MAGA Candidate Torches the Quran in Deranged Flamethrower Ad [View all]

Source: Daily Beast

A far-right MAGA congressional hopeful has posted an unhinged campaign ad in which she sets fire to the Quran with a flamethrower.

Valentina Gomez, a Republican running for Texas’ 31st District in 2026, shared the extreme video on social media as part of her vow to “end Islam” in the Lone Star State, which has a Muslim population of roughly 1 percent. Gomez has a history of creating violent stunts and using hateful rhetoric, but she also hopes to make it onto the national stage via a district that voted 61 percent for Trump in 2024.

“Your daughters will be raped and your sons beheaded, unless we stop Islam once and for all,” Gomez said before torching a copy of the holy book. “America is a Christian nation, so those terrorist Muslims can f--- off to any of the 57 Muslim nations. There is only one true God, and that is the God of Israel.”. Gomez’s campaign ad dripped with violent rhetoric and hatred, and ended with a message declaring that she is “powered by Jesus Christ.”

The Republican was swiftly condemned after uploading the Quran-burning stunt online.
