The Republican Party of New Mexico was hit by what appears to be a terrorist attack at its headquarters in Albuquerque on Sunday. A fire broke out in the building after an unknown person or persons threw a Molotov cocktail (a crude homemade bomb) at the building, causing a fire, and vandalized it with spray paint.
The attack comes on the heels of numerous other terrorist attacks on Republicans and supporters of Donald Trump, particularly those who own Tesla electric automobiles or those who have American flags outside their homes.
Tesla is a car brand developed by Elon Musk, who President Trump has put in charge of downsizing the government through the Department of Government Efficiency.
Trump, himself, was the subject of at least two assassination attempts last year.
Sunday’s assault occurred just before 6 am. Albuquerque Fire Rescue responded to a structure fire at the building on San Francisco Road NE. It took only about five minutes for firefighters to extinguish the blaze, but significant damage was done to the entryway and smoke damage was found throughout the building, which was not occupied at the time. The letters “ICE=KKK” were sprayed on the building, indicating the attack was politically motivated.
Republican Party Chairwoman Amy Barela condemned the attack as “a blatant attack not just on our party, but on the values of freedom and democracy we stand for.”
Barela said in a statement: “This is not an isolated incident. It is part of a disturbing pattern of politically motivated violence that has plagued our country—fueled in part by the silence and implicit encouragement from progressive leaders who refuse to condemn these acts. Their failure to stand against political violence has created an environment where attacks like this are not only possible but increasingly frequent.
“We are deeply relieved that no one was harmed in what could have been a tragic and deadly attack. Those who resort to violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable, and our state leaders must reinforce through decisive action that these cowardly attacks will not be tolerated. We are working closely with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), local law enforcement, and federal investigators. We are committed to providing every piece of evidence necessary to bring those responsible to justice and ensure they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We will not allow New Mexico’s broken criminal justice system to dilute the seriousness of this attack,” she said.
The Republican Party of New Mexico will not be silenced, Barela said.
“We will emerge from this stronger, more united, and more determined to fight for the people of New Mexico and the future of our country. Let us not forget: it was the Democrat Party that once supported the formation of the KKK, pushed Jim Crow laws, and defended slavery. 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. Our fight is not just for our party—it’s for every New Mexican who wants a safer, freer, and more accountable state. We will never back down,” Barela said.
The investigation into the attack includes local fire and police, as well as the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
National GOP Chairman Michael Whatley issued a statement about the attack: “I’m grateful no one was hurt and look forward to the perpetrators being held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Whether it’s vandalizing Tesla dealerships or burning GOP HQs, the Left is completely out of control. Every Democrat who doesn’t condemn violence like this is responsible for it.”
But the Democrats are, in fact, following the directions of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who said that after Trump was elected, they would fight Trump “in the streets.”
And it’s not even summer yet.
Where is the FBI? These are organized actions, with whoever is in control crossing state lines.
Our FBI enabled the BLM and Antifa terrorists for years. The riots, the FBI observed, and protected the organizers, but failed to intervene.
We need a new federal law agency as the FBI is too corrupted and political to “reform”.
After the FBI took down Capone & the other old time gangsters, it should have been disbanded; mission accomplished.
But instead a dishonest man (J. Edgar) ran it as his own kingdom for decades (w/ his boyfriend)
AND what is that ridiculously ugly building taking up an entire block downtown for?
Does it have to be right in the middle of tourist downtown? (how about out on Elmore somewhere)
I heard one of the families that runs ANC owns it and rents it to the Feds (I smell T. Stevens in this)
How much arson, bank robberies & kidnappings does AK have?
Not enough to justify that ugly eyesore.
New Mexico is a dark blue state. Avoid it at all costs. Instead, go to Utah, Arizona, or Texas.
Utah, the home of Mitt Romney, and Arizona that consistently steals elections while the Republicans do nothing. Texas, home of the Bush family cartel.
Fact is there are decent Americans everywhere, while real Republican politicians with carachter and a spine are mythical creatures.
Using your logic people should also avoid Alaska, which is, for all practical purposes, a deep blue “state”, yet there remain decent people.
It’s simply the bent of donor interests that control each state, like mafia families.
Yep, and all the decent Alaskans read MRAK.
Arrests better be made on this one, we need to see something happen like we were promised.
The spray painting was done with the use of a stencil, showing it was premeditated and likely funded by the same folks who fund virtually all left wing causes…US taxpayers.
Odd the attack was executed on Sunday, when it was likely few if any people would be there. Will be interesting to see where the investigation leads.
They just missed the Tesla parked out front.
Pure 100 proof terrorism, straight up, no chaser.
Behold the much-vaunted yet illusory “tolerance” of radical leftist extremists.
Who are in fact little more than toddlers who throw tantrums when they do not get their way (one assumes that they no longer wear diapers, although some of the older ones definitely are back into them).
The warriors for the oppressed are not so noble and selfless as they claim. Neither are they singularly motivated by the ideals of “inclusivity,” “equity,” and “diversity.” They’re as greedy, vicious, prejudiced, and hateful as the alleged oppressors they accuse.
The “social justice” crowd has only ever cared about acquiring power and influence, creeping toward this goal via emotional blackmail, intimidation campaigns, and even violence. They simply disguise their self-interest in the language of “justice” and altruism, all the while plotting new ways to seize for themselves the “privilege” and “power” they envy in others.
The team that claims it cherishes “inclusivity” and “diversity” more than anything else has embraced terrorist violence and its mission to annihilate those who disagree. They’ve effectively become acolytes for evil.
The “social justice” types don’t actually oppose hateful language and dangerous rhetoric. They don’t care about equity and inclusivity. Attempts to censor speech, dogpiling nobodies for even the most banal “microaggressions,” physically intimidating ideological opponents — these are nothing more than exercises in raw power, some pointed and some simple exertions of control. These are the methods by which they elbow out, shut down, and eventually destroy altogether those with whom they disagree and those whose destruction could provide them and their kind with more opportunities and “privilege.”
And it’s both right and just to strip the “oppressor” of his “power” and “privilege” “by any means necessary.” This is the stated goal of the social justice movement, as expressed in increasingly explicit terms over the years.
