9News’ Kyle Clark Is a “Conspiracy Theorist” and “Really Disgusting,” Says Boebert

(How to win friends and influence people – Promoted by Colorado Pols) I’ve been loosely documenting the complaints against journalists from top elected officials in Colorado for years, and guess who just made the nastiest comment yet (in public, that is)? U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO). How’d you know? Here’s what Boebert said about respected […]

CU Prof, Who Was Called “Fantastic” by Regent Ganahl, Pressed Pence to Block Election Confirmation

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A visiting scholar at the University of Colorado, who was recently praised as “fantastic” by the lone Republican who holds a statewide elected position in Colorado, stood by President Trump in the White House as he desperately tried to stop Congress from declaring Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential […]

2020’s Top Story (Tie): The Pandemic And The Struggle For Justice

If there’s anything we’re sick of in these first days of January 2021, it’s coming up with fresh superlatives to describe the year that just ended. 2020 in the United States and in Colorado was one of the most challenging years in the lifetimes of everyone now living–a true annus horribilis if ever there was […]

Top Stories of 2020 #5: Tipton’s Fall, “Q*Bert’s” Rise

As the old saying goes, “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” And the story of the ascension to Congress by the most unqualified and unabashedly fringe candidate perhaps in Colorado’s entire history began with the very much unexpected defeat of five-term incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton in the 2020 CD-3 Republican primary by […]

Top Ten Stories of 2020 #6: Colorado is a Solid Blue State

Happy Cory Gardner and Sad Cory Gardner. You can plot out Colorado’s shift from a swing state in 2014 to a solid blue state in 2020 with these two images: Colorado was swept up in a massive blue wave in 2018, handing Democrats all four of the top statewide offices (Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, […]

“Santa Cory’s” Last Chance

For Americans hoping to see a substantially bigger economic relief check in their account next month than the first $600 they’ve seen since the CARES Act passed last March belatedly signed into law this week by outgoing President Donald Trump, the latest news from The Hill is not good news: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell […]

Top Ten Stories of 2020 #8: The Trouble With Andrew Romanoff

Now-defeated Sen. Cory Gardner came into 2020 as the nation’s most vulnerable incumbent Republican U.S. Senator up for re-election. Running in a state that has steadily shifted leftward politically since Gardner’s narrow election in 2014, and with Gardner having lashed himself to an unpopular President Donald Trump to preserve his GOP base, Republicans were desperate […]

Top Ten Stories of 2020 #10: The Rally That Made No Sense

Photo by Erik Maulbetsch, CTR On February 20, President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign held a rally at the Broadmoor World Arena. In typical Trump fashion, the campaign gave out tickets far in excess of the World’s Arena’s capacity, resulting in a large and intentional “overflow crowd” outside of freezing but enthusiastic supporters. Inside, the politician […]

Flailing Trump Does Democrats, Americans Big Favor?

Politico reports on the latest turmoil over what was a done deal just a day ago, another round of economic relief to keep the sputtering economy going through what everyone hopes is the last winter of the COVID-19 pandemic: President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted the $900 billion coronavirus relief package passed by Congress, calling […]

Jeffco GOP Jumps On, Falls Off Election Fraud Bandwagon

Denver7’s Adi Guajardo reports on the latest attempt by the increasingly unhinged Jefferson County, Colorado Republican Party to join in the distraction so many Republicans are enjoying today, consoling themselves over Donald Trump’s defeat–and in Jeffco, another ballotwide shellacking of Republican candidates–by asserting that elections in Colorado’s foremost bellwether suburban county were “tainted”–by the dead, […]

Ken Buck Makes Party Chair Exit Official

As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports: U.S. Rep. Ken Buck announced Thursday that he will not seek a second term as chairman of the Colorado Republican Party… Buck was narrowly chosen for the top spot by the Colorado GOP’s central committee — a gathering of about 400 politicians, party officials and activists — in […]

Univ. of Colo. Regent Heidi Ganahl Uses Far-Right Social Media Sites That Allow Bigotry & Misinformation

(Sadly, no surprise here — Promoted by Colorado Pols) University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl took to social media last week to announce her new side-gig as a conservative columnist for the Denver Gazette. In addition to posts on Facebook and Twitter, Ganahl shared the news on alt-right site Parler, which is known as a […]

Let the Nonsense Commence!

UPDATE (10:44 am): 9News political reporter Marshall Zelinger has already had enough: I’m going to stop live tweeting the Colorado Legislative Audit Committee until there is proof provided of election fraud. Testifying that we should find something if it exists, without providing proof of what you think exists is not news. #coleg #copolitics — Marshall Zelinger […]

So, You Want to Overturn Democracy…

We wrote yesterday about the news that Rep. Ken Buck (R-Greeley) and Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) had both added their names to an amicus brief related to that asinine Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election so that Donald Trump can remain in the White House. It seems that we […]

Lauren Boebert’s Lost Cause Stops Being Cute

While exit-bound GOP Sen. Cory Gardner and long-defeated Rep. Scott Tipton are steering clear of the post-election caterwauling from outgoing President Donald Trump that has, among other things, further endangered Republican control of the U.S. Senate by undermining confidence in the elections in the state of Georgia, Tipton’s successor in CD-3 Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert has […]

Profiles in Cowardice: Colorado’s GOP Delegation

UPDATE #2: Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley), who also serves as the State Republican Party Chairman, won’t answer questions about the Presidential election…but he’ll happily take time to write a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking for an investigation into “Hunter Biden’s laptop.” —– UPDATE: It’s worth noting that this is not a new phenomenon.

Colorado GOP Sheepishly Tries To Undo Trump’s Damage

UPDATE: We’d be remiss if we failed to note in this post how Rep. Ken Buck himself helped spread baseless worries about Colorado elections, asking the Department of Justice to investigate a now-deleted error-riddled CBS4 Denver story about “dead voters.” The head of Colorado’s Republican party, Congressman Ken Buck is asking the Justice Department and […]
