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.
Luckily she’s never been elected to anything so far.
She’s a Colombian immigrant herself apparently and still has the accent so I’m not sure the racist crowd she’s appealing to with this message is going to rally behind her as opposed to whatever other Republican is running.
She was wealthy enough to get elected. She’ll likely just be able to skate on out once someone realizes that she’s on The List.
That’s what some Jews thought too…
