    "A failed candidate for the New Mexico state House described by police as an "election denier" was arrested Monday in a string of shootings at the homes of state and local Democratic leaders.

    Republican Solomon Peña is accused of conspiring with and paying four men to carry out shootings at the Albuquerque-area homes of two Bernalillo County commissioners and two state legislators, Albuquerque police said. No one was hurt in the shootings."

    Oh, look at what the GOP is into now. I wonder if this guy is related to Santos or Trump.

    It seems like every week we get a new instance of republican politicians committing major crimes from election fraud to now attempted murder.

    Stay classy

    This guy should be thrown under the jail. It’s New Mexico so he probably won’t be out in time for dinner tonight like if this was Illinois.
