Surging Dem with DSA ties is 'either a bona-fide socialist, or she's not very smart': GOP rep

Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon stated she is not a socialist despite her membership in the Democratic Socialists of America. Rep. Carlos Gimenez argued that such denial proves one is either a bona-fide socialist or unwise, pointing to historical patterns where socialists and communists deny their identity until gaining power. Gimenez also warned that movements calling themselves socialist often undermine democracy, citing instances in Venezuela and Nicaragua.
