(Jewish Group) Candidate's account links Jews to vaccines, mocks Mexicans
A social media account for Audrey Trujillo, the Republican candidate for secretary of state, has shared tweets mimicking a Spanish accent and suggesting Jews had outsized influence in the development of COVID-19 vaccines.
In an interview Monday, Trujillo initially said the tweets were fabricated, perhaps by antifa activists in Santa Fe creating fake accounts to embarrass political opponents.
But after confirming the profile in question was hers, she suggested her account may have been hacked and – if it wasn’t – that the tweets weren’t intended to be racist.

Trujillo said she is Hispanic and has Jewish heritage.
