Nobody on earth should be surprised that Albuquerque police have arrested a loser Republican for the shootings over the last month at New Mexico Democrats' homes and offices.
Police in Albuquerque on Monday announced the arrest of a failed candidate for state Legislature in a string of shootings at locations associated with high-profile Democratic leaders.
Republican Solomon Peña is accused of conspiring with and paying four men to carry out four shootings at the homes of two Bernalillo County commissioners and two state legislators.
Two other shootings previously believed to be linked to the case so far have not been connected to the suspect, police said at a news conference early Monday evening.
On Jan. 9 police announced the arrest of another suspect in the case and said they took possession of a firearm possibly used in one of the shootings.
But on Monday, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina described Peña as the initiator of the shootings.
"It is believed that he is the mastermind behind this," he said at Monday's news conference.
Peña was arrested by a SWAT team in the Albuquerque area Monday, the chief said. Ballistics evidence from one of the shootings connected the case to the suspect, Medina said.
So yeah, a Republican who lost paid people to terrorize the Democrats who won.
Sounds like a terrorist conspiracy to me, which should land Mr. Peña in prison for several decades. Let's see what Merrick Garland and the DoJ decide to do here. He made dozens of Twitter references that his election loss was "fraud" and "stolen."
Then he paid people to shoot up the homes and offices of the Democrats who beat him.
Remember, the Republican response to a Democratic win is to attack it legally...and illegally.
