Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) U.S. Senate candidate for Florida, Angie Nixon, had a paid staffer who praised Hamas as ‘freedom fighters’ and expressed hostility toward Zionists, according to recent reports. The staffer, Sara Mahmoud, served as Nixon’s social media manager and had a history of posting controversial content on social media.
Staffer’s Controversial Posts
According to Fox Digital, Mahmoud made several posts in 2018 that included praise for Hamas, such as, ‘Glory and honor to our freedom fighters. Praying for their safety and success.’ This post was made on the same day Hamas launched as many as 400 rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel.
One now-deleted post by Mahmoud included the statement, ‘Can Zionists die already?’ Another post she made in 2018 stated, ‘Palestine is the land of the Arab Palestinian people, from it they originate, to it they adhere and belong, and about it they reach out and communicate.’ She also openly wished for white Jews to die, writing, ‘Wow, white Jews are so entitled lmfaoooo please die,’ in 2016.
Nixon’s Remarks on CAIR
Nixon, who frequently references Marxist cop killer Assata Shakur, has also made remarks about using the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a tool for political success in Florida. She stated, ‘We need to start working on building the right vehicles. And the right vehicles are CAIR Florida. We can’t just build party. We have to build up our people in order to build up our country.’ However, it is not clear when Nixon made these remarks.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order last year designating both CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. He wrote, ‘Florida agencies are hereby directed to undertake all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support.’
Ironically, Nixon has labeled President Donald Trump as ‘basically a communist,’ despite her own membership in DSA. However, she has also tried to downplay her association with socialist ideology. She embraces a range of radical left-wing positions, including the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), funding universal health care, and implementing universal childcare and pre-kindergarten.
