New Mexico governor denounces Trump’s comments
ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez denounced GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s recent remarks about Mexican immigrants and called his comments “horrible.”
After a news conference Wednesday on new state laws aimed at protecting abused children, the nation’s only Latina governor said she strongly disagreed with Trump’s comments that have drawn criticism across the country. Macy’s, for example, said in a statement the retailer is disappointed and distressed by Trump’s remarks, and it would no longer carry a Trump line of clothing for men.
“I think those are horrible things to say about anyone or any culture … anyone of any ethnicity,” said Martinez, a Republican. “I mean, that is uncalled for … completely.”
Martinez said she hadn’t been keeping up with Trump, but she expressed shock after learning about comments he made during his presidential campaign announcement.
