YouTube Description
as posted by the channelValentina Gomez — Colombian-born MAGA influencer and two-time failed Texas congressional candidate — built her entire political brand on keeping immigrants out. This week, the UK banned her from entering the country under the same legal standard used to ban Kanye West. Her response? Threatening to cross the English Channel on a boat — the same crossing that has killed 162 people since 2019.
This is what FAFO looks like.
