The controversial Republican candidate lost the 2024 Missouri Secretary of State primary election after burning LGBTQ+ books with a flamethrower and making derogatory statements towards LGBTQ+ individuals. Her campaign video included offensive remarks like 'weak and gay', leading to a major defeat.
Valentina Gomez attacked Democrat Barbara Phifer on social media, suggesting that having a trans grandchild makes her a 'groomer'. She also targeted WNBA player Brittney Griner, labeling her as 'unpatriotic' and 'anti-American', calling for her imprisonment in Russia for being a lesbian.
Gomez posted photos on social media burning LGBTQ+ literature with a flamethrower, labeling the books as 'grooming' and 'pornographic'. Her extreme views and actions alienated voters, contributing to her significant loss in the primary election.
One of the burned books by Valentina Gomez included 'Queer: The Ultimate LGBTQ+ Guide For Teens', which covers important topics like abusive relationships. Her radical stance on banning such books for children raised concerns and led to her failure in the election.
