MAGA Candidate Torches the Quran in Deranged Flamethrower Ad

[question everything]

Source: Daily Beast

A far-right MAGA congressional hopeful has posted an unhinged campaign ad in which she sets fire to the Quran with a flamethrower.

Valentina Gomez, a Republican running for Texas’ 31st District in 2026, shared the extreme video on social media as part of her vow to “end Islam” in the Lone Star State, which has a Muslim population of roughly 1 percent. Gomez has a history of creating violent stunts and using hateful rhetoric, but she also hopes to make it onto the national stage via a district that voted 61 percent for Trump in 2024.

“Your daughters will be raped and your sons beheaded, unless we stop Islam once and for all,” Gomez said before torching a copy of the holy book. “America is a Christian nation, so those terrorist Muslims can f--- off to any of the 57 Muslim nations. There is only one true God, and that is the God of Israel.”. Gomez’s campaign ad dripped with violent rhetoric and hatred, and ended with a message declaring that she is “powered by Jesus Christ.”

The Republican was swiftly condemned after uploading the Quran-burning stunt online.

1. sanctimonious asshole spreading hatred

disgusting

[Bettie]

2. Sounds like she seriously needs some

help with her mental health.

Because that is, in a word: unhinged.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

3. This lady is a crazy bigot

[moonshinegnomie]

4. she ran for office in missouri and got steamrolled

she finished 6th and got less than 10% of the vote

shes trying to appeal to the ultra far right but i dont thing she has any actual chance in hell of winning in the district shes running in

[Ponietz]

5. Muslim fundamentalists will pursue her for the rest of her life

[Norrrm]

6. Even if you believe in multiple Gods, the Quran has many of the 'Christian' God's words in it.

[slightlv]

8. That's because Islam is one of the three religions of the middle eastern monotheistic god.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam ALL are "people of the Book." Each has its own slant or interpretation, no doubt... but the people and most of the events are all the same.

[HeartsCanHope]

14. Jesus is considered an important prophet by Islam if I remember my World Religion class from College correctly.

I think he is even called the Messiah in the Quran.

7. Wait until miller/gnome deport her

[BaronChocula]

9. What inspires a Latina immigrant from Colombia

to run as a white supremacist?
There is actually a social media personality (I can't recall his name) who talks about Latino trumpers and their failed attempts to be near whiteness. Except the whiteness they want to be near is the ugly kind. Sad.

10. She's from Texas. The incubator of some of the worst people In the world

Is it the heat…?

[Talitha]

11. That was a pretty dangerous stunt she pulled.

She'd better have eyes in the back of her head.

12. The God of Israel is also the God of Islam ...

If you don't know religious history, Abraham has 2 sons, Isaac & Ishmael

Isaac is one of the three patriarchs of the Israelites and an important figure in the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism, Samaritanism, Christianity, Islam.

Ishmael is regarded as a prophet within Islam and the ancestor of the Ishmaelite.

All the religions from the Middle-East go through Abraham, the same GOD.

[LudwigPastorius]

13. Yes, all 3 religions worship the God of Abraham.

...and boy is she pissing Him off. (and almost 2 billion Muslims)

[Aristus]

15. Did she screech:

“I’M A GOD WARRIOR!!!”?

That seems to be popular with the performatively crazy Jesus whack jobs.

[not fooled]

16. Coach D has a great take on this idiocy

THE MORE MAGA DOESN’T ACCEPT HER, THE MORE VILE HER STUNTS GET!

[Crowman2009]

17. She's stuck in 2001.

Back when islamophobia was all the rage.

18. This makes Charlie Hebdo incident look tame by comparison.
