The race for Florida’s seat in the U.S. Senate was already a stretch for Democrats before the party’s socialist nominee, Angie Nixon, exposed her level of commitment to revolutionary socialism:

In a truly disastrous interview with CBS News, Nixon complained about the Trump administration’s deportation policy — specifically, its efforts to repatriate Cuban nationals back to Cuba. But when she was asked whether she would try to frustrate that policy as a senator, Nixon seemed confused about why that would be necessary or even desirable. Cuban migrants should have access to a “clear and comprehensive pathway to citizenship,” she explained.
