ABOUT 15-HUNDRED PEOPLE GATHERED FOR A RALLY IN SANTA FE MONDAY NIGHT TO PROTEST AND CONDEMN THE WHITE SUPREMACIST “UNITE THE RIGHT” RALLY THAT WENT VIOLENT IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA SATURDAY. MANY MARCHERS CARRIED SIGNS AND THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL SAYS SOME EVEN TRIED TO SPOTLIGHT RACIALLY TINGED INCIDENTS HERE IN NEW MEXICO.
MEANWHILE, SENATORS TOM UDALL AND MARTIN HEINRICH HAVE BOTH SPOKEN OUT AGAINST THE CHARLOTTESVILLE VIOLENCE. UDALL PUT OUT A STATEMENT DENOUNCING THE HATE AND VIOLENCE OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS. HEINRICH CALLED THE VIOLENCE “SHOCKING” AND ACCUSED PRESIDENT TRUMP OF BEING “RETICENT TO CONDEMN WHITE SUPREMACISTS FOR WHO THEY ARE.”
