Albuquerque, NM - Today the Republican Party of New Mexico released the following statement regarding Presidential Candidate Donald Trump's rally at the Albuquerque Convention Center and the Democrat-funded riots:

"The huge crowd of supporters in attendance speaks to the success we expect Republicans to have here in November. We're pleased that Trump has visited our state and recognizes the importance of New Mexico's votes," said Republican Party of New Mexico Spokesman Tucker Keene. "The riots funded and organized by far-left agitator groups like ProgressNow New Mexico reflect poorly on our state. The Democrat Party of New Mexico should be ashamed to have supported their efforts. We cannot reward their violent behavior and will stand in unity against their disruptive and unproductive actions."
