A Republican candidate for US Congress interrupted a Muslim community day at the Texas Capitol building, shouting deeply offensive Islamophobic hate speech from a podium. Valentina Gomez infiltrated the event by wearing a hijab, which she removed before yelling racist tropes.

“This is a Christian nation”

Now I’m not American so I’m willing to be corrected here, but I’m pretty damn certain it’s supposed to be a secular nation…

Christian here, yes.

Yes it is.

Religion has no place in government.

Valentina Gomez

Must be one of those hispanics that’s loyal to the republican party because they’re christian.

Sad.

Looking at some pictures of her, she has the fakest smile in existence. This is a clear example of someone who has dug their hole so deep, they can’t do anything else but dig further.

Keep an eye on this one. She might be scoffed at now, but her overzealous commitment to ‘the cause’ will likely give her a prominent position in a future administration.

I remember her platform was like 75% slurs by volume—against trans people, black people, Muslims, other Mexicans, all kinds of people. She was too much even for the fascists and lost her primary by a goddamn mile. Yet she’s still out there being weird and hateful.
