Florida’s Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Senate candidate Angie Nixon has a history of making outlandish statements throughout her political career, including praising a Marxist cop killer while campaigning in a church, calling for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies to be put back in place, and admitting to taking her children to drag shows, referring to them as “wholesome” entertainment.
Nixon defeated Trump-hater Alex Vindman (D) in her primary battle and will now face off against Republican Rep. Ashley Moody (R-FL) in November’s general election. With that, many of Nixon’s positions – which also include bringing back DEI and prioritizing a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens – are coming to light.
Here are some of her crazy moments.
1.The Florida state representative openly quoted Marxist cop killer Assata Shakur, who at one time appeared on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) list of “most wanted” terrorists,” while campaigning in a church.
“I’m gonna open this up for questions, but I’m gonna leave y’all with these words of a famous freedom fighter before we open it up: Assata Shakur,” Nixon said. “‘It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.’”
“Our chains are attacks on the Voting Rights Act. Our chains are them closing down our neighborhood schools. Our chains are them spending a billion dollars on a ballroom you will never get to dance in – never, ever get to dance in,” Nixon said, seemingly taking issue with the addition of the White House Ballroom even as security concerns abound, as seen with the would-be shooter at the WHCA dinner earlier this year.
Nixon continued, asserting that the “chains” are “them kidnapping our immigrant neighbors and locking them up,” falsely suggesting that ICE is arresting illegal aliens for no reason.
“Our chains are them not arresting corrupt cops that shoot black unarmed men in the streets. Our chains are the attacks on women’s rights. Our chains,” she continued, “are them emboldening racists to come into my district and shoot three black people in the Dollar General, and only say that person was a little off and didn’t even want to say that he was a racist.”
She then again quoted Marxist cop killer Shakur: “‘It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win,’” concluding that there is “absolutely nothing to lose” but “our chains.”
