In addition to a more traditional recap of Tuesday’s primary election results, Wednesday’s CBS Mornings went hard in the paint after socialism (read: communists) with tough questions for Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro about where he stands in this fight and then an entire interview of hardballs for socialist State Representative Angie Nixon, the upset winner of Florida’s Democratic senatorial primary.
It was tough from the get-go as featured co-host Vladimir Duthiers first praised her for how she was able to win despite being dramatically outspent and having a near-zero chance in prediction markets, but pivoted because her far-left views now have to translate in a general election:
[R]egistered Republicans, they outnumber Democrats by 1.5 million in Florida. I just want to go through a couple of issues you’ve been campaigning on. You want Medicare for all, and free universal child care, and pre-k. How are you suggesting taxpayers pay for that?
Nixon struggled to answer, insisting “we’re already spending the amount we would be paying for Medicare for All right now, even while folks are still paying for co-pays and deductibles and co-insurance” and that salaries for childcare workers would be reinvested into the economy.
Duthiers snuffed out hr filibuster: “So, representative, how would you pay for that?”
Nixon replied she would simply “repeal that Big BS Bill because…[i]t wasn’t beautiful, and I would make sure that these big-time billionaires, the ultra-wealthy millionaires, pay what they owe.”
Seeing how she continued to duck, Duthiers used Nixon’s non-answer against her: “[Y]ou want a billionaire tax, you want a national rent freeze. Which of these policies are you prepared to tell moderate voters and perhaps even some Republicans who may be intrigued by this that this should become federal law, and how do you convince them that the cost will be worth it?”
The socialist insisted she’s had “conversations with” voters, which are “resonating” because Washington, D.C. is “broken and people like unelected Ashley Moody and Donald Trump are working less and less and less and meanwhile getting richer.”
