Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon calls for jailing GOP opponent Ashley Moody

Florida Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon said Wednesday she wants her Republican opponent, U.S.

Sen.

Ashley Moody, R-Fla., locked up and punished in jail.

"The fact remains that Ashley Moody is a lying, cheating, thieving, scamming person who basically took $10 million from sick kids for the Medicaid program.

And she rerouted that into two political slush funds for Ron DeSantis to defeat two citizen-led ballot initiatives," Nixon told CNN host Kasie Hunt.

"She also voted to end healthcare for over 440,000 people here in the state of Florida.

And they are spreading, like, a lot of disinformation and lies on commercials about me, of saying things like, I want to abolish prisons and I want to defund the police." The Democratic Senate candidate then said, "Why would I want to do that when I want her locked up and punished in jail for what she has done?" 5 TAKEAWAYS FROM FLORIDA SENATE PRIMARY: GOP SEN ASHLEY MOODY WILL FACE DSA'S NIXON Hunt asked a follow-up question to confirm Nixon's remarks: "You want your Republican opponent locked up?"
