A far-left Democrat has sparked a massive social media furor after announcing her intention to represent a foreign nation in Congress instead of America.
On September 16, New York Congressional candidate Claire Valdez, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, took to X to swear her allegiance to her comrades in Mexico. For context, September 16 is the day Mexico celebrates its independence from Spain.
Valdez, a Mexican-American, started by bragging about Mexico’s successful fight for independence from Spain before bragging about her intention of building a working class in the country.
She closed by saying long live Mexico in Spanish.

Keep it up all she’ll find herself in Mexico ,LOL
What a moron.
Off with whatever passes for her head. !!!
As the Democrat nominee, she IS the next representative from NY-7 and, apparently, Mexico. A tip of the hat to the voters of NYC for another fine choice.
We know liberalism is a mental disorder but why isn’t she there now?
NY 7th Congressional District comprises parts of Brooklyn and Queens Burroughs. Last time a Republican won was 1858. Say hello to Mexicos first United States Representative. Grrrrrrr.
Just a year or two ago, we’d be reading this from the Babylon Bee.
Now, it’s reality.
Murphy stated to news organizations illegals were his number one priority. She’s towing the party line.
So many communists. So few helicopters.
What’s her immigration status? Attention ICE, we’ve got one for you.
All elected members of congress are required to take the oath of office:
§3331. Oath of office
An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.
( Pub. L. 89–554, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 424 .)
So, what are the consequences of violating their oath?
DemocRATs pledge loyalty to their pronouns:
ME, MYSELF, and I
The ads will be great.
Evidently, not much, e.g., Ilhan Omar.
Wow an honest politician !
If this nincompoop loves Mexico so much, what is she doing here?
I bet the US taxpayers footed the bill for her birth, childhood and college art history degree.
Piss on her!
And piss on the DSA!
She’s here because NO ONE in Mexico would vote for her!
Of course there was that period when Mexico was controlled by France who installed an emperor.
This needs to be dealt with by Patriots.
She is essentially saying she has no intention of honoring that oath.(She is just being straight up about it, unlike a number of her collegues).
