Angie Nixon’s Senate Campaign Scrutinized Over Staffer’s Pro-Hamas Posts
By Drooid · · How we work
Staffer’s Controversial Social-Media History
Fox Digital reported that Sara Mahmoud, who served as Angie Nixon’s social-media manager, posted multiple messages praising Hamas and calling for the death of “Zionists.” Earlier posts from 2016 and 2018 included statements such as “Can Zionists die already?” Mahmoud also labeled Zionism as “a form of white nationalism” in a separate entry.
Campaign Funding and Timeline
Federal Election Commission filings show that Mahmoud received $8,400 in compensation from the Nixon campaign between June and July of the election year. The filings indicate she remained the campaign’s social-media manager at least through June, after which she is no longer listed as staff.
Nixon’s Remarks on CAIR and Policy Platform
Her platform, as outlined in campaign materials, includes calls to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), fund universal health care, and implement universal childcare and pre-kindergarten.
State-Level Reaction
Governor Ron DeSantis previously signed an executive order designating both CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations.
Political Implications
The revelation of Mahmoud’s past posts and Nixon’s remarks about CAIR have drawn criticism from Florida’s Republican leadership and raised questions about the candidate’s alignment with the Democratic Socialists of America. Nixon’s characterization of former President Donald Trump as “basically a communist” further underscores the ideological contrast between her campaign and the state’s current administration. The controversy may influence voter perceptions ahead of the upcoming Senate race.
