The tweet’s author, Tripp Stelnicki, has not commented on the fallout yet.

“You don’t have to ask the death cult their opinion or publish their quotes,” Stelnicki wrote Thursday on Twitter. “False equivalence now is actually life or death. There is no ‘both sides’ to this. There is one group preaching accelerated illness & death because they ‘love’ ‘business’ & if you can’t see through that?”

“In a press release, the New Mexico Republican Party stated: ‘This outrageous tweet, suggesting that Republicans want to get more New Mexicans to contract COVID-19, is shocking and disgraceful. The tweet shows to what lengths the Governor’s Office will go to scare the public and politicize the pandemic.’

“But a spokesperson for the governor told the Santa Fe New Mexican that Stelnicki’s tweet ‘does not reference any person, group, or organization specifically by name,’ adding that ‘if someone seems to think it’s about them, I’d say they’ve placed that upon themselves.’”
