Talarico Refuses To Campaign With Candidate Proposing Prison for Zionists
Maureen Galindo, a housing activist and conspiracy theorist known for her anti-Zionist rhetoric, is close to winning a Democratic runoff in a Texas House district. However, U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico has stated he will not campaign with Galindo if she wins, condemning her “antisemitic rhetoric.” Galindo has defended her statements, claiming she is against “Zionist Jews” and not all Jewish people, and suggests media attacks are causing harm by playing into stigmas about Jewish people controlling media. Her opponent, Johnny Garcia, and the Democratic Majority for Israel are actively campaigning against her due to her controversial remarks.
