哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预计,在得州第35国会选区民主党众议院初选中,约翰尼·加西亚击败莫琳·加林多。此前,加林多被指发表反犹言论,在竞选最后几天引发轩然大波。

性治疗师加林多在3月的初选中击败前副警长加西亚以及另外两名候选人,拔得头筹。但近日她因承诺如果当选,将把一处移民拘留设施改造为“美国犹太复国主义者的监狱”而遭到抨击。

在其他社交媒体帖文中,她声称“亿万富翁犹太复国主义者”应当被关进监狱,“与犹太复国主义有关联的候选人和政客”应被处以“叛国罪审判”。

加林多否认自己有反犹倾向,但表示她“反对犹太复国主义的犹太人”。

民主党人与她划清界限,同时指责共和党人为她的竞选造势。众议院少数党领袖、纽约州众议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯,以及民主党国会竞选委员会主席、华盛顿州众议员苏珊·德尔贝恩均称加林多的“恶毒”言论“丧失参选资格”。一些众议院民主党议员威胁称,如果加林多在11月的大选获胜并于明年宣誓就职,他们将发起驱逐投票。

“她不受民主党欢迎,也不受国会欢迎。”佛罗里达州民主党众议员、犹太人贾里德·莫斯科维茨上周表示,“任何想要把美国人关进集中营的人都不具备合法性。”

民主党众议院竞选机构上周介入本次竞选,在最后时刻投放广告,试图帮助加西亚赢得选举。广告中将加林多称为“MAGA莫琳”,意指她得到了一个与共和党有关联的政治行动委员会的支持。

加西亚将对阵卡洛斯·德拉克鲁兹或州众议员约翰·卢汉,二人正在争夺共和党提名。

在去年的选区重划后,该选区对共和党更为有利,共和党希望能拿下这个圣安东尼奥地区的席位。《库克政治报告》将本次竞选评级为“大概率共和党胜出”。

现任该选区议员、民主党众议员格雷格·卡萨尔是国会进步党团主席,他将转战重划后的第37选区,该选区包含奥斯汀部分地区。

Maureen Galindo projected to lose Texas Democratic House runoff after antisemitism accusations

Johnny Garcia beat Maureen Galindo in the Democratic primary runoff in Texas’ 35th Congressional District, CBS News projects, after accusations of antisemitic comments by Galindo roiled the race in the final days.

Galindo, a sex therapist, finished first in the March primary against Garcia, a former sheriff’s deputy, and two other candidates. But Galindo came under fire in recent days after she pledged to turn an immigration detention facility into a “prison for American Zionists” if elected.

In other social media posts, she argued that “billionaire Zionists” belong in prison and that “Zionist associated candidates and politicians” deserve “treason trials.”

Galindo has denied being antisemitic but said she is “against Zionist Jews.”

Democrats distanced themselves from her, while also accusing Republicans of propping up her candidacy. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington, who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, called Galindo’s “vile” language “disqualifying.” Some House Democratic lawmakers have threatened to force a vote to expel her if she wins the general election in November and is sworn in next year.

“She’s not welcome in the Democratic Party. She’s not welcome in Congress,” Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida, who is Jewish, said last week. “Anyone who wants to put any American in camps is not legitimate.”

The House Democrats’ campaign arm got involved in the race last week, placing a last-minute ad buy as the party sought to tip the scales in Garcia’s favor. The ad referred to Galindo as “MAGA Maureen” in reference to support she’s received from a political action committee that has been linked to Republicans.

Garcia will face off against either Carlos De La Cruz or state Rep. John Lujan, who are vying for the GOP nomination.

Republicans are hoping to pick up the San Antonio-area seat after last year’s redistricting made the district more favorable to the GOP. The Cook Political Report has rated the race as likely Republican.

Democratic Rep. Greg Casar, who leads the Congressional Progressive Caucus, currently represents the 35th District but is running in the redrawn 37th District, which includes parts of Austin.
