"Gomez has built her political brand on incendiary, unhinged, anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-Muslim rhetoric. During her 2024 campaign for Missouri Secretary of State, she posted an ad in which she torched LGBTQ+ books and regularly described LGBTQ+ people as 'pedophiles' and 'fa***ts.'"
"At September's Unite the Kingdom rally, Gomez reportedly told a crowd of more than 100,000 people that 'rapist Muslims' were 'taking over' the U.K., showcasing her extreme views and the backlash they generated."
"After she posted that she had been approved to travel to May's rally, critics blasted the U.K. Home Office for not applying the same standard to Gomez that it used to ban Kanye West from entering the country earlier this year."
