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.

    Yeah no.

    Some random idiot on the Internet saying this is whatever

    Any politician, left or right, saying this is fucking dangerous. I don’t care which side you’re on, don’t.

    Anyone supporting this, try applying the rule where whatever happens, should happen to you. Are you okay with that? Are you okay with being on a detention center? Of detention centers like that are not okay for you, they should also be not okay for your neighbor who is on the other far end spectrum of your political agenda.

    I get wanting to murder racist assholes but if you really really want that, what you really actually want is a civil war where both sides would lose.

    What you want is a functional democracy where schools teach real history and give students real knowledge. Over time, that will root out the dumbass hatred. These stupid comments from politicians will just widen the gap and sow more hatred.
