With her primary election tomorrow, Missouri secretary of state candidate Valentina Gomez made her closing argument: the gays tried to kill my dad and my dogs.

Just last week, Gomez got attention for a video she posted to social media where she called LGBTQ+ “fa***ts” repeatedly. On Friday, Billboard, the music publication, did a story about drag queens calling Gomez out for dropping slurs.

The next day, Gomez claimed that Billboard ran the article because she “pissed off a bunch of fa***ts and pedophiles in Hollywood.

“So here’s something you’ll never be despite all of that makeup and surgeries you do to yourself: a beautiful woman like me,” Gomez said, her comments directed at the drag queens in the article. She then said that she was planning to go to California to “catch some pedophiles.”

Later that same day, Gomez posted a video saying that she is the victim in this whole situation.

“I have stood up to pedophiles, groomers, and corrupt politicians,” she said. “But this hasn’t come without a price. They have tried to kill my father, poison my dogs, and destroy me.”

She didn’t elaborate, instead insisting that she doesn’t “ask for money” – commenters pointed out that she is indeed asking for money online – telling people she would rather they “buy food and bullets for your family.”

“I simply ask you to come out and vote for me on August 6,” she concluded. “So f**k these gay pedophiles in our government. Let’s save America.”

This isn’t the first time Gomez has said she suffered dog-related consequences for her actions. Earlier this year, she lost her job with Purina dog food, saying that the company was trying to “keep me quiet for speaking up against the pornographic materials in our children’s libraries.”
