Activist Adina Flores Endorses Democrat Eric Jones Amid Controversial Anti-Jewish and Anti-LGBTQ Rhetoric

By Drooid · · How we work

Core Event

Activist Adina Flores, a self-described “civil-rights” advocate with more than 144,000 Instagram followers, publicly endorsed Eric Jones, the Democratic candidate for California’s 4th Congressional District. Flores’ endorsement highlighted Jones’ pledge to support survivors of sexual misconduct, but her social-media posts simultaneously allege that “the gay Jewish mafia” controls local institutions in Sonoma County and denounce LGBTQ-related curricula in public schools. Jones’ campaign has faced pressure to clarify whether it shares Flores’ extremist views.

Background & Context

She claims to be a former government employee who was “forced out” over COVID-19 mask-mandate policies and describes herself as a “whistleblower.” In addition to her anti-Jewish conspiracy claims, she accuses local schools of “pride indoctrination” and links both major parties to “the Freemasons.”

Official Statements & Responses

Jones’ own campaign materials list three priorities: ending corruption, lowering the cost of living, and promoting resource sustainability, and the campaign has secured endorsements from progressive groups Indivisible and Our Revolution.

Verbatim Quotes

  • “But we’re literally run by the gay Jewish mafia — the Zionists in Sonoma County. The Jews still run the world. That’s where we’re at,” — Adina Flores
  • “Evil Jews run the world through Masonic Lodges,” — Adina Flores
  • “If your child is in public school, please remove them because they’re going to be gay and r-tarded.” — Adina Flores
  • “I got started in my activism because I am a former government employee.” — Adina Flores

These excerpts illustrate Flores’ conspiratorial language and self-characterization as a government whistleblower.

Data & Statistics

  • Flores’ Instagram following: >144,000 users.
  • Jones’ campaign endorsements: Indivisible and Our Revolution, organizations linked to Senator Bernie Sanders.
  • No evidence in the sources indicates that Flores receives payment for political advocacy.

The endorsement places Jones under scrutiny as voters and media assess whether his platform aligns with mainstream Democratic values or is being leveraged by an activist whose rhetoric includes anti-Jewish and anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theories.
