As Missouri’s primary election looms, Republican candidate Valentina Gomez has made startling accusations against the LGBTQ+ community. In her latest campaign efforts, Gomez claimed that LGBTQ+ activists attempted to poison her dogs, adding to her series of inflammatory statements.
Just last week, Gomez garnered widespread attention for a video where she repeatedly used slurs against the LGBTQ+ community. This led to significant backlash, including a story about drag queens condemning her language. In response, Gomez accused the publication of retaliating against her for her outspoken views, labeling Hollywood as a hub for “fa***ts and pedophiles.”
Gomez continued her tirade by attacking drag queens, asserting that they could never match her beauty despite their efforts with makeup and surgeries. Her comments included a plan to travel to California to confront what she called “pedophiles.” Later, she framed herself as a victim of a broader conspiracy, claiming she has faced attempts on her life and her family’s safety due to her stance against what she calls “corrupt politicians and groomers.”
She went on to argue that her fight has come at great personal cost, including threats against her father and attempts to poison her pets. Despite these alleged dangers, Gomez urged voters to support her in the upcoming election, casting her struggle as a battle to “save America” from what she described as gay pedophiles in the government.
Gomez’s inflammatory rhetoric and unverified claims have dominated her campaign narrative, overshadowing her policy positions and drawing intense criticism. Earlier this year, she lost her job with a dog food company, which she attributed to her outspoken views against the presence of explicit content in children’s libraries.
