Cunningham's Collateral Damage Controversy | Santa Fe News

In a fiery political showdown in New Mexico’s 2nd District, Democratic rivals are accusing Republican candidate Greg Cunningham of equating protesters with “collateral damage” after ICE agents killed two Americans in Minnesota. Cunningham, a 20-year law enforcement veteran, insists he was referring to undocumented immigrants caught in the crossfire of violent crime evasion — not innocent bystanders. He also clarified he doesn’t call protesters “anarchists,” but rather acknowledges a small group of agitators exploiting First Amendment rights. Democrats refuse to back down, branding his comments as MAGA-aligned and urging voters to judge for themselves — while Cunningham demands they retract their accusations, calling their response “manufactured outrage.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
