Albuquerque, November 15—The Republican Party of New Mexico would like to point out that a member of the Republican Party circulated a bogus email in an effort to boot Chairman Steve Pearce and Executive Director Kim Skaggs from their offices. 
 
It’s dismaying that two major New Mexico newspapers reported on this phony email without any verification. The media has the responsibility to check and confirm facts and at least try to contact the author of such a message before publishing.
 
RPNM has combed through records, voter rolls and has checked numerous sources, but there is no record anywhere of a James Navarette. So bogus was this message that the author even misspelled the phony name at the bottom of the email—Navarrette. 
 
The email, sent to hundreds of people affiliated with the Republican Party of New Mexico, launched unjustified attacks on Pearce and Skaggs. This was simply a cowardly smear campaign, a weak, juvenile effort to undermine Pearce, Skaggs and the RPNM.
 
It is possible that this bogus email came from a disgruntled party officer with personal political aspirations in mind. RPNM’s State Central Committee members will elect their next Chairman and officers in Las Cruces next month.
 
“Hiding behind such a fake email and criticizing the RPNM Executive Director, who has donated an entire year of her time to the party, is a despicable act,” said Pearce. “It’s dishonest, seedy and shows a nadir of character. I can accept fair criticism, but this sneaky tactic of an email under a pseudonym is about as cowardly and low as you can get. RPNM has built a good management team of elected officers, is building solid county infrastructure in many counties and is set to appear in front of the New Mexico Supreme Court in January to argue the case against the egregious gerrymandering that Speaker Brian Egolf and the progressive Democrats passed through the last legislative session. It is my intent to run again for Chairman of RPNM to continue to build the party.”
 
“To see your name dragged in mud like this was horrible,” said Skaggs. “And to hide behind a phony email to get out a message like this was disgraceful. I suspect this email came from someone who is thirsty for his own political power and really doesn’t care about the values, principles and mission of RPNM.”
The Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM) advances the ideals of individual liberties for the advancement of its citizens and the greater prosperity of our communities throughout New Mexico. Led by an Executive Board and its Chairman, former NM Congressman Steve Pearce, RPNM serves all New Mexicans via its headquarters in Albuquerque and can be contacted at (505) 298-3662.

    Ah, Republicans of many stripes all acting like MAGAts. A slimy dissident cheated to attack officers, and the officers whine like wounded cats about it.

    Nobody needs to smear RPNM “leaders” because they do a great job of that already, by their silence about Trump team’s crimes and their failure to condemn the attempt to torture Speaker Polosi.

    The smear themselves every day by not trying to analyze–in this space to their loyal members–the thumping Dems gave them last week; they smear themselves by not saying what they learned and how they will change strategy. Executive Director Skaggs lost her race in her home district, for heaven’s sake, and they won’t even open a conversation about it.

    The slimy cheater is right: RPNM needs real leaders.

    • Respect the Constitution says:

      So your for the 1st amendment but not the 14th? Respect the whole Constitution.

    • Tough on crime says:

      Coupy Griffin and all those seeking to stop the rightful transfer of power, throw out the vote and destroy American democracy should be hung.

      When people show you who they are believe them the first time. Conservatives should not get a second shot at killing American democracy. It’s time to get tough on crime and hang traitors high.

  • JH Cole says:

    Nine days after and still no guts to explain the big losses!

  • Conservative advisor says:

    Kristin,

    Something I have learned from years of being a conservative is if life is not going your way a poor person or a racial minority is probably to blame.

    Sincerely,
    Conservative male

      All I am suggesting is that to race worship can be a form of idolatry that the bible warns humans about. Humans are imperfect, and God is perfect. That is something that I have learned along the way.
