Image by 9NEWS via Twitter After weeks of speculation and woefully inadequate press coverage, 9NEWS finally got Rep. Mike Coffman personally on the record, that is not via a surrogate, on the question of whether he would support Donald Trump in the increasingly likely event Trump wins the GOP nomination. As you can see, although […]
UPDATE #2: Senate Minority Leader Lucia Guzman’s hilarious response to today’s opinion–hilarious if you’ve seen Senate President Bill Cadman’s original below, that is: —– UPDATE: The Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins: Whether to reclassify the program isn’t a novel idea this year. Last year, the state’s Democratic House Speaker brought forward a bill, late in the […]
Being the largest conservatively owned/published/printed fishwrap in the state, the Colorado Springs Gazette has always been a preferred platform for local Republicans and Conservatives to spread their goodwill. And, being one of the most persistent overachievers on the Republican side, Mike Coffman has often been the recipient of The Gazette’s benevolence: Since August 9, [2006] […]
As the Colorado Independent’s Susan Greene reports, GOP Attorney General Cynthia Coffman had a bizarre “Twitter meltdown” last week following the interview of the mother of Dylan Klebold, of one of the perpetrators of the 1999 Columbine High School mass shooting: Ted Zocco-Hochhalter — father of a student who was paralyzed in the 1999 rampage — didn’t […]
(So much verbal diarrhea – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last month, Rep. Mike Coffman wrote on Facebook that Obama is the “real recruiting tool” for terrorists, not GITMO. Coffman: “President Obama wants to close GTMO because he thinks it’s a recruiting tool for terrorists – the real recruiting tool is a President who seems more concerned […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: The press release below asks Rep. Mike Coffman to take a stand one way or the other on Donald Trump, but at the very bottom of an obscure paywalled story in the Colorado Statesman right after the Iowa caucuses, it does appear that Coffman was already on the record–at least […]
Rep. Mike Coffman spoke last night at the Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab (CELL) in downtown Denver, a personal propaganda vehicle “training initiative” of wealthy Denver Republican funder Larry Mizel. In the course of which this unfortunate photo of Coffman escaped into the wild: This is why you 1. have podiums or 2. make sure all photos are […]
A press release from Morgan Carroll’s campaign announced her not-surprising-but-still-noteworthy selection for help as part of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s coveted Red to Blue campaign: “Morgan Carroll is a third generation Coloradan, a fighter, and a proven advocate for hardworking families,” said DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Lujan. “From lowering healthcare costs, to supporting small […]
Say what you will, but the headline above is 100% accurate. Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) was recently interviewed by Alex Gangitano for Roll Call as part of a feature the newspaper calls “Take Five” — a quick Q&A with a Member of Congress featuring questions that aren’t intended to be hard hitting journalism. This actually happened: Q: What is your favorite […]
We’ve been anticipating the first story from the new collaboration between Denver’s ABC affiliate 7NEWS and the Pulitzer Prize winning fact-checking resource PolitiFact operated by the Tampa Bay Times. Last night, Politifact Colorado debuted with its first fact check of 2016, and it’s a doozy: powerfully validating a key attack on Rep. Mike Coffman from women’s advocacy […]
Numbers are in for the all-important CD-6 race in the 4th quarter of 2015: BREAKING: @coffmanforco raises $313K, @MorganLCarroll rpts $277K in Q4. His COH: $1M, hers: $452K https://t.co/hyLCclTMz5 #copolitics #coleg — Ernest Lee Luning (@eluning) January 26, 2016 We can start with the obvious, incumbent GOP Rep. Mike Coffman did outraise his Democratic opponent […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week, the National Review posted a collection of anti-Trump opinion pieces written by conservatives, like Commentary Editor John Podhoretz, who hammered Trump’s “repellent assertion that the first black president needed to prove to Trump’s satisfaction that he was actually an American.” Podhoretz: The cultural signposts Trump brandished in the years […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After President Obama’s State of the Union Address, KOA host April Zesbaugh gave Rep. Mike Coffman another chance to offer a thought or two about Donald Trump, when she pointed out that Obama had talked “little bit about ignoring political hot air, likely a comment about Donald Trump or maybe Ted […]
Appearing on KOA 850-AM’s Morning News Jan. 13, Rep. Mike Coffman first said he doesn’t “see anything happening on immigration reform” in Congress this year. Then he told radio host April Zesbaugh, “Certainly, I’ve worked hard in my congressional district to break that narrative” that “Republicans are anti-immigrant.” So he declares immigration reform dead and […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) There’s a local angle on Obama’s comment last night that “some of the only people in America who are going to work the same job, in the same place, with a health and retirement package, for 30 years, are sitting in this chamber. For everyone else, especially folks in their forties […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a blog post last year, I showed that Rep. Mike Coffman has voted a total of six times to defund Planned Parenthood, a move that would stop 2,200 low-income women from going to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Coffman’s own Aurora district. Then last week, Coffman voted again to defund the women’s […]
Below is a statement we received late yesterday evening from Dave Hoover, a police officer and uncle of 2012 Aurora theater massacre victim A.J. Boik. In this statement, Hoover condemns Rep. Mike Coffman’s attacks on President Barack Obama following the announcement of modest measures to tighten up background checks on gun purchases. Rep. Coffman, as should […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman voted again Wednesday to defund Planned Parenthood, making it seven times that he’s voted to strip funding from the women’s health organization. So you wonder, what does Coffman have to say to the 2,200 women who would no longer be able to go to the Aurora Planned Parenthood […]
As we wrap up the political happenings of 2015, we can glance ahead to this time next year and make a prediction: Whatever happens in Congressional District 6 will end up as one of the Top 10 stories of 2016. And if next year continues along the same trend line as 2015, the outcome of […]
Oh-fer. Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) has been given plenty of opportunities to distance himself from the dangerous rhetoric of Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. As the National Journal reports, Coffman is now 0-for-3 on Trump questions: A National Journal survey of eight members from racially diverse and Democratic-leaning districts—including one Senate candidate—resulted in just a trio of House freshmen who took clear […]
(This is starting to get weird. “Donald Duck!!!” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week, in response to Roll Call reporter Simone Pathe’s question of whether he’d vote for Donald Trump, Rep. Mike Coffman replied, “I’m not going to go there. Thanks.” Coffman’s dodge came after he didn’t denounce Trump, as other Republicans did, when Trump […]
December has not been a very good month for Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora). Coffman has been taking a lot of heat for repeatedly refusing to speak out against anti-Muslim comments made by Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, and he’s now facing increased scrutiny for missing a vote on restricting gun sales for people who are on the “no-fly list.” […]
Roll Call reports today–you think Democrats are being unfair to Rep. Mike Coffman by linking his past words and votes to controversial Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, do you? Well folks, Coffman’s doing his best to make it stick like glue: In Colorado’s 6th District, where Rep. Mike Coffman is facing a competitive re-election, his likely […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Worth reposting the Aurora Sentinel’s tongue-in-cheek lambasting of Rep. Mike Coffman’s lack of candor: Mike Coffman remains firmly on Santa’s list of good boys after making sure he said nothing that could be remotely construed as cross about the fascist Donald Trump. Whereas a cadre of his fellow Republicans on the congressional […]
The political world this week is still rotating around Donald Trump’s statements on Monday that the United States should temporarily bar all Muslims from entering the country — even if they are American citizens (though Trump later clarified this part). As the New York Times reports, Trump is standing firm by his comments as Republicans and Democrats alike […]
