Summary
Texas Republican Valentina Gomez sparked outrage after releasing a video proposing public executions of undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes, claiming it would act as a deterrent.
The video, shared on X, simulated Gomez shooting a hooded dummy representing an undocumented migrant.
Her comments followed the arrest of a Guatemalan immigrant for a subway murder in New York.
Known for far-right provocations, Gomez’s remarks drew sharp criticism from political figures and activists, with some praising her stance while others condemned it as hateful and extreme.
Texas? Everything I could find says Missouri. Is there more than one crazy Republican politician named Valentina Gomez, or did she move to Texas after losing in Missouri?

I believe I had read that after losing in Missouri she decided to try in Texas.
a quick search confirms this.
huff post for example.
I’m sure there’s plenty of other republicans saying this, just not quite so… publicly…
