A Republican candidate for Congress is facing outrage after voicing support of public executions for illegal aliens who rape or kill American citizens.
Valentina Gomez filmed a mock execution and shared it with her social media following, leaving viewers stunned.
"It's that simple, public executions for any illegal that rapes or kills an American. They don't deserve deportation, they deserve to be ended," she said.
The stunt comes after a Guatemalan man who had previously been deported was arrested for the gruesome murder of a woman in New York City on Sunday.
33-year-old Sebastian Zapeta-Calil is accused of lighting his victim on fire as she slept on a subway car and watching her burn to death. The victim was so horribly burned that police have not yet been able to identify her.
The horrific murder has fueled fresh outrage over the porous southern border and violent crime perpetrated by illegal aliens. The man accused of the murder was deported during the Trump administration but managed to make his way back into the country at some point, leading some, like, Gomez, to conclude that deportations are not a sufficient deterrent.
Her shocking video caused a mixture of reactions, with some labeling her a "psychopath" and others voicing support.
The Colombia native previously grabbed attention for lighting LGBT literature on fire in protest of the indoctrination of children. Her provocative rhetoric has gained her a significant social media following, but it has not translated to success at the ballot box.
She fell short in her race for Missouri Secretary of State this year, losing in a crowded Republican primary. Gomez recently declared she is running for Congress against incumbent Republican Dan Crenshaw.
Her latest video was blocked by X for violating the website's policy on violent speech, which led Gomez to claim she was being targeted.
"My video being restricted & my account getting suspended shows all of you that I am the biggest threat to the establishment because I call it like I see it, I give people hope, and I don’t need their money. Remember, nobody is coming to save us. Stay strapped," she posted.
Immigration was a top issue driving President-elect Donald Trump's victory last month. High-profile murders of American women like Laken Riley brought the consequences of a loose southern border to the fore.
Trump has pledged to carry out the largest deportation in U.S. history - and to pursue the death penalty for illegal aliens who kill Americans.
