What should democrats, elected and the base, do about Maureen Galindo?
For those who don't know, the Democratic Primary for the Texas 35th went to a runoff. Maureen Galindo is running against Johnny Garcia and got 29% of the votes while Garcia had 27%.
Maureen Galindo has made wildly crazy and antisemitic comments including:
>“She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo’s campaign Instagram account said. It added: “(It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists).”
Multiple democrats have rebuked her and are accusing a Republican PAC of boosting her with credible evidence that is the case. AOC is asking people to vote for her opponent, Josh Gottheimer says he would vote to expel her if she won, Talarico has stated he won't campaign with her and that her statements are antisemitic, etc.
This is an extreme example of boosting a bad candidate and finding a nut and showing it to voters as a symbol of the left.
Is there an opportunity for democrats to be louder about disowning her that could help democrats? If you have a democratic representative or senator do you want them to publicly disavow her and endorse Johnny Garcia?
