    Valentina Gomez, who’s running for Missouri secretary of state, appears to have lost her job with Nestle Purina after her numerous anti-LGBTQ+ stunts.

    Good.

      Oh fucking hell, Missouri?

      Maybe I should vote in the Republican primaries, fuck this woman and keep her far away from office.

        “…appears to have…”

        Don’t let them off the hook yet. According to this article they didn’t fire her. She quit after they “tried to keep her quiet about attacking LGBTQ books in libraries.”

        If Nestle hasn’t publicly distanced themselves from her, they’re probably still willing to employ her. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were secretly donating to her campaign.

          Such a piece of shit that Nestle said ‘don’t talk to us in public’

          But seriously, she’s such a pick me for the hateful vote.

        I guarantee she was a vocal bigot and only got in trouble with Nestle once it because clear she was a PR disaster. Bigots like this can’t control themselves and definitely have red flags.
