Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams is not a particularly popular guy at the moment, and for good reason. Since his election as Chair in March 2023, Williams has systematically turned up the volume on hate speech and divisive rhetoric both within the Republican Party and among Colorado voters in general — while at the […]
One week from tomorrow, the Washington, D.C. Young Republicans are hosting a fundraising event at a swanky Washington, D.C. rooftop bar they’re billing as the “Hot Girl Summer Happy Hour”–featuring Jenn Pellegrino of Newsmax (yes, we had to Google to find out who she is), Ginger Gaetz, the spouse of Rep. Matt “Giggity” Gaetz who […]
Last week we got a peek at the last batch of federal fundraising numbers that will be available before the June 25th Primary Election in Colorado. There is a very obvious theme that emerges when you peruse the numbers: Republican candidates for Congress aren’t raising squat — particularly by comparison to their Democratic counterparts. Take […]
As the Daily Beast’s Dan Ladden-Hall reports and Bob Beauprez once said famously to a horse’s ass, “there’s that smell again.” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has once again been accused of vaping in a place where it’s strictly prohibited. The Trump-loving congresswoman was spotted sporting an “autographed MAGA hat” and puffing away while in the […]
As Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, yesterday the growing faction within the Colorado Republican Party calling for the ouster of party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams added to its ranks the Denver Republican Party, with a petition from Jefferson County GOP chair Nancy Pallozzi allegedly signed […]
With the June 25th Primary Election looming every closer, it’s time to ask readers of Colorado Pols to predict the future once more. Our readers have traditionally been weirdly accurate at predicting the outcomes of big races in Colorado, and we’re asking you to do it again. Scroll through below and give us your best […]
We noted earlier this week that Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Denver) was predicting another big vote on women’s rights issues, and today it happened. As The Washington Post reports: Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked consideration of a bill to protect access to in vitro fertilization, the latest Democratic effort to put the GOP on the […]
As Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, and we confess we probably wouldn’t be discussing at all were it not for the contrary result, the Colorado Libertarian Party has made the decision to not endorse their own party’s nominee for President: Colorado’s Libertarian Party doesn’t plan to submit paperwork putting the […]
We’ve been discussing in this space the bonkers (okay, EXTRA bonkers) direction that the Colorado Republican Party has taken recently under State Party Chair Dave Williams. As we noted last week, the hateful words coming from the State Republican Party about Pride Month are being heard and acted upon. We understand that some readers may […]
Supporters of gun violence prevention measures were some of the big winners from the 2024 Colorado legislative session — victories that were codified in the last few weeks with signatures from Gov. Jared Polis. As Jesse Paul writes for The Colorado Sun: Polis signed into law eight bills passed by the legislature this year that […]
This Saturday, carpetbagging quasi-incumbent Rep. Lauren Boebert will be holding a campaign event in Castle Rock, which many Denver metro-area liberals might still be surprised to learn is how close Boebert’s would-be new district is to their own abodes. Accompanying Rep. Boebert at her Castle Rock stop is Rep. Thomas Massie, the ever-cantankerous Kentucky Republican […]
There is a lot of money being spent in Colorado’s fifth congressional district in a late effort to make sure that Republican State Party Chairman Dave Williams does not win his June 25th Primary race against fellow Republican Jeff Crank. This is both about Williams the congressional candidate and Williams the State GOP Chair, because […]
As the standoff over Colorado Republican Party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams’ kleptocratic leadership and attention-seeking appeals to hatred meant to distract and confound his critics barrels toward an as-yet unknown resolution, we’re seeing some pushback now from Christian conservatives who may be in a position to defend Williams in any […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado GOP’s flag burning stochastic terrorism is the straw that broke the camel’s back, strangely enough, as local county party chairs are FINALLY calling for their chairman’s ouster. Just like we told you in our last episode, being a felon running for President kind of hurts […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports today, the crisis within the Colorado Republican Party over the reckless, self-dealing party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams is coming to a head following last week’s over-the-top smearing of LGBTQ+ people in honor of Pride Month blasted out under the state party’s brand, with a growing […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The good news (for Biden) and bad news (for Republicans) keeps on rolling in. The latest: Inflation in May was ZERO. Nada. Nil. From The Washington Post: Fresh data released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday showed slight improvement from April, when prices rose at an annual rate of 3.4 percent. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, Douglas County podcaster and election conspiracist Joe Oltmann fled a deposition in federal court in Denver, opening him up to further sanctions and possibly contempt of court charges. Oltmann is currently a defendant in a defamation lawsuit brought by former Dominion executive […]
This week, the Senate will vote on a bill to protect access to IVF. I’m voting yes. Relentless attacks by Republicans on reproductive freedom post-Roe threaten the dreams of families like my own. pic.twitter.com/YaCUWG1wF9 — Senator John Hickenlooper (@SenatorHick) June 9, 2024 Here’s Sen. John Hickenlooper of Colorado discussing the upcoming vote this week on […]
HuffPost’s Igor Bobic reports, though by now you might have already seen the video: Former President Donald Trump heaped praise on Jan. 6 insurrectionists as “warriors” over the weekend and falsely stated that police officers welcomed them into the U.S. Capitol during the 2021 riot. “They were warriors but they were really more than anything […]
Let’s start with the quote, because that’s the real star of this story: “I am absolutely very strong in fighting crime. We need safe communities, fully funded, and to support our police officers.” Those are actual words from the mouth of Timothy Arvidson, the Republican who has the official endorsement of the Douglas County Republican […]
As readers may know, Donald Trump’s campaign has instructed Republican campaigns across the country to avoid fundraising appeals that invoke Trump’s recent conviction on 34 felony counts in New York related to the cover-up of Trump’s “hush money” payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Since the conviction, Trump has reportedly enjoyed a massive influx of […]
UPDATE: Do you hear the words coming out of your mouth? Post by @kyleclark9news View on Threads —– The Colorado Republican Party as we know it ended its life on May 21, 2024 when it issued a call to all Republicans to withdraw their children from public schools on account of a bonkers […]
Readers of Colorado Pols have traditionally been weirdly accurate at predicting the outcomes of big races in Colorado, and we’re asking you to do it again. We’ll ask these questions a few more times before June 25 to get a sense of how perceptions might be changing about the various contests. Scroll through below and […]
On Monday, the Colorado Republican Party sent out a blast mail to mark the beginning of Pride Month with an over-the-top serving of unvarnished anti-LGBTQ+ vitriol closely resembling the message of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, whose protests at the funerals of soldiers killed in action during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars […]
It may seem hard to believe, but 2024 is already halfway over. There might not be any Colorado politician more ready for this year to just end entirely than State Rep. Mike Lynch (R-Wellington). Lynch began the year as the House Minority Leader and a plausibly-strong challenger for Congress in CO-04. Things went downhill from […]
