At a Saturday town hall in Santa Fe where U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-CD-3) called for followers to “agitate” against Republicans, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Trump administration in general, she is now trying to save face following the firebombing of the Republican Party of New Mexico Headquarters early in the morning Sunday.
At the town hall, Leger Fernandez told the crowd, “Legislate, litigate, agitate! And you guys are part of the ‘agitate’ part.”
The inciting words were widely seen as a call for violence, mainly because they were not qualified in any way to ensure this agitation was done legally or peacefully.
Her comments come in the wake of violent domestic terrorists torching Tesla vehicles at dealerships, including on tribal land in New Mexico, where Teslas have been seen vandalized following CEO Elon Musk’s advisor role to President Donald Trump.
After the inflammatory language, violent domestic terrorists committed arson at the state GOP headquarters in Albuquerque, effectively blowing up the main entrance, causing smoke damage throughout, and wrote in a stencil on the stucco outside, “ICE = KKK.”
Many hours following the terror attack, Leger Fernandez wrote, “Political violence is unacceptable, including the arson attack on New Mexico’s GOP headquarters. The perpetrators must be held accountable. Every American should be able to freely and safely participate in our democracy.”
She added, “At my town hall yesterday, I spoke about love in action—about the importance of showing respect and listening. That is what we need right now.”
The Democrat conveniently left out the part where she called her supporters to take to agitating those who disagree with them by antagonizing conservatives — resulting hours later in a violent arson attack that could have left people injured or killed.
One X user wrote on Leger Fernandez’s post, “Uhm… You called for people to ‘agitate’ against Trump, Musk, Republicans, conservatives, and others with whom y’all disagree. Stop lying.”
“You told them their role was to agitate. They did exactly what you told them to do. Step up and bluntly say you were wrong and to NOT cause destruction and harm. This is on you. Fix it,” wrote another.
One person added, “[Y]ou incite it at your rally then deny, gaslighting liar. you don’t represent me or NM.”
They won’t do anything or try to find those that did this. If they are caught, they won’t receive any punishment…its NM.
Luckily patriots control the feds now, so I imagine Pam Bondi will have a boot up their rot pockets
You own it, Teresa Leger Fernandez.
You are so right Paul.
This was a mostly peaceful firebombing.
Right?????? You nailed it.
Shining a light on the darkness of evil in NM.
The “EVIL” is half of America in the form of the Democrat Party. Realize that we are in a civil war. If they keep this up it will go HOT. We are at a point where we must push back HARD. Lock and load Patriots and be prepared.
Remember when Trump called for supporters to “peacefully and patriotically protest”. and all hell broke loose in the media and the left. Now Teresa Leger Fernandez calls for people to “Legislate, litigate, agitate! And you guys are part of the ‘agitate’ part.” Then when the GOP headquarters was firebombed she won’t own it? Well, we are in New Mexico folks. This kind of thing is un-punishable if said by a democrat. It’s time to get rid of all these liars and gaslighters, before someone gets killed by their actions and words. The democrat party here in NM from Fernandez all the way up to our evil witch governor Grisham have got to GO. The sooner the better.
If only people would take their heads out of the sand and open their eyes to the evilness that has permeated the round house… When people wake up and start voting out these crazies and ungodly people will NM start to heal.
Republicans always have to watch what they say, cause if something happens after they say anything, the democrats will come after them for “violent rhetoric” that causes violence and mayhem. But the democrat don’t have to watch what they say cause nothing ever happens when they actually do what they are accusing Republicans of. Teresa Leger Fernandez, you should be ashamed of yourself and resign. The sooner the better.
Robert you are so right. She ought to resign.
Robert, Why does the Rep. Party need to watch what they say?
Because, Mario, as Robert said: “if something happens after they say anything, the democrats will come after them for “violent rhetoric” that causes violence and mayhem.”
She is a terrorist no doubt about it. The Democrat party is Evil and Corrupt and must be reduced to nothing. 🇺🇸
Exactly!!!!!!
She should be censored by the majority republican house , who only seem to spout rhetoric and are always short of action. Waiting for her fellow marxists in power here in NM to disavow her inflammatory rhetoric would be asking too much. All of our “leaders “ have proven themselves incompetent to govern and I’m sure all of them agree with her threats to the republic. Of course the mainstream media will be there to mitigate her speech, in essence covering up for the “misunderstanding “ ?
