From Fox News Latino May 20th:

Early next week, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump will make his first campaign stop in New Mexico — the state with the highest percentage of Hispanics in the country and whose GOP Latina governor has had harsh words for the real estate mogul.

His campaign website announced Thursday that Trump will hold a rally Tuesday evening at the Albuquerque Convention Center as New Mexico prepares for its primary two weeks later, on June 7.

New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, the nation’s first Latina governor and a rising star within the GOP, has openly criticized Trump’s statements about Mexican immigrants and Mexico. He has vowed to build a wall along the border and last year he compared Mexican immigrants to rapists and drug dealers.

Martinez has urged comprehensive immigration reform and asked candidates to tone down their rhetoric amid strong anti-immigration sentiment from some fellow Republicans.


So Martinez attacked Trump first. Trump fought back.
