A far-right US congressional candidate in Texas set fire to a copy of the Quran, in an advertisement posted to X on Tuesday in which she vowed to “stop Islam once and for all.”
“Your daughters will be raped, and your sons beheaded, unless we stop Islam once and for all,” says the pro-Trump influencer, Valentina Gomez, in the ad. She is dressed in camo pants and a campaign T-shirt bearing the silhouette of a rifle.
