In reply to the discussion: Accusing party of antisemitism, Pa. Supreme Court Justice David Wecht leaves Democratic Party that elected him [View all]LeftInTX
(34,819 posts)24. There are Democrats who are spilling over into anti-Jewish speech.
One candidate is using "synagogue of Satan" in her speeches and is spilling conspiracy theories. I hope she doesn't win her primary. But suddenly, she's got big money behind her. The money is Republican money.
There is also the infiltration by the Party of Liberation and Socialism. This Democrat has been affiliated with them. Re
Republican money was known to infiliatrate the Party of Socialism and Liberation. Which defeated Kamala.
Shes a Sex Therapist Who Wants to Eradicate Zionism. She Could Cost Democrats a House Seat.
In a Facebook video from last fall, Maureen Galindo, a sex therapist and housing activist running for Congress as a Democrat in Texas, warned about the Jews working with Christian Zionists trying to bring about the Rapture. Speaking of the movie version of the Christian End Times thriller Left Behind, she said, All of the Jews who own Hollywood, they use books and movies to create realities. She urged her viewers to turn toward the authentic, radical Jesus, who was fighting this church of Satan 2,000 years ago that still exists.
Online, Galindo combines progressive populism, vaguely New Age therapeutic jargon and a conspiratorial mind-set; she seems like the left-wing version of the wellness influencers who turned to QAnon during the pandemic. In March she shocked local politicos by finishing first in a four-way primary in a new congressional district in southeastern San Antonio, seemingly buoyed by the anti-establishment fury motivating Democrats nationwide. This month shell face Johnny Garcia, a moderate sheriffs deputy backed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, in a runoff. I was shown an internal poll conducted in April by a group supporting Garcia that had her ahead.
In the final weeks of the campaign, Galindo is getting some unexpected help. A shadowy new PAC called Lead Left spent $43,000 on mailers promising that Galindo would dismantle Immigration and Customs Enforcement, create public health care options for all and have President Trump arrested and impeached.
As Punchbowl reported, Lead Left was registered only on April 24, and its address is listed as a Staples in Tallahassee, Fla. While Democrats dont know whos running it, Punchbowl found WinRed, a Republican fund-raising platform, in the metadata on the groups website. When Punchbowls Ally Mutnick asked a spokesman for the Congressional Leadership Fund, a Republican super PAC, if the group was behind Lead Left, he didnt deny it. Instead, he gloated, We hate to see these Democrat primaries devolve into the wokelympics, but the office popcorn machine has been going nonstop. https://archive.ph/GogP6

Here's a report from the DCC
DCCC Statement on D.C. Republican Dark Money Interests Meddling in TX-35 Runoff, Uplifting Antisemitism
In response to reporting that a D.C. Republican-aligned dark money super PAC is spending tens of thousands of dollars to uplift notorious antisemitic online poster Maureen Galindo in Texas 35th Congressional District, DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus issued the following statement:
Republicans are so terrified of their cynical attempt to subvert the will of Texas voters backfiring that theyve resorted to uplifting an openly antisemitic candidate to boost their dwindling chances. They know that their own extremists have no shot at beating Johnny Garcia and his broad coalition of working-class Texans.
This Republican dark-money investment coming just days after new reporting revealed the extent of Galindos dangerous antisemitic rhetoric is nothing short of disgusting. Texas voters will reject this latest attempt by Washington Republicans to meddle in their elections and send Johnny Garcia to Congress this November.
BACKGROUND:
Lead Left PAC filed with the FEC just two weeks ago. Its address, according to the FEC, is a Staples in Tallahassee, Florida.
Punchbowl News reports that the metadata for the PACs website has a WinRed link (the site Republicans use to fundraise), and that House Republicans super PAC Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) declined to deny their involvement in the group.

We've got some real kooks in Texas. On the other side of town, I'm dealing with a convicted dirty cop who has an AI generated face on all her signs. She got her conviction overturned and now she's running. She's using bully and intimidation tactics. People don't remember her because the face on her sign is fake! Even NPR is using her AI generated face.
