For all of the various responses to Tuesday night's State of the Union address by President Trump -- including responses from Stacey Abrams, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Sen. Kamala Harris -- perhaps the greatest was delivered by New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Immediately after Trump's speech concluded on Tuesday night, Grisham tweeted the following video, which showed her taking Trump to task over his immigration stance and love of border walls by literally running through walls.

Amazing. And big props to Gov. Grisham for doing her own stunts.
The video appears to be a campaign commercial from her recent 2018 gubernatorial election. But Gov. Grisham did more on Tuesday to make her point than just pull a Kool-Aid man in a Twitter video.
Grisham also ordered the withdrawal of most of the New Mexico National Guard troops stationed at the border, ordered National Guard troops from other states to return home, and reassigned remaining National Guard troops stationed in border counties to "assist with the ongoing humanitarian needs of communities there, who have seen large groups of families, women and children crossing over the border in the remote Antelope Wells area in recent months."
In her statement, Gov. Grisham added:
“We will support our neighbors where the need for assistance is great, and we will offer a helping hand when we can to those vulnerable people who arrive at our border, but New Mexico will not take part in the president’s charade of border fear-mongering by misusing our diligent National Guard troops. We will deploy our men and women in uniform only where there is a need, and where their presence can make a genuine difference in ensuring public safety and an easing of the humanitarian concerns at our southern border.”
New Mexico shares 180 miles of the border between the United States in Mexico, more than California (140 miles), but less than Arizona (373 miles), and Texas (1,241 miles).
But while the state's border may only be a small portion of the total, it's clear Gov. Grisham wants to send a big message that has an even bigger impact.
