In a video posted on X, Gomez simulated shooting a migrant, presenting it as her proposed solution for those who commit severe crimes against Americans.
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.
(Personally, I'd propose tackling the conditions that force crimes, particularly those of desperation, as well as reevaluating the catalogue of what really counts as crimes, particularly if there's no victim, but on here, I'd be preaching to the choir.)
She not only thinks this, but took the time to plan this out. At no point while thinking about shooting immigrants, or building a dummy to represent an immigrant, or taping its arms and legs, or putting it in a chair, or loading the gun, or setting up a tripod to film it, or pulling the trigger, or loading it to a computer to edit it, or uploading it, did she think maybe this is a bit much.
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.
I wonder what would happen to someone who did a video like that except with a dummy of a CEO? I suspect the reaction would be huge amounts of screaming, condemnation, and an arrest for promoting terrorism. But this video? it's juuuust fine. Nothing will happen to her, probably not even having her video taken down.
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?
Exodus 20:13. I know they don’t care about their own book, but it’s terrible how far so many people have drifted from our sacred connections between humans, whatever that means to you. Killing one another cannot solve our problems.
Everyone might remember Juan Carlos Hitler Gomez Dela Paz Y Pavon Vergozo el pequeño. He was doing pretty good in Germany but then one day things turned dark and we all know what happened. Valentina beware right?
