Gov. MLG, Dem officials proudly promote candidate who made racist anti-Navajo statements

On Saturday, embattled Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Sen. Ben Ray Luján, far-left Democrat state legislators, and others held a canvassing event for fringe Democrat state Rep. Melanie Stansbury who is running in Tuesday’s special election to fill New Mexico’s First District seat vacated by Deb Haaland who left for the Department of the Interior. 

Melanie Stansbury has come under fire for her racist anti-Navajo statements, telling displaced Diné workers to just sell “your art or your wool” after Democrats have decimated their jobs with extreme “green” legislation. 

Despite that, Deb Haaland, Joe Biden, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Ben Ray Luján, and other Democrat officials, such as state Rep. Javier Martinez (D-Bernalillo) and state Sen. Linda Lopez (D-Bernalillo),  have flocked to support her despite her alienation of Native American communities. 

On Twitter, Luján Grisham wrote, “Today we launched canvasses across #NM01. The special election to keep this district blue is on June 1st and we need your help to ensure we send @MelanieforNM to Congress.” 

“Thank you, Rep. Melanie Stansbury, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham & Cong. Pete Aguilar for energizing Westside voters for the final stretch of the CD1 special election! If you haven’t voted yet, today’s voting ends at 7 pm. Tues., June 1, polls are open from 7 am-7pm,” wrote state Rep. Joy Garratt.

“In our beloved south valley with our next Congresswoman, @MelanieforNM!” wrote state Rep. Martinez. 

Stansbury has been a Washington, D.C. staffer for the last nearly twenty years, moving to New Mexico in 2017 to run for a state House seat and consulting on the side for many eyebrow-raising outfits. According to state Sen. Mark Moores, the Republican nominee for the congressional race, “Stansbury’s original House Personal Financial Disclosure listed her as a “consultant” and receiving at least $5,000 for the TerraMar Project in Woburn MA (1). The TerraMar Project was founded by Jeffrey Epstein’s madame Ghislaine Maxwell who is currently on trial for sex trafficking teenagers.”
