Rep. Angélica Rubio (NM House District 35) speaks out on racist cartoon on KTAL 101.5 LP


This morning Rep Angélica Rubio phoned into KTAL's La Politica New Mexico program, arguing that the cartoon "normalizes" racist remarks made by President Trump about Mexican immigrants.  the cartoon depicts a White couple being assaulted by gun-toting thieves while the Husband says "honey, I believe they would prefer to be called Dreamers or Future Democrats."

The cartoon, by an out-of-state syndicated cartoonist, appeared in the ABQ Journal last week.  The Journal has subsequently apologized for running it.  Joe Monahan this morning (click here) wrote the Journal is increasingly out of touch with New Mexico.
