News · Heat 3.4 / 10 · 2 shows · 7m airtime

In an October 2026 clip, Florida Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon said she has never been to Cuba and would have to take people's word that it is a dictatorship, declining to pass judgment. The hosts argue the answer lands badly in Miami's anti-communist Cuban community and tie it to her DSA membership. Nixon has not addressed the criticism.
