Valentina Gomez, 25, Donald Trump‘s MAGA supporter and aspiring congresswoman, has yet again incited significant controversy with a provocative video.
In this disturbing footage shared on X, she appears to execute an immigrant by firing a handgun at the back of a dummy’s head, asserting that undocumented individuals who commit violent crimes “deserve to be ended.”
Gomez, a real estate investor and political activist, is notorious for her extreme right-wing rhetoric. She frequently shares contentious content on social media, including homophobic slurs and the burning of LGBTQ-inclusive books, claiming they “groom” and “indoctrinate” children. This behaviour has led to her Instagram ban.
NEW: Texas Congressional candidate Valentina Gomez releases video demonstrating the punishment she wants for illegal aliens who k*ll Americans.

— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 23, 2024Colombian President Gustavo Petro condemned her actions, accusing her of seeking to “unleash hatred against migrants.” Conversely, some, like fellow MAGA supporter Laura Loomer, have endorsed her views.
Born in Medellin, Colombia, on May 8, 1999, Gomez immigrated to the US in 2009. While her career as a real estate investor initially brought her recognition, her political endeavours have elevated her public stature. She has made controversial remarks such as “Don’t be weak and gay,” and has been vocal about her stance on LGBTQ+ books, which she claims “groom, indoctrinate, and sexualize” children.

— Sr.Liberal (@SrLiberal) December 23, 2024Previously employed in the financial sector, including a strategic optimization role at Nestle, Gomez’s bold rhetoric has not translated into electoral success. She garnered only 7.4% of the vote in the Missouri Secretary of State election, finishing sixth among eight candidates. Unfazed, she has announced her intention to run for Congress in Texas, challenging Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw.
Her political involvement divides public opinion and influences her personal life. After her brother’s contributions to her campaign were revealed, he was dismissed as the mayor of Jersey City’s aide, highlighting how her extreme beliefs significantly affected her family relationships.
