Socialist Senate Nominee Called Kirk Supporters Tools of White Supremacy

Angie Nixon stunned Florida Democrats by winning a Senate primary — but her months-long campaign attacking Charlie Kirk and his supporters is now front-page material heading into November.

The Democratic Socialist lawmaker called Kirk supporters tools of “white supremacy” and compared legislation honoring the Turning Point USA founder to something “brought straight by the KKK.”

Six days after Kirk was murdered, State Rep. Nixon attacked GOP lawmakers who introduced resolutions honoring the conservative activist.

“It is BEYOND disrespectful for @SenRickScott & @JimmyPatronis to introduce resolutions honoring Charlie Kirk,” Nixon wrote on Sept. 16. “If you support it, you are a tool of white supremacy, and I DID NOT STUTTER!”

Nixon also called the 31-year-old conservative activist — who evangelized on college campuses and built a political ground game that helped elect President Trump — “homophobic, antisemitic, misogynistic.”

The list went “on and on,” she said.

Months later, Nixon bragged about voting NO on the Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance Bill in the Florida Legislature. She called the legislation “a slap in the face to Black Women.”

When the bill came to the floor, Nixon compared it to KKK legislation.

“This bill, to members of my community, black people, is like a bill brought straight by the KKK,” Nixon said during the debate, according to CBS News.

Nixon argued the legislation was an attempt to “sanitize what this guy was about.” She accused the Florida Legislature of promoting “hate and cruelty” and being “anti-black” and “anti-Muslim.”

“If you removed all of the stuff he said about Black people and made it about Jewish people, we wouldn’t be here,” Nixon said. “We would label him antisemitic, and you’d be saying he’s saying things that are terroristic.”

After facing intense online backlash, Nixon lashed out at critics in crude terms.

“Hi keyboard warriors! I’m not gonna be too many more of your apes, dirty b*tches,” she wrote, adding that her critics were “illustrating why I voted no on that divisive bill.”

RNC spokeswoman Emma Hall fired back.

“Nixon’s repulsive comments are hateful and unhinged, just like her,” Hall said in a statement to The Daily Wire.

Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, scored a major upset Tuesday night by defeating former Trump impeachment witness Alex Vindman for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.

The Jacksonville lawmaker — who went viral for shouting down colleagues with a bullhorn — will face Sen. Ashley Moody in November to determine who serves the final two years of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s Senate term.

Nixon’s upset marks a major victory for the Democratic Party’s insurgent socialist wing. For Republicans in a state Trump won by 13 points in 2024, it’s a gift.

Prediction markets give Moody a 94% chance of winning the seat in November.

“Ashley Moody is saying, ‘Thank you, God. Thank you, God,'” CNN’s polling guru Harry Enten joked Friday.

“It turns out that nominating a self-described Democratic socialist in a state like Florida, where there are a lot of, let’s say, Cuban refugees, is not necessarily the smartest idea. The Democratic Party and those Democratic voters – essentially, probably, taking this race off the board come November.”
