Where this statement fits
JD Vance tells Angie Nixon to 'get the hell out of here' over her socialist label; Nixon says Florida is her home
At a campaign rally in Lakeland, Florida, on October 1, 2026, Vice President JD Vance said that when Angie Nixon, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Florida, calls herself a socialist, the right response is to say 'then get the hell out of here. You don't belong in America, if those are your views.' Nixon answered on X that Florida is her home and that her ancestors built the country. Rep. Ro Khanna wrote that Vance had told a Black woman descended from enslaved people to leave America, and Richard Grenell replied that Khanna's 'Victim Culture' should get out too.

Why this label?
The case concerns Vance's statement at the Lakeland rally that Nixon should 'get the hell out of here' and does not belong in America if she calls herself a socialist. Nixon rejects the remark and criticizes Vance for telling the descendants of the people who built the country that they don't belong, which condemns it.
