A man in the US state of New Mexico has pleaded guilty to helping a defeated Republican candidate carry out drive-by shootings at the home of Democrats.

The defendant, Demetrio Trujillo, says the candidate, Solomon Peña, hired him after failing to win a seat in the state legislature in November 2022.

Over the following weeks, the residences of several Democratic officials were attacked in Albuquerque.

    When a companys employee commits a crime. The company and individual is responsible.

    When the Republican party commits crimes. No consequences to anyone but the individual.

    Seems like no one thinks there’s anything wrong here.

      I absolutely see something wrong with it and I insist that it is the President’s specific job and moral duty to protect America from domestic terrorist cults and he should absolutely declare the GOP a Clear And Present Danger and shut down their offices and their media outlets. It’s literally his job, but he wont because “lots of my friends are Republicans”.
