Adina Flores, an activist and self-proclaimed civil rights advocate, has endorsed Eric Jones, the Democratic candidate for California’s 4th Congressional District. Flores’ social media presence includes statements that promote antisemitic tropes and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. Flores posted on Facebook and Instagram statements asserting that Jews control global affairs and specific regions. In one instance, she stated, 'The Jews still run the world.' In another post, she wrote, 'Evil Jews run the world through Masonic Lodges.' Jones' campaign responded to inquiries about Flores' comments by issuing a statement. A spokesperson for the campaign said, 'I firmly condemn any and all hate toward our Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities. It has no place in our district.' The statement also noted Jones' wife is Jewish and they are raising their children in a Jewish household. ## Disagreement on Flores' views The New York Ledger reported that Flores' social media content frames political issues as a conflict between race, sexual orientation, and secretive sources of influence. PJ Media described Flores as a 'typical leftist activist' whose views are 'insane' and characterized her as hating Jews and believing they are behind negative aspects of the world. ## What the coverage left out None of the right-rated digests mention that Eric Jones has received endorsements from progressive groups like Indivisible and Our Revolution, organizations with ties to Senator Bernie Sanders.
