ALBUQUERQUE, NM - The Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM) today issued a call for civility and unity as the state braces for mass anti-Trump protests planned for this weekend. This comes in the wake of a firebombing at the RPNM headquarters, and a series of harassing and threatening phone calls the Party has received. Despite these acts of intimidation, the RPNM remains steadfast in its stance, promoting peace and constructive dialogue among New Mexicans.

“The Republican Party of New Mexico stands resolute in calling for all New Mexicans to rise above the division and unite in civility while exercising their First Amendment rights,” said RPNM Chairwoman Amy Barela.

The party has made available voicemails received at its headquarters, which include threats and inflammatory language.

And furthermore, I listened to some of your representatives or, uh, let’s see, Amy Barela, Republican Party of New Mexico Chairwoman complaining on, on TV about how, oh, this has got to stop.

Oh, my, we can’t have this.  Well, you motherf—ers should have thought about that before you attacked the capitol on January 6th.  You should have thought about that before you elected a tyrant for a president who is taking out his personal revenge on anyone that writes an article against him.  Who the f— do you, sorry, sons of b— think you are.

Do you think that, oh, what’s good for the goose? Ain’t good for the gander? Well, I got news for you motherf—. You are just beginning to see the tip of the iceberg. The American people have woke up to your lies, your bulls—, your fascism, your racism, your bigotry, your misogyny, and electing a g—damn orange sociopath who has violated the constitution and his of office and federal court orders.

So let me tell you something. You motherf—ing b— you don’t like what’s happening? Ha, Ha Ha!  Get ready. F—wads. You haven’t seen anything yet.”
