Deranged MAGA Candidate Makes Nuts Vow to Defy Travel Ban
Valentina Gomez has been barred from entering the U.K.
Valentina Gomez/X
An Islamophobic MAGA influencer who unsuccessfully ran for Congress and was denied entry to the U.K. for her disgusting rants has a bonkers plan to enter the country anyway. Valentina Gomez was scheduled to speak at the far-right “Unite the Kingdom” rally in May before the country’s muslim home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, intervened to withdraw her travel authorization because her presence “would not be conducive to the public good.” Gomez has responded on X, saying that she intends to take a “boat” to the U.K., riffing on the experience of asylum seekers who use rubber dinghies to reach British shores. In a particularly Islamophobic rant, she said in part: “I’m gonna hop on a boat, get free luxury accommodation, deliver my speech, and if they dare to arrest me, I guarantee you that the White House will get involved.” Gomez, from Texas, added that she is supported by “current and former soldiers of the United States military.” In an attempt to pander to the British far-right, she signed off with the movement’s clarion call, “England belongs to the English!”
