Wrong and disrespectful! Angie Nixon goes off on racism in Democratic Party after midterm loss
Angie Nixon gave an emotional and tearful interview to Don Lemon, going off on “racism” in the Democratic Party and elsewhere following her midterm election loss to Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL).
On The Don Lemon Show on Tuesday, Nixon fought back tears as she revealed the emotional rollercoaster that was her campaign, which included nearly losing a family member to suicide.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member urged Democrats not to “squander” their new majorities in Congress and to hold President Donald Trump “accountable.”
“People are going to die if we don’t hold Donald Trump accountable, if we don’t for healthcare. People are going to die if we don’t push to increase the living wage,” she said.
Nixon said she’s unsure about running again and she called out Democrats for not organizing enough around candidates Mississippi Senate candidate Scott Colom, who is leading in his race though it has yet to be called, and Louisiana Senate candidate Jamie Davis, who lost his race to Republican Julia Letlow.
Nixon said:
It is so wrong and disrespectful for people to not invest in Black leadership… I’m just gonna say it, there were no Black flip seats on the Senate side. Like none. If Scott Colom could have gotten a million more dollars early on, we would not be waiting on him to, quote, unquote, win. We knew he’s gona win. If Jamie Davis got $500 to $1 million like in September, he would have won outright. I think people want out labor. I think people want out labor. They don’t want our leadership and we need to have a real, long, hard conversation about how we show up, how we continue time after time after time show up for the party and they don’t show up for our leadership. I even think about…people are saying that I statewide, I came in last as far as statewide, but that is because, you know, there’s racism within the Republican Party and there’s racism within the Democratic Party. And the people that I brought into the Democratic Party to vote in the midterms, they voted up and down the ballot.
Nixon insisted she drove up turnout for Democrats across the ticket despite her ultimate election loss.
She had discussed during her campaign an alleged hesitance for the Democratic Party to give her money over their view that Florida is “racist.”
“They think that the state is racist and they’re just hesitant to donate because of it,” she told CNN.
