Dems now victim-blaming NM Republicans after firebombing hate crime

In a show of complete shamelessness, New Mexico Democrats are blaming the victims — the New Mexico Republican Party and GOP officials — for being the target of a violent arson attack that blew up the entranceway to the Albuquerque headquarters. Rather than condemning the political violence outright, Democrats are inflaming tensions and inciting further hostility by recklessly targeting GOP leaders like Reps. John Block (R-Alamogordo), Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park), and Republican Party Chairwoman Amy Barela. Their dangerous and provably false rhetoric not only undermines the gravity of the violence but also puts these officials at direct risk.

While the FBI and ATF investigate the fire as a suspected arson — with fire-starting materials recovered from the scene — Democrat leaders have chosen to escalate, not de-escalate. State Democrats issued a press release loaded with inflammatory claims, including the absurd accusation that Republican lawmakers had been part of a crowd “calling for murder.” Not only is this untrue, it’s libelous, as pointed out by Rep. Lord. 

Rep. John Block — who is the editor and founder of the Piñon Post —was not even present at the event in question, and despite repeated attempts by Democrats to link him to the January 6 Capitol incursion, he never set foot inside or near the building nor participated in any violence. His presence at a peaceful rally attended by 53,000+ other peaceful Trump supporters — miles from the Capitol steps — appears to be another tired and debunked attempt to tie him to violence.

Chairwoman Amy Barela made clear during a Monday press conference: “This was not just an attack on our building. This was an attack on our values, our free speech, and the right of every New Mexican that wants to participate in the democratic process without fear.” She also revealed to Fox News that the targeted attack was being investigated as a hate crime.

But instead of standing with those under threat, Democrats doubled down. Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez, whose words to “legislate, litigate, agitate” were cited by Republicans as dangerously timed mere hours before the firebombing, dismissed concerns with shocking callousness. 

In comments to KOB 4, she accused Republicans of hypocrisy for condemning violence instead of apologizing for her call to “agitate,” claiming, “It’s ludicrous to have Republicans, who themselves have participated in violent protests, to accuse me of inciting violence.” She added, “We actually passed the sign of peace” at her town hall — an empty gesture in light of the inflammatory language she used just before the GOP headquarters went up in flames.

Leger Fernandez’s attempt to turn the blame onto Rep. Block — lying that he was involved in violent protests — further inflames the situation and spreads outright disinformation. These reckless allegations endanger GOP leaders by portraying them as instigators of violence when, in reality, they have consistently and unequivocally condemned it, including the January 6 unrest.

Instead of answering the call to stand above the violence they have inflamed, Democrats released a memorandum weaponizing the tragedy to smear GOP leaders with fabricated associations to extremism, referencing long-debunked connections and even citing the crimes of individuals wholly unrelated to the party’s current leadership. The memo accuses Chairwoman Barela of turning a blind eye to extremism simply because she has appeared in photos with GOP figures like Voice of America chief Kari Lake and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene — a clear attempt at guilt by association rather than substantive critique.

Rep. Stefani Lord called the Democratic Party’s allegations “libelous,” and Sen. Nicole Tobiassen said their claims are “desperate.”

In the face of a violent attack, New Mexico Republicans have called for unity, calm, and a return to civility. Democrats, however, have responded with personal attacks, misinformation, and what amounts to political gaslighting — accusing their opponents of the very behaviors they themselves are fueling.

Rather than take responsibility for inflaming tensions, Rep. Leger Fernandez and her allies are engaging in dangerous victim-blaming — further endangering those already under attack. If Democrats genuinely oppose political violence, they should begin by ceasing the kind of reckless rhetoric that invites it.

  1. After the far left acosted John & Stephanie in the round house this is just more hate. Perhaps President Trump needs to have a federal investigation into this matter. That a US representative could make such inflammatory statements and then say it was Republicans fault shows her lunacy.

    1. Both sides need to put those fingers in their holsters. 1st New Mexicans have watched our communities change with open borders, our schools become indoctrination centers, and watch our administration pander to hollywood and the pot industry. Those are the reults of demcratic rule in N M.

