Because she's Native American, the Dem narrative is to call those opposing her confirmation as racist.

Call these senators on the fence asking them to oppose Haaland’s nomination:

CHAIRMAN — Sen Joe Manchin (D-WV) 202-224-3954 — EXTREMELY important

Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) 202-224-5941

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) 202-224-2235

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) (202) 224-5824

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) (202)-224-6665 — EXTREMELY important

Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) is also on the committee, however, he has pledged to vote for Haaland. Feel free to call his office anyway and share your dissatisfaction: (202) 224-5521

I wouldn’t bother. It takes 1 democrat. It points to Mancin. Then there’ Cassidy-there are backstabbers amongst us.

“We have not lost thousands of jobs in the oil and gas sector in New Mexico because there is no ban and because the industry stockpiled an enormous number of leases under the fire sale that Secretary Berhardt had at the end of the last administration. However, I want to say we do recognize that we will need to move to a fully decarbonized economy.

Bovine excrement! Not yet for drilling maybe, but permits for ancillary activities like roads, power lines and pipelines are not being processed or approved.

Update from The Piñon Post - NM Dems release frantic defense of Deb Haaland after confirmation hearing trainwreck:

After Haaland’s disastrous performance, the Democrat Party of New Mexico (DPNM) released a panicky statement, trying to bolster Haaland as “qualified” (of course) because she is a Native American woman. However, despite Haaland’s ancestry, she has nothing of achievement in the field of land or resource management that she can credit as her own other than taking extreme positions that will inevitably bankrupt New Mexico and the United States.

Here is what the Democrat Party of New Mexico released:

“Representative Haaland made it unequivocally clear today that her knowledge, passion, and experience make her the right person to take on the responsibilities of Secretary of the Interior,” said DPNM Chair Marg Elliston. “As a fierce advocate for New Mexico, Representative Haaland has shown that she can work across the aisle to enact the sort of forward-thinking policies that we need in our federal government. As this confirmation process begins, it’s clear that she will continue to make New Mexicans proud as a voice for all those who cherish and value our nation’s natural resources.”

Haaland is by no means a “bipartisan” member of Congress, voting 95% of the time with radical socialist “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over 95% of the time.

City people don’t drive much, if at all. They use public transportation, bike or walk. They DON’T CARE ABOUT GASOLINE PRICES OR HEATING COSTS.

She’s a liar, telling them what they want to hear. If she gets confirmed she will wreak havoc.

No matter what they say in front of cameras, they hate human beings. They plan to murder billions.

[rktman]

Oh, sounds like a shoe in.

She was at the NoDAPL protest in ND, so was AOC.

Another consequence of believing conspiracy theory garbage and killing the vote in the Georgia runoffs. Conservatives take responsibility for their failures and improve their work. I don’t see many conservatives among voters now.

Even moderate Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) took offense to Biden’s singling out of Alaska in his extreme “climate change” proposals. She said, “Why is this administration out to get us?”

Dumbcowski's constituents should retire her just for this alone.

She contributed to The Steal, and if she wasn't bright enough to figure out that Trump is 10,000 times better than DementJoe's puppeteers on the subject of Alaska's greatest wealth, energy, then she has no business in Theivington, District of Criminals.

Some of these nominees are for show. Biden (or rather whoever is really running things) nominates some super radicals, the Republicans object and pretend to fight, then these radicals withdraw, and Biden’s handlers nominate people who are just as radical but without a trail. Republicans then confirm the new nominees and can claim to us suckers back home that they prevented the worst of the worst from getting the job. It’s a big game.
