As Sam reported on Friday, Democratic Socialist Angie Nixon, who is the Democrats' Senate nominee after marching up and down the aisles of the Florida House and shouting into her pink bullhorn to disrupt the vote on Gov. Ron DeSantis' new congressional map, took great offense after Vice President JD Vance told her to get out of the country. "Now JD Vance says I don’t belong and should leave the very country my ancestors helped build," she posted. "This is a lot y’all. It is."
What did Vance actually say? He said, "When Angie Nixon calls herself a socialist, I think the right response is to say, ‘Then get the hell out of here. You don’t belong in America,'" adding that she's a "self-professed socialist who somehow owns two homes."
Taking great offense on her behalf was Rep. Ro Khanna, who can't believe even Vance would go so low as to tell a descendant of slaves to leave America. Did Khanna actually listen to the clip, or just go with Aaron Rupar's excerpt?
Telling a Black woman who is a descendant of enslaved people to leave America, @JDVance.

I do not know what to say.
Even I didn't believe you would go this low. https://t.co/DxHWXeTCPF
Wow, Khanna doesn't know what to say.
People who hate America should leave America.

You know this was the message, Ro, yet you feebly tried to turn it into a race thing.
You are a despicable, lying race hustler, just like the rest of your Communist party.
Vance is talking about her politics. Why TF are you bringing her race into the argument? You're the racist one.

What? Is having been descended from a slave a magical shield from criticism? Should all of southern Europe get the same magical shield, having been descended from the slaves of Islam?

I don’t care who your ancestors were. If you hate America you can fuck right off.

You're right: Democratic Socialists should be deported regardless of their ethnicity or citizenship status.

Fuck her. Why do I care who she's "descended from"? You don't care who I'm descended from. Eat shit.

It's always about color right, Ro? That's all you've got you empty shell of a man.

You’re not part of this conversation.

News flash. . . we're ALL likely descendants of enslaved people. It's not a culturally unique historical phenomenon.

Here's a fun fact, it's estimated there's over 11 million people enslaved in India today.
He didn’t say it because of her skin color you moron, he said it because she hates America. Anyone who wants to upend our foundation and what made this country great can get the hell out of here.

He didn’t tell her to leave because she’s black, he told her to leave because she’s a socialist who hates America.
— Indy Cat 2000 (@TheFinalBot1) October 2, 2026
I don’t think he mentioned her race, but you did.
— Mark Walker (@markwalker5555) October 2, 2026
Read the replies here Ro, this didn’t land the way you hoped it would.
— Wendy Kortepeter (@WKortepeter) October 2, 2026
Once again, a cry of racism over a statement with literally no mention of race.
— O'Toole (@TooleNTrash) October 2, 2026
Pathetic as always @RoKhanna
Because of her self-described socialism, arguing it contradicts American values and is unpopular with voters like South Florida Hispanics - it’s called ideological opposition.

Did you even graduate from high school?
A “Black woman who is a descendant of enslaved people” can have shitty politics.
— Brownie (@just_in_brown) October 2, 2026
This is hard to understand for pandering bigots like you who only view the world through the lens of race.
Oh, you’ve been lower Faux Khanna. Remember when you pretended to be arrested by the IDF? Or endorsed the Nazi tattoo guy? You are the king of the shameless political stunt!
— Dan (@stanrlong) October 2, 2026
She doesn't appreciate America, does she? So, why doesn't she leave? We like America. We don't want people like Nixon trying to destroy it. She should leave now and find a new country to destroy. You, too, Ro.
— Quaran-Tina (@superbucks2050) October 2, 2026
You're making this about identity politics.
— Rugged Individual 77 (@SaltedNuts77) October 2, 2026
Remind us again how privileged you are compared to the average real American, Ro.
Hopefully, Khanna is recuperating on the fainting couch in his mansion after hearing the vice president go so low.
