曾在周二民主党初选中击败长期任职的众议员阿德里亚诺·埃斯帕利亚特、获纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼背书的民主党国会候选人达里亚利扎·阿维拉·谢瓦利埃，曾拥有一个现已被删除的推特账号，其中多次出现对共产主义、马克思主义意识形态及弗拉基米尔·列宁等苏联人物的正面提及。
阿维拉·谢瓦利埃是一名社会学博士生，她的胜选令民主党建制派震动。此前CNN就曾报道过她的这个已删除账号，其中包含“夺取生产资料”等表述，以及呼吁废除警察、监狱和边境的内容。其他有争议的推文还包括一则称黑人和阿拉伯男性都在“恋丑殖民女性”的帖子，以及一则将脏手擦在美国国旗上代替餐巾的内容。
阿维拉·谢瓦利尔本科就读于哥伦比亚大学，期间参与了“支持巴勒斯坦学生”组织的活动，毕业后参与了围绕以色列对加沙战争的巴勒斯坦支持校园抗议。她还出席了2023年10月8日在时代广场举行的有争议的亲巴勒斯坦集会——也就是哈马斯袭击以色列的次日——该集会有演讲者发表赞扬袭击的言论。
她此前曾告诉CNN：“自发布这些推文以来，我这些年成长了很多，我现在专注于我们的社区以及社区的未来。”
周四，唐纳德·特朗普总统指责阿维拉·谢瓦利埃是共产主义者，她在MSNOW节目中表示不会对此回应，称“我不会做出过激反应”。
对阿维拉·谢瓦利埃2020年至2022年的存档推特账号进行进一步审查发现，其中多次提及共产主义和马克思主义意识形态。该账号名为“Darializabonet”，似乎已于2022年6月被删除。
该账号2020年的个人简介为：“你可真共产主义啊。”这一时间段内的存档帖子和转发包括推荐卡尔·马克思的《资本论》为“必读经典”，抱怨公共图书馆没有足够收录列宁和其他革命作家的马克思主义著作，以及转发一个自称共产党的账号的内容，该账号哀叹书店的“禁书”专区没有收录《斯大林全集》。
2020年的一则存档转发引用了阿萨塔·沙库尔的话，沙库尔是前黑人解放军成员，1977年因谋杀一名新泽西州州警被定罪，后越狱逃往古巴。在这条转发中，沙库尔称自己“更喜欢胡志明、金日成、切（格瓦拉）或菲德尔（卡斯特罗）”，之后才研究马克思和列宁，因为这两位“白人男性”对“革命斗争”做出了“不容忽视的巨大贡献”。
2020年4月，阿维拉·谢瓦利埃转发了一条帖子，抱怨人们因为缺少多样的汤品就拒绝接受共产主义——这是针对“政治体制会减少消费者选择”的批评。
她转发的这条帖子写道：“我实在无法理解，宇宙给了我们资本主义所有弊端的完美例证，人们却还在说‘我们不能当共产主义者，因为汤的种类不够多’。”
其他帖子则对她认为带有反共产主义倾向的流行文化进行批评或调侃。
在一则帖子中，阿维拉·谢瓦利埃将动画电影《真假公主》描述为“明确反苏联的儿童电影”，在另一则链接帖中她写道：“是时候再次同情布尔什维克放进搅拌机里待了大概90分钟的人们了😌。”
阿维拉·谢瓦利埃是在回应一则广为传播的虚假说法，该说法称乌克兰危机后迪士尼因《真假公主》反俄内容将其从Disney+流媒体平台下架。
在另一则帖子中，阿维拉·谢瓦利埃调侃雪瑞儿·克劳的热门歌曲《享受阳光》是“自力更生的资本主义宣传”，因为她注意到歌曲开头的歌词是“我的朋友是共产主义者”，还打趣说这个角色“显然也是个糟糕的组织者，哈哈”。
2020年的另一则转发主张由工人民主掌控财富，并驳回意识形态标签，总结道：“你可以称之为共产主义，你可以称之为社会主义，你也可以称之为煎饼。”
此前，CNN曾曝光阿维拉·谢瓦利埃2020年4月的一则帖子，她在其中表示，尽管自己读过的大部分政治理论都是共产主义相关内容，但“无政府主义者的纵火癖好对我来说非常有吸引力”，并在评论末尾加上了笑到流泪的表情符号。
Deleted tweets on Darializa Avila Chevalier’s account had favorable references to communist leaders and Marxism

Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Democratic congressional nominee endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who ousted longtime Rep. Adriano Espaillat in Tuesday’s primary, maintained a since-deleted Twitter account with repeated sympathetic references to communism, Marxist ideology and Soviet figures, including Vladimir Lenin.
