Trump-hating socialist who thinks America is a racist country running in CD-2 (NM)

On Wednesday, Gabe Vasquez, a far-left city councilor in Las Cruces, announced he is running for Congress in New Mexico’s Second Congressional District to challenge incumbent Republican Congresswoman Yvette Herrell.

Vasquez is a known socialist who is diametrically opposed to most values held by the district — values that ex-Rep. Xochitl Torres Small — tried to use to sway moderates. He is a far-left rabid partisan with some of the most extreme far-left views available.

Vasquez believes President Donald Trump’s southern border wall is an “insult” and he believes in the naturalization of criminal aliens into New Mexico.

Vasquez claimed that because President Trump was not convicted during the Democrats’ second impeachment inquisition in February, that the country is “deeply rooted” in “white supremacy.” With words like this, it is hard to see how any voters of President Trump would ever consider a vote for Vasquez, as some may have voted for Torres Small.

Vasquez even went so far as to claim Trump, his supporters, and his “enablers” were terrorists toward immigrants.

In June, during the George Floyd protests, Vasquez once again claimed the United States is systemically racist and the “systems” (referring to police) are “built on oppression. He wrote, “Black lives matter. Until we deconstruct and rebuild the systems of oppression that keep black people in perpetual harm, justice will not be served. That includes law enforcement, the economy, and the disgusting wealth inequality that keeps white rich men in power.”

In an unhinged op-ed, Vasquez even claimed his opponent, Congresswoman Yvette Herrell, should be “expelled.”

Vasquez’s extreme rhetoric appears not only out of step with the norms of the District but of New Mexico. Herrell’s leadership on multiple issues — despite being in the minority — shows her willingness to compromise, such as sending letters to Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. Vasquez on the other hand appears to be a rabid partisan with not much to offer other than constant hatred for President Trump and Congresswoman Herrell.

As voters in NM-2 know, Herrell won handily over Xochitl Torres Small, and Trump won the district also with the support of signs like "Vote Trump/Pence, your job depends on it." In the eight months since taking office the Biden administration is doing what it can to make that slogan come true with banning leasing on federal lands and making existing permit holders jump through more hoops to get approvals. Of course our oil and gas-hating governor is helping by having the environmental agencies regulating the industry develop more rules and regulations making it difficult for small operators with marginal wells to continue production.

I think this guy should go live in China or even Japan, I think he would change his mind quick.

Trump-hating Stalinazis are the Demonrat mainstream. Because our country is so racist, he should leave and move to Cuba or Venezuela where there is the glorious Marxist utopia awaiting him.

Vasquez must have been drinking from the arsenic laced wells in New Mexico.

1 in 5 wells are poisoned with it Az has it’s share too.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

But he won’t because he knows he wouldn’t be party of the ruling party.
Like he is here.

He’d be another schlub destined to slavery.
A “whigger”.

Party uber alles!

Well, it appears that Gov Abbott just got some good news, courtesy of Gabe Vasquez, a far-left city councilor in Las Cruces.

Start loading buses full of Haitians and start dropping them off in Las Cruces. Del Rio Bridge problem solved.

Gracia, Senor Vasquez.

But let me guess: The challenger has a big war chest, courtesy of Hollyweirdistan, the Clintons and...drum roll...Soros.

Torres-Small was one of the few RATS to win CD-2 in many years. Joe Skeen and Steve Pearce held this seat consecutively for a long time. CD-2 is probably about 60% Hispanic with most of them holding traditional family values.

If we ever have a right wing military coup all leftists such as this moron should be sent to the leftist country of their choice; I understand that China, North Korea and Cuba are nice — with the condition that they can never come back to the US.

And that election was a cheat. She lost on election night, then the next day they “found” thousands of votes. Xochitl Small never actually won that seat.

[Eleutheria5]

There you go again, telling the Big Lie!/s Quite a lot of that going around.

This nutzoid cockroach will probably be the district’s next Congressman then.

The lines are being redrawn to change CD-2 from a very marginally Republican district to one significantly more friendly to anti-American Democrat scumbags like this guy (or anyone else they run). And they can do this — Democrats have full control of the process — without any real risk that Republicans will pick off either of the other 2 districts.
