Former Republican candidate Valentina Gomez appeared to charge the microphone at an event for Muslims at the Texas state Capitol on Tuesday.
Texas Muslim Capitol Day is a one-day event with a rally outside and meetings with local officials. It also includes prayer, training, and a lunch for those who attend.
In a video posted by Texas Monthly senior writer Robert Downen, Gomez "just charged the mic to call Muhammad a pedophile, and there are two dudes holding signs that call Muslims unclean, yelling at children."
He also posted a photo of the "street preachers" with the signs. They were wearing t-shirts that were also insulting to Muhammad.

These "days" at the Capitol are traditional for all interest groups and faith traditions.
Family Matters: Faith Days at the Capitol, for example, was on Sunday, March 16, while Texas Faith and Family Day at the Capitol was March 6. They welcome fifth-place swimmer Riley Gaines, who complained that a transgender person tied with her for fifth place during the 200-yard NCAA freestyle championship in March 2022.
"Two state reps told me this Muslim group was supposed to get on the Texas House floor as part of a resolution honoring today Muslim Day at the Capitol (as is done for all sorts of groups)," said Downen. "But for reasons I’m still trying to pin down, the resolution didn't move forward."
