Democrats vow to vote ‘every single day’ to expel fellow Dem from Congress if she wins midterm
Two Democratic lawmakers are threatening to force repeated votes to expel a fellow Democrat from Congress if Texas voters send him to Washington this November.
Reps. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla. and Josh Gottheimer, DN.J., say they will force repeat votes to impeach the Texas Democrat Maureen Galindo From the House over comments calling for the imprisonment of “American Zionists”.
Galindo, a sex therapist who works in a Republican-leaning district, has not backed down from her campaign bid to turn a local ICE processing center into a “human trafficking prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers.” He also claimed in a social media post that many Zionists, generally defined as supporters of the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland, are pedophiles who should be castrated.
“I don’t care if he’s sent here. vote to expel him Moskowitz told Fox News Digital in an interview:

“My grandmother was part of the Kindertransport out of Germany. Her family was killed in Auschwitz. My children will never go to concentration camps,” she added.
The Galindo campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
Galindo’s antisemitic comments come as he competes in a May 26 runoff election after receiving the most votes in the Democratic primary for the San Antonio-based district. Republicans redrew district lines earlier this year to increase the GOP’s chances of flipping the seat, but Democrats could still make the race competitive.
He accused his second-round opponent, Bexar County sheriff’s deputy Johnny Garcia, of getting paid through “Zionist terrorism and smuggling.”
“When Maureen enters Congress, she will write legislation that will ensure that Zionism and support for Zionism is unquestionably anti-Semitic, because Zionists harm Semites,” Galindo’s campaign wrote on social media last week.
Moskowitz said Democrats should do everything they can to make sure Galindo doesn’t get that chance.

“The Democratic Party cannot come to power because we have expanded our tent to include this kind of crazy behavior,” the Florida lawmaker told Fox News Digital.
“It has gone from super extreme to almost mainstream now,” he continued, referring to anti-Semitism. “We crossed the Rubicon with the goods.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (DY) said Galindo’s comments were “disqualifying” and accused GOP groups of trying to support her candidacy.
“Texans will not be fooled and will reject him at the ballot box next week,” Jeffries said in a joint statement with Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chairwoman Suzan DelBene, D-Wash.
Both Moskowitz and Gottheimer suggested that Galindo’s comments reflected a broader rise in antisemitism in the political sphere.
