Anti-LGBTQ+ Republican claims voting was rigged after losing primary by landslide
"I want to make Texas the WORST place for terrorist muslims, groomers, PDFs [pedophiles], & corrupt politicians to live in so help me God. Let's keep Texas Christian. Charlie Kirk would have voted for me."
"That's the only way they can win: by cheating, because nobody in good conscience wants to vote for an 84-year-old dude."
Valentina Gomez, a Republican candidate known for anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, lost her congressional primary in Texas to 84-year-old incumbent John Carter by a substantial margin, receiving only 5.6% of the vote compared to Carter's 57.97%. Gomez's campaign focused on attacking Carter's health and criticizing his record on mosque construction. Following her defeat, she claimed the election was rigged, alleging the Republican Party stole the election by not printing her name on ballots. On election day, Gomez posted inflammatory statements on social media targeting Muslims, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others, while speculating that late MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk would have voted for her despite not residing in Texas.
