Defeated Republican charged with attacks on New Mexico Democrats

Solomon Pena, who lost a November state House of Representatives race, faces at least a dozen charges for masterminding Albuquerque drive-by shootings on residences of two county commissioners and two state legislators since Dec.4, according to the county prosecutor's office.

No one was hurt in the shootings, which followed sometimes heated arguments as Pena visited the homes of three county commissioners and state Senator Linda Lopez to allege fraud in a House race he lost by 47 percentage points, police said. Pena was annoyed no one was hit in previous attacks and told gunmen to carry out the shooting, which he took part in, earlier in the evening, according to the filing.

Police said a person involved in the conspiracy is cooperating with investigators. At least two gunmen are in custody. Pena, who has previously been convicted of felonies such as burglary, faces a 1 p.m. pre-trial detention hearing on Wednesday.Pena on Nov. 15 tweeted a photo of himself wearing a "Make America Great Again" sweatshirt and a message saying "researching my options" as he was not conceding his election.

George Santos, Republican candidate who won in New York, strikes me as someone who would have been charged with contracting gunmen to shoot at the homes of Democratic officials after he visited them to dispute his 2022 election...had he not liedso much n of course would have lost

GQP scum

Bummer

As a republican party supporter I am sad their apparatus was not able to filter and keep such losers out of the party. Feel sad and sorry for the democratic people who are attacked at home by this evil guy who belongs to jail forever.

Well at least he is going to a place he is familiar with. Prison.

They are REALLY sore losers.

Of course Republicans 🤣

THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!! REMEMBER, it was Republicans who stormed the Capitol on 1/6, it was Republican legislators who voted to negate millions of votes in the Presidential election, it was Republicans who tried to kidnap the Governor of Michigan, etc.

Welcome to the new GQP GOP

Guverner must respect federal law

this is the face of the Republican Party

I guess that's one way to dispute a stolen election

Was not expecting this! Clearly giving credit where it’s not due 😔

More Trump terrorists. The GOP are the party of violent anti American terrorism.
