New Mexico’s governor literally runs through walls in response to Trump’s border wall

New Mexico's governor literally runs through walls in response to Trump's border wallFor all of the various responses to Tuesday night’s State of the Union address by President Trump — including responses from Stacey Abrams, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Sen. Kamala Harris  — perhaps the greatest was delivered by New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

Immediately after Trump’s speech concluded on Tuesday night, Grisham tweeted the following  video, which showed her taking Trump to task over his immigration stance and love of border walls by literally running through walls.

Amazing. And big props to Gov. Grisham for doing her own stunts.

The video appears to be a campaign commercial from her recent 2018 gubernatorial election. But Gov. Grisham did more on Tuesday to make her point than just pull a Kool-Aid man in a Twitter video.

Grisham also ordered the withdrawal of most of the New Mexico National Guard troops stationed at the border, ordered National Guard troops from other states to return home, and reassigned remaining National Guard troops stationed in border counties to “assist with the ongoing humanitarian needs of communities there, who have seen large groups of families, women and children crossing over the border in the remote Antelope Wells area in recent months.”

In her statement, Gov. Grisham added:

New Mexico shares 180 miles of the border between the United States in Mexico, more than California (140 miles), but less than Arizona (373 miles), and Texas (1,241 miles). 

But while the state’s border may only be a small portion of the total, it’s clear Gov. Grisham wants to send a big message that has an even bigger impact.
