Attention Colorado Republicans: You Are "Human Scum"

And gentle readers, don’t take our word for it–The Hill:

President Trump on Wednesday excoriated so-called Never Trump Republicans as “human scum” as he seeks to solidify Republican support of him amid an ongoing impeachment inquiry.

He singled out his administration’s special envoy to Ukraine, William Taylor, who a day earlier sat for closed door testimony with those lawmakers the impeachment inquiry and delivered damaging testimony about the White House’s efforts to pressure Ukraine for political purposes.

“The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats,” Trump tweeted. “Watch out for them, they are human scum!” [Pols emphasis]

At the mere mention of “Never Trump” Republicans, here’s a Tweet from President Donald Trump that should have sent a chill down the spines of Colorado Republicans. Longtime readers will recall why:

After Colorado Republicans elected a slate of Ted Cruz delegates to the Republican National Convention in 2016 as a protest against what was by that point close to a foregone conclusion, “Never Trump” briefly became an involuntary battle cry for Colorado Republicans. Somebody with access to the Colorado GOP’s official Twitter account fired off the above jubilant message shortly after Cruz’s big win here, and even though it was deleted moments later nobody ever forgot it–including, by all accounts, President Trump.

The good news for Colorado Never Trumpers, and you know who you are, is that a second chance at redemption is coming.
