TX-35: Dems slam Maureen Galindo's (D) latest comments as antisemitic in runoff

Democratic leaders are condemning Texas congressional candidate Maureen Galindo over her latest round of antisemitic comments.

Galindo, who finished first in the Democratic primary for Texas’ 35th Congressional District and is in a runoff election against Bexar County Sheriff’s Deputy Johnny Garcia. Democratic leaders in Washington and Texas have backed Garcia amidst a mysterious six-figure advertising campaign to boost Galindo, a sex therapist and housing advocate.

Last weekend, Galindo said in an Instagram post that she intends to write legislation to “turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking.”

“It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles which will probably be most of the Zionists,” Galindo wrote on Instagram in a carousel accusing Garcia of being “paid by Zionist terrorism and trafficking.”

So no mystery there. Even if I'm wrong she has disqualified herself. Her comments are disgusting. I hope Garcia wins 🤞

and despite its name, the metadata of its website links to Republican fundraising platform WinRed. Galindo's reponse was along the lines of "I don't believe the media. So there..."

My guess: she's little more than a spoiler candidate looking forward to a big payout after siphoning off as many votes as the GOP can elicit.
