𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐱𝐨𝐧 spent last month insisting the attacks on her were fake. “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦, 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦, 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦,” she told CNN. The Washington Free Beacon just laid her own campaign’s paper trail next to that denial. FEC filings reviewed by the outlet show 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐏𝐀𝐂 has poured $35,863 into Nixon’s U.S. Senate campaign — bankrolling canvassers, text-message blasts, and flyers at Florida Atlantic, Florida International, and Broward College. Nearly every expenditure lists Dream Defenders itself as the vendor, meaning the self-described socialist group is cashing its own super PAC’s checks to get her elected. This isn’t a group that merely leans left. Dream Defenders’ own “𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴” manifesto demands the abolition of prisons and police, calls for outlawing billionaires, and brands America’s borders “𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺.” 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐍𝐢𝐱𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐍𝐍 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐞 is the platform bankrolling her path to the Senate. The group’s roots run deeper than domestic politics. Dream Defenders was cofounded by Ahmad Abuznaid, son of a senior Palestinian official, and led mission trips where members met boycott movement founder Omar Barghouti and a man convicted of planting bombs in Israel. In 2016 the group published a school curriculum glorifying the PFLP — a U.S.-designated terrorist organization — telling students the group “𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯” just like Dream Defenders. That’s the 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐬-𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫-𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 spending five figures to put a senator in Washington. Dream Defenders co-executive director Nailah Summers-Polite didn’t exactly deny the fit. “𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘴, 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘴,” Summers-Polite said of Nixon — the same summer Nixon formally joined the Democratic Socialists of America. Nixon can call the label disinformation all she wants. Her own donor’s checkbook already testified against her.
