ALBUQUERQUE, MAY 12—The Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM) rebukes Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's alarmist claims made on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, where she resorted to fearmongering about federal Medicaid cuts. While she attempted to paint a dire picture to deflect from her failures, her own secret efforts to divert New Mexico's tax dollars to healthcare for non-citizens jeopardize Medicaid access for our state's most vulnerable citizens.
In response, RPNM Chairwoman Amy Barela issued the following statement:
"Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's recent interview on Face the Nation was nothing more than fearmongering dressed up as leadership. What she didn't say is just as dangerous as what she did. The truth is, New Mexicans are at greater risk today because of this Governor's continued decision to put illegal immigrants ahead of our own citizens.
