Aspiring MAGA congresswoman simulates ‘execution’ of immigrant in disturbing campaign video
Aspiring congresswoman and controversial Make America Great Again cheerleader Valentina Gomez has reignited outrage after posting a video of herself appearing to simulate the execution of an immigrant.
The 25-year-old, who unsuccessfully tried to be elected Missouri secretary of state earlier this year, said in the disturbing video that undocumented people who commit violent crimes “should be terminated.”
In the video, posted to X on Monday, Gomez can be seen firing a pistol into the back of the head of a dummy tied to a chair with a black bag over its head.
“It’s that simple, publicly execute any illegal person who rapes or kills Americans. They should not be deported, they should be terminated,” she said.
The video had been flagged by an X as potentially violating the platform’s rules against “violent speech” but had not been removed as of Tuesday. “Public execution of any illegal who rapes or kills Americans,” Gomez captioned the video.
This quickly sparked outrage from other social media users, with some labeling the Colombian a “psychopath”. “What’s wrong with these people?” one wrote.
“They’re deranged, mentally ill, and antisocial,” another person responded.
Critics even included Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who wrote: “She is not just an American fascist. She is Colombian. As an immigrant, what she wants is to unleash hatred against immigrants. Big Most Americans were killed by Americans.

However, others seemed to agree with Gomez’s stance, including the tweet’s MAGA provocateur and Trump aide Laura Loomer. “Love this.”
After X began restricting videos, Gomez claimed she was “the biggest threat to the establishment, because that’s what I call it.”
“I give people hope, but I don’t need their money. Remember, no one is coming to save us. Stay bound,” she said.
The sentiment of Gomez’s video echoes the sentiments of President-elect Donald Trump, who has previously called for extending the death penalty to those who enter the country illegally and kill citizens or police officers. Trump strongly opposes Joe Biden’s decision to pardon most federal death row inmates.
Gomez was banned from Instagram for frequently sharing shocking or shocking videos on her social media pages.
In previous films, she has frequently used homophobic slurs, and in one video she set fire to two LGBTQ-inclusive books. She describes literature as “embellishing, indoctrinating and sexualizing”.

During the 2024 campaign, she called Vice President Kamala Harris a “hoe” and a “little bastard,” used the word “f****t” to describe transgender people and described Democrats as “full of Gay*”**”, etc.
Her bold rhetoric ultimately failed to gain traction among voters. Gomez received just 7.4% of the vote, finishing sixth among the eight candidates in the Missouri secretary of state race.
Last week, she announced her candidacy for Texas Congress and moved to the state to challenge Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw for his seat. “I am not afraid of PDFs, criminals, or scammers in Washington. I only fear God,” she wrote in a post announcing the move.