      1. Whoever “they” are they’re doing a great job of getting the citizens to turn against each other instead of “them”. HATE HATE HATE along with TDS.

    2. Dems are the equivalent of evil…..
      Most are on the take if not all and it will be found out in the coming months, The failed leadership of New Mexico has been going on for years, especially when taxpayers have to pay for a governor that likes to grab crotches but not that of her husband….

  2. NMRP, Pay attention to this warning shot and the way they are deflecting blame. You must stand up and stand up strong against this. Be smart, violence is not required, but they are scared.

    New Mexico, Leger Fernandez’ behavior is despicable. This is a true reflection of every democrat in Washington and in Santa Fe. Burning down businesses, threatening violence and further destruction, as well as blaming Republican Politicos here in NM for Jan. 6 is rather asinine.

    Do Better New Mexico!

  3. Democrat voters dont care. they turn a blind eye. They are told where and when to protest, who to hate. they follow the orders to the T.

  4. How do you reason with someone who’s irrational. You don’t, you can’t. That is the mindset of the democratic party. They’re a party of hate, violence, hypocrisy and malice, they have no respect for the dignity of Life , Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
    The Biden open boarder policy brought in the despicables…now infiltrating our cities with crime….and the democrats are promoting more violence…
    What you permit you promote….What you allow you encourage…What you condone you own…What you tolerate you deserve…God help us.

  5. You’re watching the destruction of the demoncrat party! They’re losing their minds because of the new executive order concerning our elections and are acting like caged wild animals. They KNOW they will lose all across America with this EO. The only way they’ve won the last couple of decades is because of voter fraud. Violence is always their MO because that’s who they are and they’ve proved this over and over again. The demoncrats have managed to bring their approval rating down to the lowest level in history! 27% They’ll keep this up until they will not win another election for decades.

  6. The Democrats love playing the blame game and God knows their lies
    They have nothing but hate tow can play the game I have barred from home many of my friends because they vote Democrat MLG and all state Democrats are liars and crooks

    Ohh Ohh Ohh… I got a great idea John! We print up thousands of posters with the imprint:

    “Why Cant we just all get along?”

    With maybe a portrait of George Floyd below it…

    That’ll teach them pesky anti GOP Violent M*’ers.

    No one has figured out how to address the VIOLENT DNC Communist’s who have taken over the State. No one.

    Even now, the GOP releases condemnation of the DNC sponsored “antagonists” propaganda…and the DNC then flips the switch and blames the GOP for the actual violence…and the State local MEDIA FEEDS OFF THAT REVERSE FRENZY…

    Amazing.

    Then the DNC will call for new laws, like banning unauthorized car shows in Law Cruces, Banning the gathering of more than 4 GOP members at more than one time, and Outlawing all guns or any public display of affection for a handgun.

    Tell my John… Who (is winning) aka (has won) this fiasco? 27% approval of the DNC is not the real truth in our State. The truth is, DNC support in NM is still more than 60%. This support factor fact proves beyond all reasonable doubt… Fixing stupid is impossible with the status quo…and really fixing it permanently is gonna hurt.

    Hey, I’m betting the goober sitting on the tolite seat in Santa Fe in the Goobenors mansion has got another 10 million bucks of taxpayers money that can build another abortion clinic in Lordsburg too distract ya’ll from all this…violence.

    Maybe put another anti litter commercial with some off the wall actor on the boob tube and shove another mill or two in their direction will do it…

    Sarcastic BTW… yeah its sarcasim…

    1. Someone has figured out how to beat the DNC in NM. Noone wants to listen though…

      Otra Vez, Otra Pendejo…

      smh – yeah sarcasm… lol

  8. Where’s the RNC with $10,000 plus for A REWARD. END THIS AND FOCUS ON THESE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. Call MLG and see if she pitches in since she had her conference on DOMESTIC TERRORTS… WELL HERE IT IS!

  9. It seems to me that the democrats are trying to set up conditions for their own Kristallnacht. Boy, talk about who the Nazis are among us.
