When the 2026 General Election comes around, it will mark 12 years since the last time that a Colorado Republican was elected to a major statewide office (Republican Heidi Ganahl won a statewide race for CU Regent in 2016, but that doesn’t fit under our definition of “major”). That drought is not likely to end […]
If at first you don’t succeed, lie, lie again. The Trump/Vance campaign for President/Vice President seems to be following this playbook one week after Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump was roundly mocked for saying in a debate with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were stealing people’s pets — cats, […]
Jesse Paul and Brian Eason of the Colorado Sun report today on the aftermath of last week’s special session of the Colorado General Assembly, called by Gov. Jared Polis to pass legislation on property taxes intended to mollify backers of a pair of highly irresponsible ballot measures that would have, if passed, posed a serious […]
Sometimes, to paraphrase the old saying, the content writes itself–like this announcement for a “garden party pot luck meet and greet” event for Rep. Lauren Boebert coming up early next month at the no-doubt lovely home of Evelyn Zur at Parker’s swank Pinery Country Club: It looks to us like this could be a photo […]
Republicans in Colorado have had trouble winning elections for a long time now. There are a lot of reasons for these failures, but perhaps none as persistently problematic as Republican refusals to actually listen to what voters are telling them. To be fair, this isn’t just a problem for Republicans in Colorado. Nationwide, for example, […]
As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, former University of Colorado visiting conservative scholar and current attorney representing the Colorado Republican Party John Eastman reported to Fulton County Jail today for booking on his range of Georgia felony charges related to the strategy allegedly masterminded by Eastman to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election: […]
(Shout out to the Pols’ community! — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Thank you to Pols for inviting us to post this diary. Speaking with the author, she asked that I toot her horn for her. Regular Colorado Pols contributor notaskinnycook wrote a self-help book for the spouses of transfolk about a decade ago and it […]
As everybody knows, politicians like to write books–or at least have books published under their name to which they contributed enough to claim the credit. Most of those books do not go on to become best-sellers, and usually wind up in the bargain bin at Walmart within a year or two. But as Forbes’ Zach […]
(So you don’t have to — Promoted by Colorado Pols) You get a sense of what’s coming in U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) new book, My American Life, when the jacket cover brags about her voting to “oppose the presidential electoral certification.” And a blurb from Trump promising that after “reading her story, you will […]
For some of you, today is an opportunity to be better. Our readers won’t panic, since blogs were meeting their doomscrolling needs long before Facebook.
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A spokesperson for a prominent Denver Metro Republican club says it won’t remove a post featuring the Proud Boys and QAnon from its Facebook page. Formerly known as the North Suburban Republican Forum, the Forum has served as a local club of the Colorado GOP encompassing Adams County and the broader […]
As the New York Times reports and you doubtless already know, Facebook’s appointed Oversight Board yesterday declined to lift the company’s ban on former President Donald Trump utilizing the platform, directing the company to clarify its rules and come back in six months for another review: A Facebook-appointed panel of journalists, activists and lawyers on […]
From time to time in this space we’ve discussed the, uh, antics of Republican Jim Pfaff, the former Chief of Staff for Colorado House Republicans under former House Minority Leader Patrick Neville who was known mostly for threatening fellow Republicans. When last we mentioned Pfaff in November 2020, he had just sent out a strange press […]
Axios reports, Republicans in Congress led by Colorado’s Rep. Ken Buck are leaning into the ongoing debate by Facebook’s external Oversight Board over whether or not to rescind the ban imposed on former President Donald Trump, following the failed January 6th insurrection Trump rallied and incited: The board is taking comments on whether it should […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Colorado Times Recorder reporter Gabrielle Bye. Former Mesa County GOP Second Vice-Chair Mark McCallister has submitted signatures to be a candidate in the April 6 Grand Junction City Council race. This may not seem super newsworthy at first glance, but it is for us at the Colorado Times Recorder, where […]
(Rate this room or you hate America – Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a brief virtual interview with a local Colorado Springs news station last night, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) offered viewers a glimpse at some of the books on the bookcase behind his desk. Most prominent among the visible titles is “Take No Prisoners” […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It appears that some Colorado Republicans are presenting themselves as mask wearers on public communications platforms, but being less diligent in the real world. Take, for example, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), who’s trying to appeal to moderate mask-lovers–and, and at the same time, fire up his mask-hating conservative base to […]
From the high-commission conservative fundraising site Freedomfy–that’s right, kids, Jon Caldara has a piece of the action–comes a preview of an upcoming Very Important Self-Published Book™ written by a hefty group of Republican lawmakers and hard-right local activists just in time for the 2020 election season: UNMASKED2020: Colorado’s Radical Left Turn and a Warning to […]
CNN reports on a relatively rare act of accountability from social media megaplatform Facebook, after the site finally deleted a post from President Donald Trump containing misinformation (polite for “lies”) about the COVID-19 pandemic–the so-called “Committee to Defend the President,” run by former Colorado state Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch, has had its paid […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Otero County, Colorado, Republican Party Chair Stephanie Garbo, who posted on Facebook May 28 that the George Floyd video might have been staged, took down her entire personal Facebook page over the weekend, after the Colorado Times Recorder published a story about her posts. Despite writing in May that she’s “ready […]
The chair of the Mesa County, Colorado, Republican Party says he’s going to “tighten the posting policies” on the organization’s official Facebook page after an item appeared on the site Monday, and was subsequently removed, speculating that George Floyd’s death was staged. “It’s already been removed, and it’s gone,” Kevin McCarney, chair of the Mesa […]
As the Greeley Tribune’s Cuyler Meade reports–voting against every coronavirus relief bill, sometimes almost alone, slamming stay-at-home orders to slow the pandemic while deaths from COVID-19 skyrocketed in his home Weld County, mocking basic best practices like wearing masks and avoiding mass gatherings, and plenty more examples of outrageous irresponsibility we didn’t even bother to […]
The leader of Denver’s Republican Party, Kristina Cook, told fellow Republicans this week that if they “need to be vulgar, to disparage your fellow man simply because he loves another man (or she loves another woman) — either keep it to yourself or leave the party.” Cook issued the statement after Democrat Pete Buttigieg dropped […]
(Very fine people – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Facebook, Google, and Wells Fargo are all prominent sponsors this year’s conference of a Koch-funded network of right-wing think tanks and advocacy groups, several of which promote far-right beliefs, including Islamophobia, homophobia and sexism. Facebook is giving branded travel mugs to attendees of the 2019 State Policy […]
(Stay classy, Tom Tancredo – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Just three days after the death of his former congressional colleague U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD7), Tom Tancredo posted an meme mocking the man’s death and calling him a liar. Tancredo routinely posts inflammatory images and statements on social media, but this meme, attacking a fellow […]
