Exclusive: James Talarico Endorses in House Runoff to Try to Block Democrat Who Made Antisemitic Remarks

The controversy escalates as she targets Johnny Garcia and draws condemnation from the San Antonio Jewish Federation.

  • Over the weekend, Congressional candidate Maureen Galindo posted on Instagram that she would transform the Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for "American Zionists" and a "castration processing center for pedophiles."
  • Galindo has faced repeated accusations of antisemitism, which she denies by distinguishing between "the Indigenous Jews of the Middle East" and "the Fake Jews" she claims control San Antonio and Hollywood.
  • In her social media posts, Galindo also accused Democratic primary opponent Bexar County Public Information Officer Johnny Garcia of "want Mexicans and Jews in warehouses," alleging he participates in a human trafficking conspiracy orchestrated by "billionaire Zionists."
  • State Rep. James Talarico rescinded his support for Galindo on Friday, stating "this antisemitic rhetoric has no place in our politics," while The San Antonio Jewish Federation condemned her "divisive and hateful rhetoric."
  • As the May 26 Democratic primary runoff approaches, a mysterious PAC tied to the GOP has worked behind the scenes to boost Galindo in the newly redrawn 35th Congressional District.
