A DSA-backed Senate candidate, Angie Nixon, is tied in reporting to posts by a paid staffer that praise Hamas and use violent language toward “Zionists.” Fox News and Breitbart both report that the staffer—identified by Fox News as Sara Mahmoud—wrote or commented that Hamas were “freedom fighters,” and also made statements wishing death for “Zionists.”

The outlets describe how Mahmoud’s social media content surfaced after she was hired to manage social media for Nixon’s campaign. While both accounts focus on the staffer’s remarks and the fact that she was paid, the coverage differs in tone and framing. The reports center on the controversy around the campaign’s staff and whether the candidate’s operation allowed such views to be represented through campaign employment.

The available sources provide the staffer identification and the reported quotations, but they do not, in these excerpts, include Nixon’s or the DSA’s detailed response or corroborating evidence beyond the published social media posts.
