A Democratic congressional hopeful in Texas is drawing scrutiny after a trail of social media posts surfaced in which she advances fringe conspiracy theories about Jews, denounces billionaire Zionists, and invokes the synagogue of Satan.
.
Maureen Galindo, a sex therapist with virtually no campaign war chest, stunned political observers in March when she finished first in the Democratic primary for Texass 35th Congressional District, capturing 29 percent of the vote and forcing a runoff. According to the Washington Free Beacon, Federal Election Commission filings show she has been running on less than $2,200 in the bank, yet she has dramatically outperformed expectations in a district that has become newly competitive after Republican-led redistricting.
Her unexpected rise has cast a harsh light on her online rhetoric, which blends hard-left politics with explicitly religious and antisemitic themes. I didnt expect this but its time to talk about spiritual warfare, she declared in an October 2025 video on Facebook, before alleging, They want to push the rapture as quick as possible so that they can see this coming of Christ This is the way that all of the Jews who own Hollywood, they use books and movies to create realities.
In the same video, Galindo claimed that [Jesus] was trying to warn us. He was trying to warn us about these exact same people, who worship Satan. She then elaborated in the caption, writing, The entire Bible start to finish is about displacement from land, and all colonizers since babylon worship the synagogue of satan, in my perspective. inversion is their greatest weapon of control, so stay sharp, language that echoes classic antisemitic narratives about Jewish power and inversion.
Her social media activity does not stop at theological smears. In February, when responding to a post complaining about allegedly sexualized content in a touchless thermometer for babies, Galindo asserted that the companys CEO was Jewish and shared an image with the Star of David circled in blue, implicitly suggesting a sinister motive tied to Jewish identity.
On Threads, she has been even more direct in her hostility toward the Jewish state and its supporters, adopting rhetoric that goes well beyond mainstream Democratic criticism of Israeli policy. I DO NOT SUPPORT AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS GOING TO ISRAEL AND WILL NEVERRRR ACCEPT THEIR BLOOD MONEY, she wrote in December 2025, framing U.S. aid to Israel as morally tainted.
In January, she broadened her attack to Jewish religious leadership as a whole, asserting, Jewish church leadership has a dominant economic and political (& media) power that is very real, harmful, and should be named and criticized. She has also claimed that the Department of Homeland Security is based out of Tel Aviv, a baseless allegation that feeds into conspiratorial claims of Israeli control over American security institutions.
Her suspicion extends to left-wing funding networks that most Democrats embrace, particularly those associated with billionaire George Soros, a frequent target of conservative criticism for bankrolling progressive causes. I've had the absolute WORST experience with TOP, a Soros funded activist organization in Texas. They take over and fuck up every single issue they come across. Homie-- his work is not to redistribute power. It's to co-op it, she wrote in May 2025, suggesting that even Soros-backed groups are part of a corrupt power structure she distrusts.
Galindos campaign has attracted support from the anti-Israel group Track AIPAC, which is run by a self-described Marxist based in Germany, underscoring her alignment with the far-left flank of the Democratic Party on foreign policy. That endorsement, combined with her rhetoric, places her squarely in the camp of activists who seek to delegitimize Israel and who often blur the line between criticism of Israeli policy and hostility toward Jews as a people.
The political backdrop in Texass 35th District makes her rise all the more consequential. Once a safe Democratic seat anchored in liberal Austin, the district was dramatically redrawn in a mid-decade map pushed through by the GOP-controlled legislature, leaving less than 10 percent of the original constituency and giving Republicans a four-point edge, according to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.
Even so, strategists caution that the race remains highly competitive, especially in a cycle where national headwinds could cut against Republicans. Its definitely a toss-up, especially in the San Antonio suburbs as theyve grown outward. Republicans have an advantage, its a district Trump won, but it is not a safe Republican district in any sense of the word, Ryan Girdusky, a veteran GOP operative and founder of the 1776 Project PAC, told the Washington Free Beacon.
Galindo is set to face Johnny Garcia, the public information officer for the Bexar County Sheriffs Office, in the Democratic primary runoff on May 26, a contest that will determine which party standard-bearer carries this baggage into the general election. For conservatives, the prospect of a Democratic nominee who traffics in antisemitic conspiracy theories could sharpen the contrast between the parties on questions of religious liberty, support for Israel, and the growing radicalism of the progressive left.
When contacted by the Free Beacon for comment on her record, Galindo did not retreat from her rhetoric but instead doubled down in an email response. I think billionaire Zionists and their puppet journalists are FAKE Jews who create antisemitism to harm and harvest off the real Jews. We must end Zionism to protect the Jews and Semites, she wrote, a statement that will likely alarm Jewish voters and pro-Israel Democrats while reinforcing conservative concerns about extremism inside the modern Democratic coalition.
