The party characterized the act as part of a growing trend of politically motivated violence across the U.S. and suggested that progressive leaders’ failure to condemn such violence has contributed to an environment where these kinds of attacks are becoming more frequent.

“Their failure to stand against political violence has created an environment where attacks like this are not only possible but increasingly frequent,” the statement from the RPNM read.

In the statement, RPNM Chairwoman Amy Barela expressed relief that no one was injured in what could have been a tragic attack.

She emphasized that those responsible for acts of violence aimed at undermining the state and the nation must be held accountable.

“We are deeply relieved that no one was harmed in what could have been a tragic and deadly attack. Those who resort to violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable, and our state leaders must reinforce through decisive action that these cowardly attacks will not be tolerated,” she said.
