JD Vance says Angie Nixon 'doesn't belong in America' at Florida rally

politicsOct 2, 202626832

At a Lakeland, Florida Republican rally Vice President JD Vance told Florida state representative and Senate candidate Angie Nixon that she “doesn’t belong in America” and said “get the hell out of here” after criticizing her self-description as a socialist, according to Florida Phoenix and video of the speech. Nixon responded publicly, saying the vice president “came to my home state to tell me to get out of America while he and Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build.” The remark drew swift criticism online, with multiple commentators calling the comment racist. Vance made the comments while urging Republicans to vote in next month’s midterms and acknowledging his party faces an “uphill climb.” Vance has also said he may review midterm results as he decides whether to run for president in 2028, a calculation contextualizing his Florida appearances.

“unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people… tech is an incredible alternative to politics…” JD Vance & Trump-backing billionaire Peter Thiel making it clear tech oligarchs hate democracy👇🏽 When they tell you what they’re doing, believe them

People do not fully comprehend how dangerous the Tech Bros and Christian Conservative coalition is to democracy. Extremely wealthy. Fanatical. Relentless. They will not stop until everyone is at their mercy.

That is why liberals should just change the country - without having to constantly convince Republicans and beg Republicans and plead with Republicans who are never going to agree with us through people powered means...people power is this incredible alternative to politics.

Actions are what convince people, and the body of action from these people so far points to a dominion intent rather than an altruistic one.

“the basic idea was that we could never win an election on getting certain things because we were in such a small minority...” Then your ideas are rejected mother fucker

#USDemocracy #MomSky When JD Vance told @angieforfl.bsky.social to “get out of America,” she clapped back:

Angie for U.S. Senate (@angieforfl) posted “The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to 'get out of America' while he and Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the people who built this country and then telling their descendants they don't belong here. /2” Pictured is Angie Nixon holding a megaphone, wearing magenta, and speaking to a crowd.

I really hope for Floridas sake that @angieforfl.bsky.social mops the floor with Ashley Moody. Angie Nixon would be a great Senator and actually do something to help improve the lives of the people in Florida. She has my vote. #VoteBlue #FlipFloridaBlue

Vance tried to come for Angie Nixon telling her to go back where she came from. Does he remember that his wife is the daughter of Indian immigrants from Andhra Pradesh, India? Can’t escape that fact couch boy! #Pinks

To Americans who intentionally avoid politics and news about it, which is most of America, this may be quite confusing. Why am I hearing about trans people every 11 seconds like I’m Matt Walsh’s therapist? Why is JD Vance being more racist, making this life hell for kids like his own?

14. In any case, Schmitt was wrong, spectacularly wrong. His dream of being JD Vance's vice presidential running mate seemed to go poof on live TV. www.axios.com/2026/09/29/e...

15. Jonathan Bernstein noted today that Schmitt's humiliation stems from the fact that the rightwing media he consumes has made the Republican Party extremely lazy. goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/the-schmit...

Angie Nixon was born in Jacksonville, FL. JD Vance is a straight-up racist.

This is an insane amount of MAGA showing up to stand in line just to see JD Vance. You know they will be standing in line to vote as well. Please don’t sit this one out Democrats. Don’t listen to the polls. This will be a tight race to the finish.

Vice President JD Vance acknowledges that Republicans face an “uphill climb” in next month’s midterm elections — and that the results may be a data point he reviews as he decides whether to run for president in 2028.

lol this is like when financial analysts predict “headwinds” - they already know it’s going to be really bad and saying it out loud will make it worse. How long until the phony polls showing them ahead come out? I remember this pathetic tactic from 2022.

Interestingly Pete Hegseth stupidly said "no beardos." JD Vance came to mind. Notice how Hegseth did not say "no Nazis." He hates transgender persons and embraces Nazis.
