Multiple reliable sources establish that Nixon is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and is described as a democratic socialist, which supports part of the claim. No source establishes that she is a communist, and she repeatedly denies being either a socialist or a communist, so the 'communist' element is unsupported and contested.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… I, you know, attend a church where the pastor of the church is not afraid of calling out the destructive effects of socialism on faith at all. But why, why do Marxists and socialists that have infected this Democrat Party, who are on the ballot right now, including a devout socialist communist in the state of Florida, in Democrat communist Angie Nixon, why do they hate the church so much? Why, why do they hate the truth so much that there are men and women, XY? Why, why do they, why do they the answer is, ladies and gentlemen, it's competition for them. It is as simple as that. …
The Dan Bongino Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Nixon publicly rejects both labels, stating 'I am not a communist, I am not a socialist' and that she joined the DSA to expand her coalition, which cuts against the claim that she is a socialist communist.[3][4][5][6]
Supports. The AP and Politico describe Nixon as a democratic socialist and DSA member, and Politifact confirms she joined the DSA in June while saying she does not support all of its policies.[1][2][3][7]
Context. Politifact rated the Republican attack linking Nixon to extreme DSA policies as misleading, and no authoritative source reports that she holds communist views or calls herself a communist. The 'communist' label comes from critics and partisan outlets, so it is an unverified characterization rather than a documented fact.[2][8][9]
