Big loss for Democrat who wanted ‘Zionists’ in camps may still signal big trouble on horizon
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Both Republican and Democratic strategists argued that the defeat of Texas Democrat Maureen Galindo — a congressional candidate who said Zionists should be held in ICE detention centers — was not the «course correction» some Democrats claimed, despite efforts to frame the loss as a rejection of far-left extremism.
Galindo’s suggestion on a podcast that aired just weeks before the runoff election that «billionaire Zionists» should be imprisoned at the Karnes ICE facility in Texas garnered massive blowback from Democrats and Republicans alike, who alleged Galindo’s comment was a proposal for internment camps.
Congressional Democratic leadership in particular was vocal in their condemnation of Galindo. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., issued a joint statement with Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Suzan DelBene calling Galindo’s words «vile» and «disqualifying.»
In response to the backlash, Galindo shared in a statement claiming that she never called for «internment camps,» blaming the uproar over a headline by an «unethical journalist.»

Galindo lost Tuesday’s runoff election, capturing roughly 36% of the vote. Her opponent, Johnny Garcia, who is viewed as a moderate Democrat, won the runoff race with 63.8% of the vote. Back in March, Galindo narrowly won the state’s primary with 29.2% of the vote. Garcia was a close second, winning 27% of the vote.
«I think no matter how hard the Republican donors pushed this Democratic primary candidate, that the voters looked at her and said, ‘Now we don’t want a nut case here in the House of Representatives,’» progressive talk show host Thom Hartmann told Fox News Digital.
Just days after Galindo’s comments about imprisoning Zionists became public, Lead Left PAC, a mysterious super PAC suspected of having ties to Republican donors, donated half a million dollars to Galindo’s campaign. The suspicions stemmed in part from a Punchbowl News report that found links to WinRed — the GOP’s fundraising platform — embedded in the metadata of Lead Left PAC’s website.
«I think probably the more interesting part of this is that Lead Left —this super PAC that is filled with Republican donors — was pushing her,» Hartmann told Fox News.

«‘Hey, let’s find a wacky lefty sex therapist who will make antisemitic remarks, and let’s really promote her in a Democratic primary,’ which is what they did, and you know it’s a good thing she lost,» Hartmann said. «I mean this is the kind of candidate that does damage to the Democrats.»
But Republican political strategist Ben Ferguson pushed back on the notion that Galindo’s extremist views are out of step with the current crop of Democratic candidates, pointing to Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, who has a Nazi tattoo.
«If Democratic voters were truly revolting against the activist-left, then why are some of the loudest and fastest-rising voices in the party still pushing ideas that most Americans consider completely outside the mainstream?» Ferguson told Fox News Digital.

«The truth is Democrats are not rejecting extremism — they’re only rejecting the versions that become politically impossible to defend on cable news,» Ferguson continued.
Richard Gordon, a political analyst who previously worked on Democratic campaigns, suggested that Galindo’s defeat was more a reflection of her hitting a ceiling than a course correction among voters. He noted that voter turnout dropped by 56% in the runoff compared to the primary election and that Galindo’s vote total also dropped by about 44%, signaling she retained most of her base.

«I don’t think the voters self-corrected as much as she hit her ceiling and was never going to win as Mr. Garcia, the more moderate and closer to the electorate philosophically candidate, was able to consolidate the vote of the other candidates in the primary,» Gordon told Fox News Digital. «Let’s not forget that Ms. Galindo only received 29.2% of the vote the first time. That means that 70% of voters wanted someone else, which is close to the 64% that Mr. Garcia received in the runoff.»
«In my view, Ms. Galindo would have lost anyway,» Gordon said. «She wasn’t a bridge too far for progressives as much as she was just too liberal for this district.»

Guatemala: Las lluvias e inundaciones mantienen evacuaciones en Alta Verapaz que incluyen el Hospital
Las lluvias, las inundaciones y las evacuaciones marcaron este 11 de julio en Alta Verapaz, donde más de 7 mil personas resultaron afectadas y las autoridades mantienen la respuesta ante una emergencia que puede extenderse porque se pronostica que las precipitaciones continúen en el territorio nacional.
La Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres registró ese impacto en varios municipios del departamento. Los sectores más afectados son Chahal, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas y San Cristóbal Verapaz, donde el agua ingresó a viviendas y obligó a movilizar a familias enteras.
En Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, los Bomberos Municipales Departamentales continúan con las evacuaciones en barrios y comunidades anegadas. Entre las zonas señaladas por los socorristas figuran Los Laureles, La Vilmita, Santa Rosa, la comunidad Chinacobejá y el sector María del Carmen.
El traslado de los afectados se realiza hacia casas de familiares, al salón comunal del barrio La Vilmita y a la Casa de la Cultura de Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas. Las unidades de emergencia siguen desplegadas en las áreas inundadas para asistir a la población.
El Ejército de Guatemala informó que personal de la Sexta Brigada de Infantería “CAJDI” presta ayuda humanitaria dentro del Hospital Nacional de Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, en Alta Verapaz, como parte de las labores de atención derivadas de las inundaciones causadas por las lluvias intensas.
La institución indicó que estas acciones forman parte del trabajo coordinado para apoyar a la población durante la emergencia. El apoyo militar se concentra en el interior del centro asistencial, en paralelo con las tareas de rescate y evacuación que desarrollan los cuerpos de socorro en el municipio.
La emergencia también afecta la movilidad terrestre. La acumulación de lluvia dejó varios kilómetros de carretera bajo el agua en el tramo entre Chahal y Cadenas, lo que complica el paso en ese sector.
Ese cuadro responde de forma directa a la pregunta central de la emergencia: quiénes están afectados y qué está ocurriendo. En Alta Verapaz, miles de personas sufren inundaciones en sus residencias, mientras bomberos, autoridades de protección civil y personal militar sostienen evacuaciones, asistencia y atención en infraestructura pública.

