MAGA congressional candidate posts ‘migrant execution’ video online.

Valentina Gomez, a MAGA congressional candidate in Texas posted a video on social media suggesting undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes should be publicly executed.

Gomez’s post appears to be response to the arrest of Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, a 33-year-old Guatemalan immigrant who was charged with murder after a woman was set on fire and killed on the subway.

In the video Gomez shoots a dummy, representing an undocumented migrant, tied to a chair in the back of the head.

“It’s that simple, public executions for any illegal that rapes or kills an American,” she said after shooting the dummy. “They don’t deserve deportation, they deserve to be ended.”

The post was so disturbing that even Elon Musk’s X limited visibility on the video, citing its rules against violent speech.

“My video being restricted & my account getting suspended shows all of you that I am the biggest threat to the establishment because I call it like I see it, I give people hope, and I don’t need their money,” Gomez wrote. “Remember, nobody is coming to save us. Stay strapped.”

Below the post she added video of the incident earlier this month on the subway in New York.

Gomez is no stranger to controversy. During her campaign for Missouri Secretary of State this year, she repeatedly made national headlines for her far-right views and publicity stunts such as using a flamethrower to burn LGBTQ+ themed books.

In another video she filmed herself jogging through a St Louis neighborhood in a bulletproof vest, telling voters “Don’t be weak and gay. Stay hard.” Gomez also called Juneteenth—the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S.—”the most ratchet holiday in America” and told Black Americans to “get the fuck out of the country” if they don’t like it.

Gomez finished sixth in the field out of eight candidates, receiving 7.4% of the vote.

Gomez now has her sights set on a congressional seat in Texas. The controversial MAGA activist has said she will primary Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw.

“I’m running for Congress in Texas and I’m taking down a RINO and a dinosaur once and for all, because Congress is full of crooks like Speaker [Mike] Johnson, who is just a little man with no balls that funds Ukraine and betrays the American people every chance he gets,” said Gomez in a video posted to X last week.

“And Dan Crenshaw, who is only good at betraying his fellow Navy SEALs,” she said.
