GOP apologizes to governor for vulgar Facebook post
The Republican Party of New Mexico has apologized to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham after a volunteer posted a meme on the party’s Facebook page Tuesday night that used a vulgarity to describe the first-term Democrat.
“We had given temporary editing privileges to a volunteer for a specific event,” the party wrote on its Facebook page after removing the meme. “Unfortunately, this person inadvertently posted something to RPNM’s page. Their privileges have been revoked permanently. In no way would RPNM post something so inappropriate. We want to apologize to the Governor and anyone else who is offended by this.”
The governor’s spokesman, Tripp Stelnicki, said he appreciated an apology from the Republican Party on its official Facebook account.
“I have no doubt they wish it hadn’t been posted from there,” Stelnicki said via text Wednesday. “I wonder whether they agree with the unbecoming sentiment and I would hope they do not, but that’s for them to answer.”

This meme was posted, uncensored, on the Facebook page of the Republican Party of New Mexico before being taken down. The party said it was mistakenly posted by a volunteer.
