Who is Angie Nixon? Bullhorn-wielding socialist upsets establishment favorite in Sunshine State stunner

Another Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member just toppled the party establishment’s preferred candidate, this time in Florida.

Florida state lawmaker Angie Nixon, who recently disrupted a vote in the Florida Legislature with a bullhorn protest inside the state Capitol, defeated establishment-backed candidate Alexander Vindman.

Nixon, a progressive activist and DSA member, defeated the retired Air Force officer by more than 10 percentage points despite Vindman’s $16.3 million campaign war chest, compared with Nixon’s roughly $1 million.

Nixon’s viral moment came in April when she took a bullhorn to a legislative fight , walking down the aisle and disrupting proceedings on the Florida House floor during final passage of a redistricting bill backed by Gov.

Ron DeSantis.

Dressed in a pink jumpsuit and carrying a pink megaphone, Nixon approached the House speaker's dais and shouted to fellow Florida representatives as the final vote was called.

She shouted, "This is a violation of the Constitution! It is!" SOCIALISTS CAPTURE MAJOR FLORIDA VICTORY ON HIT-OR-MISS NIGHT FOR TRUMP-ENDORSED PRIMARY CANDIDATES Nixon continued shouting into the bullhorn for the entirety of the vote.

She insisted, "What y’all are doing is illegal!" and "I will not allow you to destroy our democracy!" As she shouted, several colleagues could be seen filming her on their phones.

The protest did not stop the vote.

While she continued shouting, "You are out of order!" and "This is a violation of the Constitution," the Florida House granted final approval of the redistricting bill in an 83-28 vote.

A month later, WUSF reported that Nixon was arrested after she refused to leave DeSantis’ office while protesting the redistricting measure.

She was released shortly afterward.

WUSF previously reported that Nixon self-identified as a member of the DSA.
