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
No I’m not doing that. You should work on your own reading comprehension
Putting “zionists” (a loosely defined term often used with widely varying levels of precision) in the concentration camps that were built for immigrants is not comparable to invading Nazi Germany to depose Hitler and then holding the high-level officials accountable at international criminal trials. It’s more comparable to sweeping up anyone remotely associated with the Nazi party and putting them all in Auschwitz.
So no, you’re the one whose reading comprehension needs remediation.
"The left calls everyone Nazis these days!
What was said was “If it’s wrong for them to do it to us, it’s wrong for us to do it to them.” So yes, it is comparable, because the principle applies in both cases.
And then presumably releasing them because imprisoning them would be wrong!
Which should have been done, it may have prevented Germany from being the genocidal terror state it is today.
I read what was written, “reading comprehension” doesn’t mean reading your mind.
What is even your point? Fascists are fascist, and they suck. Netanyahu is a fascist zionist and he sucks. But we’ve all seen people throw around the term “zionist” like it means nothing, using it as a strawman to attack people based on a misrepresentation of what they’re saying.
It’s often used as a thought-stopper, no matter how deeply you bury your head in the sand.
Yes, exactly. Extrajudicial concentration camps are wrong. So why are you advocating for using them against anyone, evil or not? There are legal means of holding people accountable. Why don’t you focus on those instead?
So there you go conflating international legal proceedings with concentration camps; the exact thing you denied doing in your last comment. It’s like this whole conversation is going over your head.
You are not a serious person. At least, you’re not worth taking seriously.
Never asked you to read anyone’s mind, but since you’ve already made it clear you aren’t capable of comprehending this conversation, I’m done here.
What do you think it is? You’re the one going on the attack about “reading comprehension”, let’s see you see comprehend my extremely obvious point.
Yep, and the and can be said of the term “Nazi”. Guess we can’t condemn Nazis either 🤷 .
No one said anything about extrajudicial. Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension.
Go back to reddit.
No seriously, go back to reddit. Your Nazi apologia will go over better there.
Fucking terminal redditor, my fucking God
Your point seems to be okay to use concentration camps as a tool for retribution. If you think I’m “going on the attack” then you’re really fucking sensitive. And I’m not the first one to bring up reading comprehension in this thread. If you don’t want people to point out your inability to extract meaning from text, then how about you stop wildly misinterpreting and misrepresenting the points people are making.
I never said you can’t condemn nazis or zionists. I said you can’t put people in concentration camps based on a widely misapplied label.
Try them for war crimes and crimes against humanity, sentence them to life in prison or even death. But do so legally via the courts, or else you’re just as evil as the one’s you “condemn.”
So, you’re insinuating that you want to put people in concentration camps… judicially…?
You do realize that at least in the US, the constitution prevents against the courts ordering cruel and unusual punishments, which includes concentration camps and castration?
That’s not to say the courts have never been misused or abused by those in power. But that doesn’t make it right, so my point stands.
And the fact that I had to spell out all that subtext for you means your reading comprehension is lacking.
You’re not very creative.
You’re the one arguing for putting people in concentration camps, jackass. I’m only saying “that’s wrong.”
I never said nazis are good or shouldn’t be punished. I said they should be done so legally, judicially, with due process. And the fact that you don’t understand the difference is simply pathetic.
I haven’t used reddit in months, get a better comeback.
Nope. Sounds like you should work on your own reading comprehension, rather than just regurgitating endless over written reddit prose about mine.
“I didn’t say X, I just said X!”
You said we can’t condemn Zionists because the label is “widely misapplied” (it isn’t, by the way, but that’s neither here nor there)
Yes, this is what we were always talking about. Once again, work on your own fucking reading comprehension.
Guess every Nazi captured in WW2 was just let go then…
Go back to reddit.
Dipshit, you literally said that my belief that Nazis should have been punished means I’m “not a serious person. At least, you’re not worth taking seriously.” A person who says that people who think Nazis should have been punished is not worth taking seriously is a Nazi apologist.
Stop typing like the prototypical reddit dork
You’re insufferable. Why are you so fixated on reddit? That’s so weird. It lives rent-free in your head, doesn’t it? Is the reddit in the room with us now?
And the rest of your comment is just you doing the same thing you’ve been doing this whole conversation: conflating extrajudicial concentration camps with holding people criminally accountable via the courts, while simultaneously denying that you’re doing this and pretending that’s an issue with my comprehension.
Since you apparently can’t see the difference between those things, this conversation isn’t even worth carrying on. You just keep misrepresenting everything being said to retrofit to whatever you think is convenient at the time.
For anyone else on this thread who’s actually sane, I’ll recap:
Holding people legally accountable for crimes against humanity: good!
Repurposing concentration camps to punish people based on a vaguely defined label: not good.
If you think that means I’m saying nazis shouldn’t be punished, then you’re not a serious person.
Jesus Christ, just robotically going down the list of reddit shit heal cliches.
Nobody said anything about extrajudicial before you. Work on your own fucking reading comprehension.
You’ve said this like 3 times now. Shut the fuck up
