Alex Bollinger at LGBTQ Nation:
Missouri secretary of state candidate Valentina Gomez was in D.C. yesterday and she stopped by Congress, apparently to get mad at the flags one congresswoman flies in front of her office.
“This is a United States congresswoman and the only flag that should be allowed is the American flag,” Gomez said while standing in front of Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) office at the Capitol. Several flags can be seen in the background, including a Palestinian flag, a Philadelphia rainbow flag, and a Michigan state flag.
“Not all of this gay garbage or Palestinian garbage,” she continued. Tlaib is of Palestinian descent and an LGBTQ+ ally.
“And let me remind you, you serve the American people,” Gomez said, addressing Tlaib. “Not the pedophiles or the terrorists that these flags represent.”
“You’re supposed to serve the American People. Not these gay terrorists,” Gomez wrote in sharing the video.
Republican Missouri Secretary of State candidate Valentina Gomez launched a hateful diatribe aimed at the LGBTQ+ and Palestinian flags in front of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)’s office.
Tlaib is from Michigan who is an LGBTQ+ ally and has Palestinian ancestry, so this is her way of expressing her identity and solidarity.
Gomez hatefully insinuated that the Philly Pride variant of the LGBTQ+ Pride Flag and the Palestinian Flag represent “pedophiles” and “terrorists” respectively.
