THE HEAD OF THE DONA ANA COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS STEPPED DOWN FOLLOWING CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS HE MADE ON THE PARTY’S FACEBOOK PAGE. ROMAN JIMENEZ HAD SAID THAT VIOLENT LEFTIST PROTESTERS WERE GETTING WHAT THEY ASKED FOR FOLLOWING THE WHITE SUPREMACIST RALLY IN VIRGINIA THAT TURNED DEADLY.
THE STATEMENT WAS DENOUNCED BY MANY PROMINENT NEW MEXICO REPUBLICANS.
