The Republican Party of New Mexico is angered that Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has not issued a statement regarding a top spokesman of hers calling Republicans a death cult, according to a Facebook post by the organization.
"It is obvious the governor wants no dissent, from inside or outside her Administration," the post states. "This current controversy arose when the Republican Party of New Mexico pointed out in a press conference, which included small business owners sharing their stories, that the governor is cozy with out of state corporate giants, the big box stores, while she is killing the little guy—the men and women who own small businesses across New Mexico."
The organization called Tripp Stelnicki's death cult tweet horrifying, insensitive and completely false, citing that the organization puts health and safety first in the COVID-19 pandemic.
"By the governor doing nothing after her Communications Director spewed such hatred and despicable statements, it's apparent these are her beliefs as well," Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce said in the post. "Our Party has always put health and safety first. New Mexicans are suffering, and if the governor won't rebuke her staff for such disgusting remarks, then they become her words."
