Florida Dem Who Suffered a Meltdown When New Maps Were Passed Has Been Arrested
Stupid Showboat Democrat
Florida Democratic Rep. Angie Nixon is struggling
to cope with the new congressional maps. She pulled out a bullhorn when
the new districts were approved
last month. Even in mid-May, she’s still upset, staging a sit-in at
Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office.
Yes, it was about the maps. And yes, the
governor didn’t tolerate it. She was arrested over this stunt (via WESH 2):
A
Florida state representative said Friday that she was arrested in the
state's capitol during a sit-in protest at Gov. Ron DeSantis' office
against what she called illegal congressional maps.
Rep. Angie Nixon, D-Jacksonville, announced her arrest that evening via a news release.
"My
commitment has always been to the people of my district and to the
Constitution I swore to uphold, not to any political party or agenda,"
Nixon said in a statement. "I will continue to honor that commitment by
fighting against injustice, defending our democracy, and demanding
action on the issues that matter most to the people we serve."
When
WESH 2 News asked the governor's office for comment, it replied with
two screenshots of X posts that Gov. DeSantis had since made to his
profile.
In one of the screenshots, DeSantis quoted an X post made by his chief of staff, Jason Weida.
Weida
wrote, "Reprimanded and now arrested," while DeSantis replied,
"Deservedly so. Our office isn't a platform for this performative
nonsense."
In case you forgot, this is Nixon when the maps were passed:
