Talarico won't campaign with Democratic House candidate who wants to open 'a prison for American Zionists' [View all]
Maureen Galindo, the housing activist and conspiracy theorist whose rants about billionaire Zionists have defined her pursuit of a U.S. House seat in Texas, is within spitting distance of winning a Democratic runoff in a competitive San Antonio-area district.
But if Galindo becomes the nominee, shell be without the support of the states most prominent Democrat: U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico.
This antisemitic rhetoric has no place in our politics. We need leadership in both parties willing to stand up and call out hate wherever it rears its ugly head, the Texas state representative, whose own surging campaign has garnered national attention, said in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency when asked about Galindo.
Talaricos campaign confirmed to JTA that he would not campaign with Galindo if she wins her May 26 runoff, in a district Democrats are hoping to flip following Republican-led redistricting in the state.
