Gov. Susana Martinez has been all over the news today apologizing to the people of New Mexico and saying, “It was my mistake, and I own it.” She’s also insisted she wasn’t intoxicated during “the incident,” which happened recently when a late-night noise complaint was made while the governor was at a holiday party in a Santa Fe hotel.

We told you, the governor insists she wasn’t drinking — “except at the very end I think my husband got me a cocktail and that was it.”

Gov. Susana Martinez knows nothing about a bottle thrown from a hotel balcony but if it was it was 6 hours ago https://t.co/TCet27vx8H

Shorter @Gov_Martinez: 'No one's throwing bottles now, just 6 hours ago.' She sounds drunk on phone. Entitled jerk.
