House Republicans Trying to Oust Minority Leader

UPDATE: Seriously, just look at this…

Hugh McKean survives in a 15-8 vote. So that means for all this fuss McKean actually has 2/3 support of his caucus.

Shortly after the Colorado lawmakers concluded the 2021 session, House Republicans including Rep. Ron Hanks and Rep. Dave Williams initiated a challenge to House Minority Leader Hugh McKean.

Very brave of them to wait until after the end of the legislative session.

Alex Burness of The Denver Post is following this raging dumpster fire live on Twitter:

Minutes after the session ends, the House GOP is having a caucus meeting where Rep. Ron Hanks is blasting the minority leader, Hugh McKean, and complaining that the caucus was ineffective this year.