Fuera de Alta Verapaz, el riesgo inmediato también se concentra en Izabal. Según el Instituto Nacional de Sismología, Vulcanología, Meteorología e Hidrología, los municipios de Livingston y El Estor presentan una saturación del suelo igual o superior al 90% en la capa superior, hasta 30 centímetros de profundidad.
De acuerdo con el Insivumeh, esa condición favorece que la lluvia se deslice directamente hacia ríos, riachuelos, quebradas y zanjones. El resultado es un aumento en la posibilidad de crecidas, inundaciones en distintas áreas e inestabilidad del terreno con riesgo de deslizamientos.
El organismo científico advirtió además que en esa zona del Caribe del país podrían registrarse lluvias continuas durante seis horas, un volumen que eleva de forma considerable la cantidad de agua acumulada. Por eso recomendó mantener la alerta ante crecidas e inundaciones repentinas.
El monitoreo también identifica otras áreas vulnerables, en especial la Franja Transversal del Norte y el área del río Polochic. Aun así, el mayor nivel de riesgo se ubica en los municipios caribeños mencionados por el Insivumeh.
La mañana de este sábado se informaba que la temporada de lluvias en Guatemala dejó desde el 19 de abril hasta este 11 de julio un saldo de 23.944 personas afectadas, nueve muertes y 796 emergencias atendidas, un impacto que se concentra con fuerza en Alta Verapaz y que también alcanza carreteras, puentes, escuelas y redes eléctricas, según la actualización de la Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres.
El informe oficial añade que 236 carreteras y 12 puentes presentan daños, junto con 18 escuelas, tres edificios públicos y nueve redes de energía eléctrica afectadas. La infraestructura golpeada acompaña un balance humano que incluye 11.589 evacuados y 616 personas albergadas.
La CONRED reportó además 5,448 familias afectadas y 4,875 damnificadas. El organismo registró tres personas heridas, siete hospitalizadas y cuatro desaparecidas en incidentes asociados a las condiciones climáticas.
Las viviendas figuran entre los daños más extendidos de la época lluviosa. De 5.056 casas con algún nivel de afectación, 4.533 sufrieron daño moderado, 232 daño leve y 110 daño grave, mientras 181 permanecen en riesgo y hasta el corte del reporte no se consignaban viviendas destruidas.
La Municipalidad de Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, Alta Verapaz, informó que se mantiene la Alerta Roja Municipal debido a las intensas lluvias registradas en la región. Como parte de las acciones de prevención y respuesta, se prepara la movilización de ayuda humanitaria destinada a las familias afectadas.
Los equipos municipales continúan desplegados en las áreas urbana y rural, coordinando esfuerzos con instituciones de respuesta para atender las emergencias y dar seguimiento a las necesidades de la población.
Las autoridades recomiendan a la población informarse únicamente a través de los canales oficiales, evitar cruzar ríos o zonas inundadas y seguir las indicaciones emitidas por las entidades responsables.
Para reportar emergencias o solicitar asistencia, se encuentran habilitados los siguientes números:
- 1554 – Línea gratuita
- 3859-4861 – Atención y reporte de emergencias

‘Friday Follies’: What happened to Little Italy on Mamdani’s map?
Laura Ingraham and Raymond Arroyo share their ‘Ray’s 3 Wishes’ segment, starting with Kathy Griffin’s love life and a shocking funeral pole dance in Amsterdam. They also criticize Justin Trudeau’s public antics. Ingraham then wishes New York City officials would recognize Italian Americans after omitting Little Italy from a map, highlighting alleged discrimination.

«Die Hard» actor Robert Davi blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani Friday after a city map highlighting immigrant enclaves omitted Little Italy.
The «New York City Immigrant Enclaves» map resurfaced on social media earlier this week after users pointed out it omitted Little Italy, as well as historically Jewish and Irish neighborhoods, despite highlighting 30 immigrant communities across the five boroughs.
Following criticism from Italian-American groups, the city said it plans to update the map to include Little Italy.

Davi, who was born in Astoria, Queens, lashed out at Mamdani in a video posted on X, calling him a «jerk» for snubbing Little Italy.
«I hope every New York Italian American and Irish American spits on you when they see you,» Davi said. «I would spit on you if I saw you. Shame on you, you garbage man. Shame on you. Respect the city you’re in and understand the people who helped build it.»
«My grandparents came from Sicily and Naples and they taught me, speak the English. This is America. God bless America,» the 75-year-old «Licence to Kill» actor said.

«My grandfather enlisted in World War I and got wounded three times … he helped build New York City as an immigrant, an Italian immigrant,» he continued.
The veteran actor also suggested the mayor, whom he described as a «leftist Marxist Communist,» leave the United States.
«Go back to where you were born, Mamdani,» Davi said. «You don’t belong in America.»

Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, and moved to the United States when he was 7 years old.
Davi also suggested there should be a constitutional amendment preventing Mamdani from running for public office.
«You should spend time in America, at least a generation, especially those of you that come from a country that has a totally different philosophical ideology bent,» he said.
The mayor’s office previously directed Fox News Digital to remarks Mamdani made during an unrelated press conference Friday, where he defended the map and said it had originally been created under the previous administration in 2023.
«This map was initially created by the prior administration in 2023, and when we inherited it, we added a few additional neighborhoods,» Mamdani said. «It’s clearly not an exhaustive list of the more than 200 ethnic communities that call our city home, and we’re going to be making additional changes in the future to reflect that and that includes Little Italy.»
Fox News Digital has reached out to Mamdani’s office for comment.
