who allegedly rammed his car into ICE officers, then pushed to have ICE removed from New York City entirely.
Internal DSA planning documents leaked to Just the News reveal the blueprint: DSA's Anti-War Working Group demanded Mamdani stock City Hall with DSA loyalists, mobilize the army of foot soldiers that won him the election, and run his administration as a DSA operation from the inside.
DSA member Linda Sarsour – a key Mamdani ally – made the arrangement explicit: "Electing Zohran doesn't mean we're going to let him do whatever the hell he wants."
They're not supporting him. They're running him.
Beyond New York, DSA has elected a mayor in Seattle and won the Democratic primary for mayor in Washington, D.C.
Seven of eight DSA-backed candidates just won New York state legislature primaries – boosting DSA's presence in Albany from nine seats to fourteen.
By July 2026, DSA claimed over 100,000 members nationwide – enough that even Van Jones warned, "This is a new era for the Democratic Party."
Then Jamie Metzl went on Fox News and said what the entire Democratic establishment has refused to admit.
Metzl is no conservative – he spent his career as an NSC official under Clinton, Biden's Deputy Staff Director on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and a WHO adviser.
"If you like what you're seeing in France," Metzl said, "then you should support these DSA candidates who are, essentially, calling for the same thing here."
A Clinton and Biden Democrat just said it out loud on national television.
The DSA has its own version of Mélenchon's red-green alliance – Mamdani's campaign was built on the same pro-Hamas, anti-Israel activist networks now flying Palestinian flags in the streets of Paris.
What France lived through took Mélenchon a decade to build.
The DSA built its version in five years – and it already controls the mayor's office of the most powerful city in America.
The midterms are two weeks away, with DSA-endorsed candidates on ballots across New York, Seattle, Denver, and Washington, D.C.
Metzl is still a Democrat – but he's watching France burn and telling anyone who will listen what comes next.
The French establishment made the same private warnings years ago.
Then they went back to dismissing conservatives who said it out loud.
