The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has initiated an advertising campaign targeting Democratic congressional candidate Maureen Galindo in Texas. This decision follows widespread disavowal of Galindo by Democrats due to her antisemitic remarks, including a recent statement about converting an ICE facility into a 'prison for American Zionists.'
Galindo, a sex therapist, won the Democratic primary in Texas' 35th district in March and is currently in a runoff against Johnny Garcia, a local sheriff's deputy who is supported by the DCCC. The DCCC is reportedly spending $35,000 on this ad campaign ahead of the May 26 runoff.
The advertisement criticizes Galindo's alleged 'conspiracies' and 'hateful words,' while also highlighting GOP financial support for her campaign, referring to her as 'MAGA Maureen.' The ad asserts that Garcia 'will fight Trump, not help him.' Galindo has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the ad campaign.
