Yes, both parties have done this.

It's not that the GOP is ideologically aligning with socialists of course; they just see it as a way to further divide moderate and progressive Democrats.

They tend to target controversial, inexperienced, or electorally weak candidates as a means to hurt moderate Democrats, which, occasionally, advantages more progressive candidates (this is a side-effect, not their primary goal).

It's worth noting that this recent wave of DSA candidate wins in NY is overwhelmingly due to grassroots campaigning, not GOP meddling, with Mamdani being a kind of blueprint for how DSA-aligned candidates can win.
