Left Wing Hispanic Group Attack on New Mexico’s Martinez Falls Flat

A liberal Hispanic group is attacking New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R.) for a close ally’s use of the term “Mexican affair” in emails planning inaugural events four years ago.
The New Mexico League of United Latin American Citizens (NM LULAC) has pounced on an email written by Amy Orlando, who succeeded the governor as district attorney and was helping to plan a victory party for Martinez.
In the email, Orlando said the celebration was to have a “black and white” scheme with a hint of pink. She also specified that there was to be “no Mexican affair.”
NM LULAC is attempting to say that the request for “no Mexican affair” shows that “ethnicity is only important to [Martinez] when she is running for office,” saying that it is disappointed that she “implied her embarrassment or lack of desire for a ‘Mexican affair.” The group also called the language used in the email “demeaning and inflammatory.”
The attack against the first elected governor to be both Hispanic and female, as well as the great-granddaughter of the man credited with firing the first shot of the Mexican Revolution, badly misses the mark.
The inaugural ceremonies celebrating Martinez had several rooms with different themes, including an entire area celebrating “Hispanic Heritage,” according to a report on the event in 2010.
The suggestion that the use of the term “Mexican affair” is offensive also seems to be a dud.

Susana Martinez is the Great Grandaughter of Mexican Revolutionary Toribio Ortega

Most Americans don’t know who Toribio Ortega was. But his name is very well known to Latin history buffs. He was one of the leaders of the 1912 Mexican revolution. What’s interesting is that he has a descendant who is a very accomplish individual. It turns out Susana Martinez is his great granddaughter. She is traveling to Chihuahua Mexico to view an unveiling of a statute dedicated to her ancestor.
Martinez is to attend a special session of the state Legislature on Monday in the town of Cuchillo Parado to commemorate the beginning of the Mexican Revolution.This is an amazing story. Clearly, her family was always very political. Just as her Great Grandfather rose up to fight an evil and corrupt regime in Mexico, Susana Martinez is fighting a corrupt regime in America.
She also will be present for the unveiling of a bust and plaque in honor of her great-grandfather, the esteemed Toribio Ortega. He was one of the initiators of the Mexican Revolution and is credited with firing the first shot in the revolt, according to Duarte’s news release as well as reports in most Chihuahua and Juárez news media and other sources.
This has happened before and will happen again.
