Rep. Tim Leonard Compares Women's Rights Marchers to Nazis

  • 14 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols
Rep. Tim Leonard (R-Evergreen) shown here wearing jailhouse orange.

As Marianne Goodland reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, State Rep. Tim Leonard (R-Evergreen) is again making an ass of himself:

Republican state Rep. Tim Leonard of Evergreen is under fire for a Facebook post in which he compared women marchers to Hitler’s brownshirts, the Nazi militia members who began the campaigns of violence against Jews in pre-World War II Germany.

Leonard has two Facebook pages, one for his personal life and another for his political office and campaign. The Facebook page generating controversy is on the page that he uses to communicate with House constituents and supporters.

The post refers to a Washington Times article that poked fun at the Women’s March, which sent out a press release after President Donald Trump announced his pick for the latest U.S. Supreme Court vacancy. The press release said “Women’s March opposes XX,” leaving out the name of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Here’s what Leonard wrote, word-for-word:

I usually like to avoid national politics, but the insanity and incoherency of the “Women’s March” radicals has to be pitied. They are so angry, they cannot even think straight. They could care less who the Supreme Court nominee is, they resist everything everywhere all the time from this President. Who can even take them seriously? They have nothing to offer to any logical discussion of ideas. They are in the political arena just to cause chaos — like Hitler’s Brownshirts. [Pols emphasis]

Of course, the guy comparing women’s rights activists to Hitler’s Brownshirts is notorious for wearing his own unique colors. Leonard holds the distinction of being the only sitting lawmaker in at least 40 years in Colorado to serve time in jail while holding elected office.

Democrat Lisa Cutter is running against Leonard in HD-25.

  1. "I don't get into National Politics often."  Bullshit.  He posted so much stuff praising Trump on his legislative page.  People exercising their first amendment rights is like Nazis, but jailing children for no reason is okay.  Right Tim?

        1. Careful there. That's a little inflammatory, especially in view of our fearless leader's public pronouncement that there are some "very fine people" among white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

  2. The hubris to put it on his legislative page is pretty outstanding if it wasn't so normal for these whack jobs.  Hoping Leonard gets to spend more time with his estranged family after the first of the year.   How sweet would be if he loses to a female politician?

      1. According to Ballotpedia, Little Timmy won by less than 2,000 votes in a race where 50,000 votes were case (about 52%-48%). Of course, that was before Timmy became a jailbird and called women with the temerity to become politically active Nazis.

        1. The fact that he was going to jail came out within 2 weeks of the election.  Tammy came as close to picking up HD25 as any Dem had.  Hilary carried that district at the same time.  So, combination of moving leftward, stronger candidate recruitment and weak Republican incumbent could set up the perfect storm here.
