Angie Nixon, the socialist who just stunned Florida Democrats in a Senate primary, spent months attacking slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk — calling his supporters tools of “white supremacy” and comparing a bill honoring the Turning Point USA founder to something “brought straight by the KKK.”
Only six days after Kirk was murdered, State Rep. Nixon (D-FL) attacked GOP lawmakers who introduced resolutions honoring Kirk and those who supported them.
“It is BEYOND disrespectful for @SenRickScott & @JimmyPatronis to introduce resolutions honoring Charlie Kirk. That man said some of the most hateful about Black People and cloaked it in scripture,” Nixon wrote on Sept. 16. “ If you support it, you are a tool of white supremacy, and I DID NOT STUTTER!”

“And he was homophobic, antisemitic, misogynistic…the list goes on and on,” Nixon said of the 31-year-old conservative activist, who evangelized on college campuses and built a political ground game that helped elect President Donald Trump.
Months later, Nixon bragged about voting “NO on the Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance Bill in the Florida Legislature,” calling the legislation “a slap in the face to Black Women.”
When the bill establishing a Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance came before the Florida Legislature, Nixon escalated her attacks.
“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.
Just voted NO on the Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance Bill in the Florida Legislature. It’s a slap in the face to Black Women that this bill was even brought forth in our committee. This body has consistently shown that it is ok to be anti-Black Women in this state. Disrespectful!

Nixon argued that Kirk should not be memorialized, claiming the legislation was an attempt to “sanitize what this guy was about.” She also accused the Florida Legislature of promoting “hate and cruelty,” declaring that it was “OK” in the legislative body to be “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 her 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 blasted Nixon’s remarks in a statement to The Daily Wire.
“Nixon’s repulsive comments are hateful and unhinged, just like her,” Hall said.
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 Daily Wire previously reported.
The Jacksonville lawmaker, who went viral for shouting down her colleagues with a bullhorn, will face Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) in November to determine who will serve 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 — and potentially a major break for Republicans in a state Trump won by 13 points in 2024.
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.”
