A man with a bag over his head sits tied to a chair in a field. Without so much as a glance in his direction, an aspiring Texas congresswoman puts a handgun to the back of his head and pulls the trigger. Under a plume of gunsmoke, his head falls forward.
The moment opens a campaign video in which Republican Valentina Gomez calls for publicly executing "any illegal that rapes or kills an American." She posted the video to X on Monday, and it racked up almost 5 million views in under 24 hours.
After moving from Jersey City for an ultimately unsuccessful run for Missouri secretary of state this year, Gomez is gunning for fellow Republican Dan Crenshaw's seat in Congress and she's sparking public outrage.
"It's that simple," Gomez says after murdering her captive in the video. "Public executions for any illegal that rapes or kills an American. They don't deserve to be deported, they deserve to be ended."

WTF is going on with this crazy world???? She's even too violent for Musk!
Gomez is from Colombia. So, she's an immigrant herself. I wonder if she grew up with cartel violence, because this shit is eff'ing OTT

(30,610 posts)He was with the mayor's office in Jersey City. Political staffers are generally "at will" employees. The mayor cannot have an LGBT outreach staffer who is donating to a openly homophobic candidate. Discussion is in the article:
A bigot lost her election and her brother lost his job. Im not shedding any tears.

But labor attorney Nancy Erika Smith said free speech concerns are not at play for some political appointees. Policy-making employees hired by an elected official can be fired if their views dont align with the officials administration, Smith said. Thats why you see new governors enter office and fire their predecessors aides without wrongful termination lawsuits.
The election referred to was another election in another state.
She is now gonna run for congress against Dan Crenshaw (R) in Texas.

(877 posts)there is something wrong with her quoting the sermon on the mount and seeing her privileged self as "prosecuted."
i'm really certain that "what would jesus do" does not include execution style killing.

(30,610 posts)Definitely worth reading about and definitely deranged. We've seen anti-immigrant stances from Latinas, but non have threatened public executions.
The video is on twitter and I know many can't see it. (Especially since twitter blocked the embed due to the violence)
I searched for the video on other sites and the only site you can see the video with out accessing twitter is the Daily Mail
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14224367/glamorous-maga-candidate-valentina-gomez-video-migrant-execution.html
However, I did find a tweet of her video where the embed isn't locked. (However, twitter may also lock this one down the road)

(1,427 posts)Learn all about congresswoman Valentina Gomez. Yep. Then...Find a lady with exactly the opposite personality.
Marry her. You can't go wrong. You're welcome. (Oh..or male)

(30,610 posts)Still...she wants revenge against people like the guy who burned the lady in the subway. I don't know her mindset. In countries like Colombia and Mexico, there is likely more vigilantism since law enforcement is not as reliable as here. That's about all I can think of. I did look up vigilantism in Colombia and it is more common there than in the US.
Terrorism and vigilantism are not the same thing. I get the impression she thinks vigilantism is OK. Her brother got fired from a job because she was burning books as a political stunt. He worked for an elected official in New Jersey. This is from a previous failed election in Missouri. Now she's moving in on Texas: https://newjerseymonitor.com/2024/08/07/valentina-gomez-lost-her-election-and-her-brother-lost-his-job-im-not-shedding-any-tears/

(30,610 posts)Well there were several of them.
But this is taking it to a new level.

(30,610 posts)She isn't running in the valley or South Texas.
She's running in NE suburban Harris County and Montgomery County. (Conroe area) The area has demographics similar to Mike McCaul's (R) district.

(4,609 posts)She was running for something in MO this year I think. Texas may be more accommodating to crazy.
Certifiably nuts this person.
LeftInTX
(30,610 posts)I don't think she will do well in the primary given the demographics of the district. If it was South Texas she would have a chance.

(3,741 posts)Lufkin is in eastern Texas and not too far south of Tyler and the District Louie Gohmert represented, so it can get crazy and, apparently, it has.
