Angie Nixon, a Democratic Socialists of America Senate candidate in Florida, has a well-earned reputation for making ludicrous statements during her career in politics, such as heaping praise on a Marxist cop killer while she was holding a campaign event in a church. She also has a history of calling for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies to be put back into practice and has admitted to taking her kids to drag shows, calling them “wholesome” entertainment.
In a concerning pattern that has been playing out in states across the country, Nixon beat Trump-hating Democrat Alex Vindman in Florida’s primary race and is headed to the general election where she will face off against Rep. Ashley Moody (R-FL) this November. However, Nixon’s win means that her policies and previous statements are now being heavily scrutinized, particularly her desire to create a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens.
During a campaign speech delivered inside a church, the Florida state representative quoted Marxist cop killer Assata Shakur, who was once on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s “most wanted” terrorists list. “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 told the audience.
“‘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,'” she continued, according to Breitbart News. “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.”
“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 ranted on, “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.”
A quick visit to Nixon’s campaign website reveals that she claims that if she wins the Senate race, she will fight for the “Working Families Guarantee,” which is a package of “free” programs including Medicare for All, free childcare, free paid family and sick leave, a national rent freeze and moratorium on evictions, and a universal jobs program.
The DSA candidate also wants to “demilitarize” local law enforcement departments and abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and rebuild immigration enforcement “from scratch.” She believes the system needs to contain a “swift path to citizenship for Dreamers and undocumented residents, and a moratorium on deportations pending a full audit of enforcement practices,” Breitbart reported.

During an appearance on MS Now, Nixon was asked if she supported open borders. Her answer to the question should concern Americans who care about safety, crime, and jobs, all of which have been negatively impacted by the flood of illegals that entered the U.S. under former President Joe Biden. “I support a comprehensive and clear pathway to citizenship for folks,” she replied.
