Kathy Castor’s Candidate Wants Her Opponent in Jail. Is Mike Beltran Next?

October 16, 2026

In a stunning admission on CNN, socialist Angie Nixon said she wants to see her political opponent “locked up and punished in jail” if she’s elected. This comes after Kathy Castor embraced Nixon, bragging Democrats are a “big tent party.”

Now, Castor hasn’t backed away.

Castor actually embraced Nixon and her radical agenda to defund the police, end cash bail, and raise money to keep violent criminals out of jail.

So Tampa voters deserve an answer: does Castor still stand with Nixon? And if Democrats are fine jailing the people who run against them, is Mike Beltran next?

“Radical Democrat Kathy Castor bragged that Angie Nixon proves Democrats are a big tent. Now Nixon wants her opponent in jail. Until Castor backs away, Tampa voters should assume she’s fine with it.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
