Just so you know, this story gets a PG13 Rating for language unbecoming elected leadership. From the New Mexico Independent:
Lujan angrily denounced Smith and called him a “racist S.O.B.” and “full of s**t” for making the accusation. Lujan said he amended the bill to merely help a constituent.
Smith’s accusation that Lujan had acted suspiciously so enraged Lujan that he confronted the senator on the Senate floor in the middle of news media interviews.
“You are full of s**t,” Lujan said to Smith. “You have anything to accuse me of. Why didn’t you come and tell me to my face or at least make the phone call?”
Smith responded, “I’m glad you feel that way, Speaker.”
