Angie Nixon is the far left Democrat who defeated Alex Vindman in the recent Democrat primary. Nixon is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), but is now trying to distance herself from the increasingly toxic organization.
Socialism is not going to fly in Florida and she knows it.
The amazing aspect of this story is how the media is bending over backwards to help her accomplish the feat of separating herself from the DSA.
FOX News reports:
Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon distanced herself from several major planks in the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) national program Thursday on “Meet the Press NOW,” after host Kristen Welker pressed her to explain why she joined an organization that called for abolishing the office she is seeking.
Nixon said she joined the DSA because it supported public housing, healthcare, helping homeless veterans and removing big money from politics, but rejected incumbent Republican Sen. Ashley Moody’s characterization of her political identity.
“Ashley Moody knows that I’m not a socialist,” Nixon said. “I joined the DSA because I believe in them in regards to fighting for adequate public housing, as well as fighting for quality healthcare, as well as making sure that we are getting our veterans off the street, taking big money out of politics, right?”…
Nixon explicitly rejected abolishing the Senate and drafting a new constitution. She also said she did not support defunding the military, although she called for greater scrutiny of defense spending. Nixon did not directly answer Welker’s question about lifting sanctions on Iran.
“I don’t believe in defunding anything. I think we need to make sure that we are scrutinizing them, and we need to make sure we’re spending money the right way,” Nixon said.
