SANTA FE – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Wednesday issued a statement regarding the riot unfolding at the U.S. Capitol:

“There is no place in our country or state for this,” said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. “This is beneath the United States of America. It is not who we are. I am sickened beyond words by the scenes from Washington, D.C., this afternoon. It is nothing less than domestic terrorism, enacted in an effort to overturn a free and fair election.