Avila Chevalier, a sociology PhD student whose victory sent shockwaves throughout the Democratic establishment, has been under fire for a since-deleted Twitter account, previously reported by CNN, that included phrases such as “seize the means of production,” along with calls to abolish police, prisons and borders. Other controversial tweets include one that said Black and Arab men are both “Fetishizing ugly colonizer women” and another that described wiping her dirty hands on the American flag in lieu of a napkin.
As an undergraduate,Avila Chevalier attended Columbia University, where she organized with Students for Justice in Palestine, and after graduation became involved in pro-Palestinian campus protests over Israel’s war in Gaza. She also attended a controversial October 8, 2023, pro-Palestinian rally in Times Square — one day after Hamas’ attack on Israel — that featured speeches and rhetoric praising the attack.
She previously told CNN, “I have grown considerably in the years since these tweets, and I am focused on our community and our community’s future.”
On Thursday, President Donald Trump accused Avila Chevalier of being a communist, a charge that she said she wouldn’t respond to while on MSNOW, saying, “I won’t be reactive.”
A further review of Avila Chevalier’s archived Twitter account from 2020-2022 found repeated references to communism and Marxist ideology. The account, “Darializabonet,” appears to have been deleted in June 2022.
The account’s bio read in 2020, “how communist of you.” Archived posts and retweets during this timeframe included a recommendation that Karl Marx’s Capital was an “essential must-read,” a complaint that public libraries did not carry enough Marxist literature by Lenin and other revolutionary writers, and a retweet from a Communist-identifying account lamenting that bookstore “banned books” displays did not include The Complete Works of J. V. Stalin.
One archived retweet from 2020 quoted Assata Shakur, the former Black Liberation Army member who,in 1977, was convicted in the murder of a New Jersey state trooper before later escaping prison and fleeing to Cuba. In the quote, Shakur said she “preferred Ho Chi Minh, Kim Il Sung, Che, or Fidel (Castro)” before studying Marx and Lenin because the two “white dudes” had made contributions to “revolutionary struggle” that were “too great to be ignored.”
In April 2020, Avila Chevalier shared a post lamenting that people wouldn’t accept communism over a lack of varieties of soup – a reference to the critique that the political system leads to fewer consumer choices.
“I just cannot get over the fact that the universe has foisted upon us the perfect illustration of literally every failing of capitalism and people are still like we can’t be communists cuz there won’t be enough types of soup,” the post she retweeted read.
Other posts critiqued or joked about popular culture she viewed as anti-communist.
In one post, Avila Chevalier described the animated film Anastasia as “an explicitly anti-USSR kid’s movie,” and in another post she linked to she wrote: “Time for me to once again sympathize with the people the Bolsheviks put in the blender for like 90 min 😌.”
Avila Chevalier was responding to a viral false claim that Disney had removed Anastasia from Disney+ streaming service because it was anti-Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.
In another post, Avila Chevalier joked that Sheryl Crow’s hit song Soak Up the Sun was “bootstrap capitalist propaganda” after noticing it opens with the lyric “my friend the communist,” quipping that the character was “apparently also a bad organizer lol.”
Another 2020 retweet argued for democratic worker control of wealth, dismissing ideological labels by concluding: “You can call that communism, you can call it socialism, you can call it pancakes.”
And previously, CNN had surfaced an April 2020 post where Avila-Chevalier said that while most of the political theory she had read was communist, “the pyromania associated with anarchism is very intriguing to me,” punctuating the remark with a laughing emoji.
