(N.M.) Mark Ronchetti is back on KRQE-TV 13

Former weatherman Mark Ronchetti is back on the air at KRQE-TV 13.
He quit to run for U.S. Senator as a Republican, saying things like:

"I stand with Donald Trump"
"I want to do for New Mexico what Donald Trump did for America"
"I'll bring Trump's healthcare plan to every New Mexican"
"Finish the wall"
"I'm pro-life, pro-gun"

Obviously he lost.

...and, in this guy's case, he seems to have completely misjudged the wind direction and strength.

Turned on KRQE and saw that Mark Ronchetti was back from his hiatus to run for senator in NM. A weatherman who doesn’t believe in the science behind climate change is not for me. Took me two seconds to switch to KOAT.
