Breitbart News, The Daily Wire, the New York Post, Fox News and Townhall report that Angie Nixon, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Florida, said on CNN that her Republican opponent, incumbent Sen. Ashley Moody, should be “locked up and punished in jail for what she has done.” The outlets say Nixon made the remark while answering claims that she wants to abolish prisons and defund the police, which she rejected. The outlets also quote Nixon accusing Moody of taking $10 million from sick kids meant for the Medicaid program, a claim she tied to the Hope Florida Foundation controversy.
