Martinez Apologizes for Behavior at Hotel

New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) apologized for the behavior of her staff at a rowdy holiday party and for her testy conversation after police were called, the Santa Fe New Mexican reports.

Said Martinez: “I want to apologize for the conduct of my staff the night of our holiday party. There was apparently a party in a hotel room earlier in the night that was disruptive. Someone was also throwing snowballs from a balcony. None of that should have happened and I was not aware of the extent of the behavior, until recently. And that behavior is not acceptable.”

She added: “I also want to admit that I made a mistake when I went to speak to the receptionist and asked her about the complaint. I should not have gotten involved… I was wrong to speak with them like that, and I apologize.”
