House candidate Maureen Galindo pledges to send ‘American zionists’ to internment camp
Controversy-tarred congressional candidate Maureen Galindo this week pledged to transform a site south of San Antonio now used by the Trump administration to detain migrants into an internment camp for “American Zionists.”
“She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend, referring to herself in the third person. “It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.”
Galindo’s latest set of inflammatory remarks comes as the Democratic hopeful for Texas’ newly redrawn 35th Congressional District continues to draw national attention for remarks critics have called antisemitic and untethered from reality. The controversy is snowballing as she heads into the May 26 Democratic primary runoff.
Over the past week, Galindo has accused her runoff opponent — former Bexar County Public Information Officer Johnny Garcia — of participating in a human trafficking conspiracy orchestrated by billionaire zionist Jews. She also pledged during a Texas Public Radio interview to put Garcia on trial for treason.
Beyond her attacks on Garcia, Galindo has continued to promote the narrative that a cabal of Jewish zionists controls Hollywood, the media and even local politicians.
Even so, in comments to the Current and other media outlets, Galindo maintained she only has an issue with zionists, or those advocating for the existence of a Jewish state in their ancestral homeland, rather than Jews in general.
“I think it’s actually the zionists who are putting Jewish people at the most risk,” Galindo told the Current last week.
AOC has denouced her
i think the article (as described) does somewhat point to antisemitism (as well as pedo punishment part, if not a rhetoric turn, usually points to rightwinger as well). lmaocia is disgraceful as usual (what is precisely the functional difference between (say genuine) anti-semite and zionist cop?)
Zionists do, in fact, control mainstream media, Hollywood, and politicians. Alas
imperialists control those, which zionism is one of the many forms of. is there a billionnaire railing against idk, saudis? maybe one party state of japan? is there a corporation with a lifegoal of subjugating brazil? maybe msm with pure hatred of canada?
Its hard to say if we dont have her non edited comments, she is definetely edgy with the castration part
The full statement is "castrating pedophiles, which includes most zionists." Castration as punishment for sex offenses is legal in Texas and a few other states.
