State Senator Decries Labor Day as 'Communist Holiday' [View all]

Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers has suggested that the Labor Day celebration is in fact a "Communist Holiday."

Rogers did not expand upon her reasoning for criticizing the federal holiday, which takes place on the first Monday of September and celebrates the American workforce.

"Labor Day is a Communist Holiday," the Republican tweeted on September 6.

Her comments were met with mockery from other social media users.

The Arizona House Democrats Twitter account tweeted in reply: "Says the heart and soul of Arizona's Republican Party (prove us wrong)."

"You do realize that if you keep falsely calling all good things communist you're only going to make communism more attractive, no?" asked Twitter user @smenor.
