Larry Mizel loves him some Donald Trump.
As the Denver Post’s Mark Matthews reports:
Pete Coors and Mike Shanahan, a pair of giants in Colorado beer and football, are two of several boldfaced names planning a Friday fundraiser for Donald Trump to coincide with the Republican candidate’s visit to the state that day for the Western Conservative Summit.
While the names on the host committee may suggest a Sunday-tailgate kind of affair — Coors is a longtime beer executive and Shanahan used to coach the Denver Broncos — the entry fee to the presidential fundraiser is decidedly more expensive than what one would find in the parking lot of Mile High stadium…
Longtime Colorado kingmaker and political donor Larry Mizel also is listed as a co-chair.
Pete Coors, and especially Denver Republican kingpin Larry Mizel, hosting a fundraiser for the most controversial Republican presidential nominee since Barry Goldwater are the clearest signs we’ve seen locally of the attempt to make “legitimate” Republican politics safe for Donald Trump. It’s a most debatable question whether the damage widely expected to the Republican brand from Trump’s campaign will “trickle down” to those who put their own names on the line to support him.
Ordinarily we’d say a man of Mizel’s means and influence–influence that results from the means–can get away with anything. But Trump has a way of proving people wrong, often in ways that are damaging to one’s credibility. Hopefully one our state’s most legendary Republican powerbrokers doesn’t get burned.
Of course, Mizel will always have The CELL.
Fuck Larry Mizel. He's exactly what's wrong with America. Unaccountable two-faced right-wing douchebag that polite society sucks up to because he's filthy rich.
Fuck The Cell, too. Fuck fear mongering.
I'm thinking you share my distaste for this type of egotist that uses their money for alleged charities, museums etc. that prominently feature their name. Trump puts his name on everything, but at leaat he doesn't claim it's philanthropic. Geffen Hall at the Lincoln Center is a prime example. I guess they all aspire to be Carnegie or Rockefeller.
And the Colorado Statesman, of which Larry Mizel owns controlling interest?
Did I mention that Larry Mizel can go fuck himself?
Back to the boycott.
And might I add a sincere "Fuck you, Shanahan" and remind people of this country's ridiculous obsession with sports and stupid hero worship of anyone who can throw or catch, or tell someone else how to throw or catch, a ball.
I'm sure Elway will making a show of his racist self.
Shanahan, you are a disgrace and embarrassment to Colorado and our Bronco's team. As for Larry Mizel, shocked. Coors – good job in ruining your family's company name.
