Three more Colorado politicians can’t go…here, anymore.
Three more prominent Colorado Democrats have been banned from entering Russia: Gov. Jared Polis, Attorney General Phil Weiser, and Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen.
As Colorado Newsline explains:
Three elected officials from Colorado are included on a new list that Russia’s Foreign Ministry released of 500 U.S. citizens banned from entering the country.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, Attorney General Phil Weiser and U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen of Lakewood, all Democrats, are named on the list alongside other government officials, journalists, professors and historians, and arms company leaders who have supported Ukraine…
…The Russian ministry’s statement said the new entry bans come as the Biden administration “regularly imposes personal anti-Russia sanctions … to create as much hardship for Russia as possible.”
Polis and Weiser were not exactly heartbroken by the news:
Polis, Weiser, and Pettersen join a long list of other local and national officials who have shown support for Ukraine amid the country’s invasion by Russia — and subsequently suffered the great tourism ban as a result.
Whatever you three exceptional public officials did to piss off Russia, congratulations, and thank you!
Add my boss from long ago, one David Skaggs to the list. He's in there as well.
I've always wanted to visit Russia, but now there will need to be regime change before I do.
Ditto!
