Summary
Angie Nixon said drag shows are “wholesome entertainment” for children and that she has taken her own kids to them, rejecting efforts to restrict minors’ access.
On the “Legal AF” podcast, Nixon framed Florida’s drag-show limits as an attack on marginalized communities after a discussion that referenced a recent appeals-court ruling.
Critics including Gays Against Groomers founder Jaimee Michell and former Trump official Theo Wold said Nixon was misrepresenting drag performances and argued many are sexualized adult entertainment.
The remarks land as Nixon, a Democratic Socialist who beat Alexander Vindman by more than 10 points despite his $16.3 million to her roughly $1 million, heads into a November race against Sen. Ashley Moody.
