Monitoring the Situation (2/18/25)
Roundup of Texas political news and happenings.
Failed Missouri Candidate Valentina Gomez Visits the Texas House
Valentina Gomez, failed candidate for Missouri Secretary of State, has been hinting at a run for Congress to replace Dan Crenshaw. Recently, as seen in the above video, she visited the Texas House floor and recorded (which purportedly took multiple takes) a video for X.
Scott Braddock recently reported that it was Rep. J.M. Lozano who showed her around the Texas capitol.
We spoke to a source very close to Gomez, who told us her entire run is unserious and she’s just farming engagement on X.
No surprise there.
Ryan Fournier and the Pfizer Connection
Users on X noticed that a handful of influencer accounts on X were all posting in favor of Pfizer after their Super Bowl ad. Multiple accounts even used the relatively same wording in their posts.
Current Revolt noticed that all of these posts were being collectively reposted by MAGA influencer Ryan Fournier.
We reached out to Fournier who confirmed he had asked these accounts to post positively for Pfizer.
Fournier also confirmed he provided messaging for these accounts in order to repost.
We spoke to the accounts that Fournier had asked to post about Pfizer, and some were rather upset that Fournier had talked them into promoting Pfizer. Several felt taken advantage of.
As of last night, Fournier’s X account seemed to be promoting some sort of crypto coin.
Protestor at Ortiz’ Speech for the Grapevine Republican Club??
Current Revolt publisher, Tony Ortiz, recently spoke at the Grapevine Republican club.
The history of Current Revolt, funny stories, and drama we haven’t published was discussed, and everyone had a laugh about the scams and cheating going around the Texas Capitol.
Current Revolt was told that at least one conservative grassroots leader was upset about Ortiz speaking to the club and threatened to protest!
Very funny.
Reviews for the event were great. If you’d like Ortiz to speak to your local club, shoot us an email: tips@currentrevolt.com
Glad someone is watching.
