The Republican Office of New Mexico’s headquarters in Albuquerque was intentionally set on fire in an act of arson.

If you know something about how this happened, no you don’t.

    Possibly the grossest thing about all this, is how the RNC wasted no time trying to turn this into something it’s not.

    Those who resort to violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable

    While in principle I agree, nobody was hurt. That’s because this was arson, not assault.

    Today, we see the same dangerous tendencies play out in new forms—attempts to suppress free speech, silence dissent, and use fear to control the political narrative.

    Ironic, no? Nevermind the whataboutism regarding the old DNC and GOP roles back in the early 20th.
