After calling for Zionists to be placed in a “prison” and a “castration processing center,” a Democrat front-runner for a Texas Congressional District is attempting to defend her incendiary comments days before a primary.
The Instagram account of Maureen Galindo, a sex therapist heading into the Democrat runoff primary in the redrawn 35th Congressional District, said in a post last week that “She’ll turn Karnes ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking. (It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles which will probably be most of the Zionists).”
Zionism is an ideology centered on the belief that the Jewish people have a right to a homeland in Israel.
The account also said Galindo’s Democrat opponent, Johnny Garcia, is “IS BEING PAID TO PUT JEWS AND MEXICANS IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS VIA ZIONIST TRAFFICKING NETWORKS.”
Asked by the Daily Signal for a response to this claim, Garcia’s campaign responded with the statement, “He’s not.”
Galindo won the first round of the primary with over 29% of the vote. Having failed to receive a majority of the vote, however, she is advancing to the runoff against Garcia.

Democrats moved to distance themselves from Galindo in reaction to the post.
“This is absolutely disgusting. This bigoted garbage and antisemitism should be nowhere near our politics,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., posted Tuesday on X, before endorsing Garcia.
Ocasio-Cortez additionally alleged Republicans were helping fund Galindo.
Texas state Rep. James Talarico, the Democrat nominee in the Lone Star State’s Senate race, also denounced Galindo.
“This antisemitic rhetoric has no place in our politics. We need leadership in both parties willing to stand up and call out hate wherever it rears its ugly head,” Talarico told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
On Texas Public Radio, Galindo denied the charges of antisemitism, claiming she only opposes Jews who are Zionist.
“I’m against Zionist Jews,” she said. “When I said that the Jews who own Hollywood are doing this, do all Jews own Hollywood? No. The Zionist Jews do. The Zionist Jews own our media, our banks, and all of our politicians.”
Galindo’s campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment.
