Failed Republican candidate arrested in shootings targeting Democratic politicians’ homes
Albuquerque police on Monday arrested the man they say is the “mastermind” behind a recent string of shootings targeting Democratic lawmakers’ homes.
The suspect, Solomon Pena, is a Republican who unsuccessfully ran for office in November, has made repeated claims that the election was rigged and appears to have attended the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in Washington, D.C.
‘Pena’s candidacy came under scrutiny over the summer when Garcia filed a court challenge to disqualify him because he had been convicted in 2008 of stealing large amounts of goods from several big box retail stores in a reported “smash and grab” scheme.’
The number of straight up criminals running as GOP politicians is growing exponentially.
It’s like criminals are able to recognize each other and flock together.
Also an election denier:
Pena lost the election by more than 3,600 votes, garnering 2,033 votes to Garcia’s 5,679.
In frequent postings on his Twitter account, Pena, 39, has maintained that he didn’t lose and that the election was rigged.
I can’t wait to see how republicans fault Hunter Biden’s laptop for this.
Failed GOP Candidate Arrested In String Of Shootings At New Mexico Democrats' Homes
Police in Albuquerque, N.M., arrested Solomon Peña, a former Republican candidate for the state House of Representatives, on Monday in connection with multiple shootings at local Democratic politicians’ homes, authorities said.
Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina said Peña is accused of conspiring with and paying four other men to shoot at the homes of two county commissioners and two state legislators. He was arrested after a brief standoff with a local SWAT team.
Waiting for MTG and Steve Bannon to claim that if it had been them, they would have finished the job.
This is normal now.
There will be no outrage nor condemnation from the GOP, and many will support and defend this behavior, advancing and normalizing this type of political terrorism for future candidates.
Republicans inspire violent acts, they want more of this. I'm just surprised it hasn't happened constantly yet, though it will likely ramp up over time.
