On this date in 2022, Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” first profiled Mayra Flores, who back on March 1st, 2022, won the GOP Primary in a special election to be held on June 14th to potentially become the U.S. House Representative for Texas’ 34th Congressional District, which is decidedly NOT a good thing, considering that she spent the past several years hyping the Qanon conspiracy theory, both on Instagram, as well as Facebook, as well as sharing Covid-19 misinformation.
Overall, she seems more determined to try to convince Hispanic Americans that the Republican Party isn’t incredibly racist or becoming a white nationalist bulwark, attempting to misinform whomever she can to execute “LEXIT”, where Latinos all leave the Democratic Party en masse so they can vote Republican and have their rights stripped away by legislators like her who are bought by old white men. Most of the Latinos voicing their support from LEXIT, not surprisingly, are bots trying to trick actual people into following their lead off that cliff. What doesn’t help her case is attacking measures to stop the spread of Covid-19, repeating fearmongering stories from other conservatives about violent migrants crossing the border, ridiculous conspiracy theories about the Biden administration supposedly handing out free crack pipes, and like so many other Russophilic Republicans, complains about Ukraine getting aid from the United States against the Russian invasion.
Oh, she’s also transphobic, taking time out of her schedule to grouse about transgender athlete Lia Thomas. Her campaign was being propped up financially by Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, and Flores frequently re-tweets her benefactor, making no illusions about that. And that’s why we’re thrilled to report that in the 2022 election, Mayra Flores was immediately bounced from office by her Democratic opponent, Vicente Gonzalez. She immediately blamed voters that stayed home for her loss, and is rumored to potentially be a candidate for Congress again in 2024, but that has yet to be official.
Obviously, we’re hoping she stays home, just like her voters did. Because she is too reality-challenged to serve in office.
