Eric Jones endorsed by activist with controversial social media history

Eric Jones, the Democratic candidate for California’s 4th Congressional District, has received an endorsement from activist Adina Flores. While the endorsement is centered on Jones’ platform regarding the sexual exploitation of women, Flores’ social media presence has drawn scrutiny due to inflammatory commentary.

Flores has used platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Substack to make various controversial claims. These include assertions that Jewish people control Sonoma County and the world through Masonic lodges, as well as accusations that Santa Rosa City Schools promote LGBTQ+ indoctrination.

Jones’ campaign has responded to the controversy by stating that the candidate firmly condemns hate toward Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities. A campaign spokesperson noted that Jones’ wife is Jewish and that the candidate has zero tolerance for hateful commentary toward his neighbors or family.
