Despite Red Flags, G.O.P. Backed Candidate Now Charged in NM Shootings

[BidenPresident]

ALBUQUERQUE — The former Republican candidate accused of targeting the homes of Democrats in drive-by shootings had routinely called for locking up 2020 election officials in Guantánamo Bay. He promoted conspiracy theories about solar power, feminism and “the demonic theories of the Globalist Elites.” He had been demoted twice by the U.S. Navy and served nearly seven years in prison for burglary.

Yet powerful party leaders in New Mexico not only gave the first-time candidate, Solomon Peña, 39, full-throated endorsements, they also opened their checkbooks to fund his race for a state legislative seat in central Albuquerque long held by Democrats.

GOP interviews Pena: How do you feel about guns?
Pena: Love them.
GOP: You're in.

If Republicans only nominated candidates who did not have major red flags, there would be very few Republican candidates.

Government is corrupt. Therefore, elect corrupt people for government. Sound reasoning.
