New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) is no longer scheduled to appear at the North Carolina state Republican convention in May, but her office is hastening to say that the schedule change is not a protest against North Carolina’s anti-LGBT law.
“She has a scheduling conflict and will be in New Mexico that day,” spokesman Chris Sanchez told the Santa Fe New Mexican.
The North Carolina GOP announced earlier in April on its Facebook page that Martinez would join the convention, and the schedule on the party’s website initially listed indicated that Martinez would attend a dinner at the convention on May 7, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican. But Martinez’s name no longer appears on the convention schedule.
North Carolina has seen an intense backlash against its new sweeping anti-gay law, but a spokesman for Martinez said that she did not cancel her appearance due to the law.
Oh great! Now who are they going to get to throw empty tequila bottles down on the peasants?
She only just yesterday found out that the day she was scheduled to be in North Carolina was the day the New Mexico state house’s cafeteria would be serving up their All You Can Eat Chalupa Especial Muy Mas Famoso for which they are held in the highest regard.
It has nothing to do with that fa–LGBT bill. She is just going to have drunken parties in NEW MEXICO hotels before she takes her act on the road.

I love the sound of that phrase first thing in the morning.
@marcinmin As chair of the whoopee bar, she would serve only 1 1/2 drinks to everyone, which is what she said she drank in the course of a few hours. At a drunken revelry.
I actually suspect this scheduling snafu is more the other way around…that the republican party doesn’t want her making public appearances for awhile.
She crashed and burned with that whole incident.
