Breitbart.com generally covers national news, so when they aim their sights on a state, you know it has to be big news.
New Mexico's gubernatorial race between Mark Ronchetti and Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham caught their attention yesterday after a Ronchetti ad focusing on the release of 700 convicts was released.
Here's the ad:
The Breitbart article begins with:
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) helped free 700 convicts in the state’s prison system in the last roughly two years, a new ad from Republican Mark Ronchetti details.
While locking down New Mexicans in the middle of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, Grisham signed an executive order in April 2020 that allowed her to easily free hundreds of convicts from state prison under the guise of slowing the spread of the virus.
As a result, Grisham freed about 700 convicts from state prison from April 2020 up until last month. Ronchetti, Grisham’s gubernatorial opponent, released an ad detailing the massive jailbreak agenda — noting that one of the convicts freed by Grisham was involved in the largest fentanyl bust in American history.
When this began happing, people in New Mexico wondered, How is releasing convicts aiding in stopping the spread of COVID-19? Wouldn't people be better off if they remained incarcerated to contain the spread of the virus within the prison population?
To be charitable, it was a stupid move by the governor.
