A Republican congressional hopeful in Texas has drawn condemnation after posting a campaign video in which she burns the Quran with a flamethrower while vowing to “end Islam” in the state, The Daily Beast reported. 

Valentina Gomez, running for Texas’ 31st District in 2026, declared in the video that “your daughters will be raped and your sons beheaded, unless we stop Islam once and for all.”

She added, “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.”

The video, viewed nearly 3 million times on X, ended with a message that she is “powered by Jesus Christ.”

Gomez defended the stunt to the Daily Beast, saying, “Muslims are here to destroy the American way of life, I am here to protect it.”