Democrats do not play nice. They are rude, corrupt, evil intentioned and so much more that is counter productive to freedom.
The only way to stand up to a bully is to bully back. When Republicans respond, it needs to be with gusto and truth. It is long past time to turn the other cheek.
The blatant outward attacks have gone too far. Someone could have been hurt or killed in this act. The actual people behind this act will not be charged, but the foolish lackey will pay the price like the sacrificial goat.
New Mexico, Do Better! This is not acceptable!
Rev. Rico
NM is slowly turning into a crappy state. It is run by the democrat party that does support violence against all others as long as they are not the once to go to jail. There democrat judges will ensure if someone is caught, tried and convicted will get off with a light sentence. Unless folks stand up NM will be just like California, high taxes, poor management, poor schools, druggies living on our streets, homelessness, heck, I think we are a mini California! I guess it might be time to move.
Slowly?! No, NM, like all deeply corrupt states is riding the bullet train. Full speed ahead. I hate this place more every day.
She said, “AGITATE” and now on KRQE a statement against Political Violence so what then does “AGITATE” mean if not against a Political opponent in her context? ALSO, MLG statement the same BUT LET’S RECALL that she held a conference on DOMESTIC TERRORISTS and their side came to mind but she, and the panel, were focused on MAGA WHITE SUPREMACISTS. NOW THAT THEIR SIDE COMMITTED THIS ACT OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM… IS THAT PANEL GOING TO SPEAK UP??
MY SUSPICION… Bikes were used. Who would bring a car that can easily be identified unless they’re really dumb considering all the cameras… so a bike, masks, all black, then riding Jefferson to the south to the Pino Trail… goners… BUT they surely couldn’t keep the LARGE STENCIL used and the paint cans so they dumped them IN THE ARROYO. SO, that trail goes behind buildings that surely have cameras since it is hidden from the front so a thief would use the back, so cameras. NOW GET THAT FOOTAGE at the 6am time frame. ALSO, they could have ridden to their car that HAS A BIKE RACK SO LOOK FOR THAT TOO. NOTICE THEY DID IT ON A SUNDAY WHEN ALL THOSE BUSINESSES ARE CLOSED IN THE ENTIRE AREA.
Teresa my dear Congress representative from New Mexico, you are no better than the swamp in DC.
The other Congress member Melanie Stansbury who held up the sign “ This is not normal” in front of Trump’s face and ripped from her hands thanks to a fellow Texan.
I respect the first amendment, but there is a difference between a peaceful protest and inciting physical violence to a person or property.
What isn’t normal is the vile behavior of the democrats. It’s either their way or you are castigated.
Voters wake up to this senseless, angry assault on innocent people.
Democrats are protecting their one party rule in New Mexico.
Gallup is a “F”ing joke!!! What is she doing for the community she supposedly lives in? Nothing, absolutely nothing!!! These demoNAZIs need to be called out and KICKED OUT!!! When is New Mexico going to wake the “F” UP?
One word comes to my mind!!!!
DEMONRATS.
The snakes will be out next Saturday April 5 at 1 Civic Plaza and all over NM and other states to protest. Hands Off event, be aware and be informed.
Doge discovered illegals registered to vote in Wisconsin plus illegals that had voted. That is also happening in NM for sure. Or, let’s face it. Gabe Vasquez CD 2 would not have won.
Have any of you read the Sunday Albuquerque Journal section on how your legislators voted in Washington. You don’t need to read it because all they do is go lock-step with each other and the democrat party. This (I won’t call her individual) because she just goes along with the party. She wants to belong so they can keep giving her money so she can keep the seat. She doesn’t care about New Mexico, she like all the others just want to act like they are for the people. HORSESHIT….
We need someone from the Republican Party who is serious about
representing New Mexco and the 3rd District. The last two republican candidates who ran against her were so not ever seen. They never came to my town or county, or even heard them on radio or TV. So if the RPNM of NM doesn’t get it’s act together we will have her in Washington again.
The people are the Republican Party, they need to help candidates get elected. It takes a lot of volunteers and especially these days a lot of money. Do your part and start the process
IF NM isn’t careful the democrates will elect her as our next governor! Republicans, we need to stand up and make your voices heard. We have to stop this lunacy and start voting common sense people onto our State government and to represent us in Washington.
The job of the Federal Marshals is to investigate those who are enemies “from within”…where are they.
Looks like her choices are either resign or face the same kind if impeachment we saw inflicted on the current president
