Apparently it was on Texas Public Radio:

"I’m not antisemitic. In fact, my last serious relationship was with a Jewish man," Galindo said, as reported by The Times of Israel. "I’m against Zionist Jews. When I said that the Jews who own Hollywood are doing this, do all Jews own Hollywood? No. The Zionist Jews do. The Zionist Jews own our media, our banks, and all of our politicians."

Unfortunately, Fox News seems to be the only source I can find for this now so I dunno...

That said, in context, I can see that she probably meant that "I'm not against Jews, only Zionist Jews. Which makes sense.
