Republican Party Picks Viral Creator as Keynote | Santa Fe News
Description
New Mexico’s GOP is making waves by booking viral YouTube provocateur Nick Shirley as keynote speaker at their Statesman Dinner — a move that’s ignited fierce debate. Once hailed as an “independent journalist” exposing media blind spots, Shirley’s claims of daycare fraud have been widely debunked, earning him scorn from Democrats who call him a “social media grifter.” Yet the GOP sees his massive online following as a golden ticket to energize younger voters and independents. Joining Shirley will be gubernatorial nominee Greg Hull and other candidates, all rallying for the 250th anniversary of American independence. Tickets? $250 a pop. Meanwhile, both parties scramble to raise cash and sway voters ahead of November’s pivotal elections.
