Democratic congressional candidate in California receives endorsement from activist with antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ social media posts

Adina Flores, an activist who describes herself as a civil rights advocate and whistleblower, endorsed Eric Jones — the Democratic hopeful running for the congressional seat vacated by Rep. Eric Swalwell — citing Jones' stated commitment to addressing women's sexual exploitation. Jones, whose campaign priorities include affordability, government transparency, and resource sustainability, has also received endorsements from progressive organizations Indivisible and Our Revolution, both associated with Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Fox News Digital reported that Flores' Facebook, Instagram, and Substack pages contain statements framing political issues as involving race, sexual orientation, and hidden sources of power. In one Facebook video, Flores said Sonoma County is "run by the gay Jewish mafia — the Zionists" and that "Jews still run the world." In an August Instagram post, she wrote "Evil Jews run the world through Masonic Lodges." Flores also posted that students in public schools would "be gay and r-tarded" and described public schools as "liberal prison indoctrination centers."

Jones' campaign spokesperson provided a statement condemning the remarks: "I firmly condemn any and all hate toward our Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities. It has no place in our district. My wife is Jewish, we are raising our kids in a Jewish household, I'm a fierce advocate for our public schools and educators, and I have zero tolerance for hateful commentary toward my neighbors or my family."
