In a bold move that’s backfiring spectacularly, New Mexico Democrat Gabe Vasquez is feeling the heat from the Fraternal Order of Police. The organization slammed Vasquez for deceptively using their logo in a recent taxpayer-funded mailer, despite their endorsement of his Republican opponent, Greg Cunningham.
Vasquez, who is fighting tooth and nail to retain his seat in New Mexico’s 2nd congressional district, resorted to what many are calling desperate tactics. This isn’t just a small oversight, folks; it’s a glaring deceit aimed at misleading voters on where the police stand in this critical race.
The Examiner reports that Vasquez’s mailer touted a supposed endorsement for legislation he introduced, presumptuously aligning himself with law enforcement. However, the Fraternal Order of Police was crystal clear in their communication: their endorsement lies with Greg Cunningham, a former Marine and law enforcement officer committed to real community safety.
"Democrats at Hakeem Jeffries' PAC panicking about Defund the Police Democrat @Gabe_NM Vasquez after fmr. Marine & law enforcement officer Greg @CunninghamForNM outraised Vasquez last quarter. Polling earlier this year shows a dead heat in #NM02," tweeted @bennpetersen.
This move by Vasquez might prove to be politically fatal. Already, Cunningham is outraising Vasquez, catalyzing concern among Democrat strategists. With polling indicating a tight race, deception of this caliber could tip the scales against Vasquez.
The New Mexico Fraternal Order of Police’s letter pulls no punches, emphasizing their discontent with the Democrat’s flagrant misuse of their logo. Vasquez's ploy only serves to highlight his vulnerability and the desperation underpinning his campaign.
American patriots need to ask themselves: Do we want leaders who manipulate the truth and deceive to hold onto power? The choice in New Mexico couldn't be clearer, casting Vasquez’s true colors as a misleading, deceitful politician unworthy of trust. Let’s stand by real integrity and the true allies of law enforcement.
