众议院民主党人公开与得州国会候选人莫林·加林多划清界限，因其近期发表言论呼吁将ICE拘留中心改造为关押“美国犹太复国主义者”的监狱。
“莫林·加林多是道德上的耻辱，她根本没有资格参选公职，更别说担任公职了，”纽约州民主党众议员里奇·托雷斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“因此她应该羞愧地退出竞选。”
“这种言论在我们的政治中毫无立足之地，我们绝不能在众议院容忍这种反犹主义，”马里兰州民主党众议员约翰·奥尔谢夫斯基表示。“我绝对不可能支持这样的候选人。”
“她一定是疯了——精神出了问题，”纽约州民主党众议员汤姆·苏奥齐说道。“这太疯狂了。”

此次强烈反对声浪爆发前，加林多曾在社交媒体上发帖承诺将ICE拘留中心改造为“关押美国犹太复国主义者和前ICE官员的监狱”，此举招致两党对其反犹主义的指控。在同一条Instagram帖文中，她还表示该监狱将用作恋童癖者的阉割中心，“其中大部分可能会是犹太复国主义者”。
一些众议院民主党人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他们也是第一次听说加林多的争议言论，或是回避就此发表看法。
“抱歉，我赶去委员会开会要迟到了，”马萨诸塞州民主党众议员艾安娜·普雷斯利说道。
“我也是第一次听说这件事，但我认为任何人发表这样的言论都是有问题的，”加利福尼亚州民主党众议员阿米·贝拉说道。
“我对得州的情况一无所知，”南卡罗来纳州民主党众议员詹姆斯·克莱伯恩说道。
民主党高层还指责共和党帮助助推加林多在得州第35国会选区的参选活动。该席位目前由民主党人占据，共和党希望在11月的中期选举中拿下该席位。

此前有消息称，花费约90万美元宣传加林多的超级政治行动委员会“领导左翼”与共和党存在关联，民主党人随即试图将矛头指向共和党。目前尚无公开证据显示该委员会由共和党掌控，但众议院民主党领袖仍迅速抨击共和党可能存在的关联。纽约州民主党众议员、众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯在一份联合声明中表示，“‘让美国再次伟大’极端分子应该感到羞耻”。
“这太令人作呕了，绝对必须受到谴责——这些言论，”加利福尼亚州民主党众议员皮特·阿吉拉尔说道。“我认为同样需要谴责的是共和党为她投入百万美元竞选资金。共和党为什么希望她获胜？”
加林多还在帖文中表示，如果当选国会议员，她将推动立法将犹太复国主义及支持犹太复国主义的行为定义为反犹主义。她本人否认了反犹主义的指控，但称自己反对“犹太复国主义犹太人”。
“我认为很明显，我们都必须站出来反对反犹主义，”伊利诺伊州民主党众议员乔纳森·杰克逊在被问及加林多的言论时说道。
在这场由帖文引发的风波后，加林多已在Facebook上发布视频回应反犹主义指控，称她从未呼吁将犹太人关进监狱，而是希望“将那些资助种族灭绝式监狱系统、参与人口贩卖的亿万富翁美国犹太复国主义者投入监狱”。

“我反对所有集中营，并希望尽快将它们全部关闭，首先从南得克萨斯州的众多拘留中心开始，”加林多在谈及ICE拘留中心时说道。

加林多将于周二在得州民主党初选中与国会候选人约翰尼·加西亚正面交锋。
“她根本不可能走到这一步，”当被问及如果加林多当选是否会推动将其驱逐出国会时，得州民主党众议员劳埃德·多格特说道。“我相信该选区的选民——其中大部分地区我曾代表了十年——会支持约翰尼。”

House Democrats publicly distanced themselves from Texas congressional candidate Maureen Galindo for her recent remarks calling for ICE detention centers to be turned into prisons for “American Zionists.”
“Maureen Galindo is a moral disgrace who has no business running for, let alone holding, elected office,” Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., told Fox News Digital. “So she should withdraw from the race out of shame.”
“That kind of rhetoric has no place in our politics and we should not accept that kind of antisemitism here in the House of Representatives,” Rep. John Olszewski, D-Md., said. “There’s no world in which I can support a candidate like that _.”
“She must be crazy — something wrong with her,” Rep. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y. said. “That’s demented.”

The backlash comes after Galindo posted to her social media pledging to turn ICE detention centers into a “prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers,” which drew accusations of antisemitism from both parties. In the same Instagram post, she also said the prison will be used as a castration center for pedophiles, “which will probably be most of the Zionists.”
Some House Democrats told Fox News Digital it was the first time they were hearing of Galindo’s controversy, or dodged giving their take on the matter.
“I’m sorry, I’m late for committee,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., said.
“This is the first I’m hearing about it, but I think anyone saying that is problematic,” Rep. Ami Bera, D-Calif., said.
“I have no idea about Texas,” Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., said.
Top Democrats have also accused Republicans of helping elevate Galindo’s candidacy in Texas’ 35th Congressional District. The seat is currently held by a Democrat, with Republicans hoping to pick up the seat in the November midterms.

The attempt to shift the blame to Republicans comes after accusations have circulated that super PAC “Lead Left,” which has spent roughly $900,000 promoting Galindo, has ties to the Republican Party.
No public proof has emerged showing Republican control of the PAC. Still, leading House Democrats were quick to call out the GOP for any potential ties. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said in a joint statement that “MAGA extremists should be ashamed of themselves.”
“This is disgusting, and it absolutely has to be condemned — these comments,” Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said. “I think what also needs to be condemned is Republicans putting a million dollars behind her. Why do Republicans want her to win?”
Galindo also said in the post that when elected into Congress, she will work to pass legislation that all Zionism and support of Zionism will be considered antisemitic. She herself has denied allegations of being antisemitic, but says she is opposed to “Zionist Jews.”
“I think it’s very clear that we all have to take a stand against antisemitism,” Rep. Jonathan Jackson, D-Ill., said when asked about Galindo’s comments.
Since the firestorm that has come from these posts, Galindo has since posted a video to Facebook addressing the antisemitic accusations, claiming she never called for Jewish people to be imprisoned but that she wants to “put billionaire American Zionists who are funding the genocidal prison systems involved in trafficking into prison.”

“I’m against all internment camps and would like to see them all shut down ASAP, starting with the many in South Texas,” Galindo said, referring to ICE detention centers.

Galindo will go face-to-face against congressional candidate Johnny Garcia on Tuesday in the Texas Democratic primary.
“She won’t make it here,” Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, said when asked if he would pursue moving to expel her from Congress if elected. “I’m confident that the people in that district, much of which I represented for a decade, will stand with Johnny.
