On the last day of May, Colorado’s cantankerous calamity Rep. Lauren Boebert drew scorn by the wagonload by missing the window to vote against the debt-ceiling increase compromise legislation brokered by GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the White House after spending the preceding days raging against the deal at every opportunity. Initially claiming she […]
Since last Friday’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Colorado-based web designer Lorie Smith, upholding Smith’s “pre-enforcement challenge” to Colorado law preventing Smith from refusing to make “wedding websites” for LGBTQ+ couples, questions have arisen about the legitimacy of the underlying facts of the case. AP reports via the Denver Post: […]
It’s probably a good thing that Congress adjourned last week for a long Fourth of July holiday recess, since before lawmakers left Washington and headed to their respective corners of the country, the slow-burning feud between the former “Q-some Twosome,” far-right Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado, exploded into public […]
It’s been a wild few months for newly-elected Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, whose brief term in office has been marred by growing dissent, infighting, intraparty score-settling…basically anything except what the Colorado GOP should be focused on, raising money and organizing to reclaim seats in the 2024 elections. Axios’ John Frank […]
We’re 18 months away from the next big election, which means it’s time again for partisan groups pretending to represent a “third option” for voters to crawl back out of the sewers. The ‘No Labels’ group has been getting a lot of press lately as it works to get a “Unity Ticket” candidate for President […]
It’s time for another edition of one of our longest-running features at Colorado Pols: “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator.” Today we take you to South Dakota, where Republican State Rep. Joe Donnell — a close friend of Governor Kristi Noem — revealed that the true purpose of Mount Rushmore is to spread communism through […]
(Dark money fills red pockets — Promoted by Colorado Pols) As one of only four states where the No Labels Party has made the 2024 presidential ballot, Colorado is a hotbed of debate over the potential impact of this largely Republican-funded political party, which bills itself as a centrist alternative to the Democratic and Republican […]
UPDATE: Here’s a photo of Robert Gieswein posing with his fellow “Three Percenters” in front of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s now-shuttered Shooters Grill: The town of Rifle is no longer Boebert’s militia Mecca. And that’s good, not even Three Percenters deserve food poisoning. —– Colorado Public Radio’s Tony Gorman reports on the 48-month sentence handed down […]
As KDVR FOX 31’s Lanie Lee Cook reports, yesterday Gov. Jared Polis issued a disaster declaration covering four counties hit by severe storms on Wednesday: Gov. Jared Polis issued the verbal declaration for Lincoln, Elbert, El Paso and Washington counties. Severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings were in effect into Thursday night as weather systems […]
“Thank God it’s Friday” is one of those mindless phrases that has been so overused that it’s almost embarrassing to utter the words anymore. That doesn’t mean it can’t still be an accurate expression, however – especially if your name is Lauren Boebert. Congresswoman Boebert is no doubt relieved to see this week come to […]
(Saying the quiet part out loud again — Promoted by Colorado Pols) When it came to choosing which minor parties he wanted to negotiate with, Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams only had one question: would they “adversely affect the Republican nominee?” That criterion led to his much-discussed “deal” with the Libertarian Party, as well as […]
(Always. The. Republican. — Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Shannon Tyler, Colorado Newsline June 21, 2023 Six individuals are accused of forging voter signatures in an attempt to get a congressional candidate on the Republican primary ballot in Colorado’s 7th District last year. Attorney General Phil Weiser announced Tuesday that the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Over two years after the Jan. 6, insurrection, former Trump lawyer John Eastman — who’s facing disbarment in California — defended the mob, telling a right-wing podcaster in Colorado that some Jan. 6 insurrectionists were “people paid by news organizations to get video of violence so that that could build a […]
UPDATE: Boebert is really running out of friends, as The Daily Beast reports: You can’t hear today’s interaction between Reps. Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, but you can pick up the gist from the body language alone: Saw this conversation… not sure if it was a friendly one pic.twitter.com/tpz3z2Phtv — Acyn (@Acyn) June […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog: Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, fresh off his eyebrow-raising attacks on fellow Republican and 2022 primary opponent Rep. Doug Lamborn, on Monday prevailed upon the state party executive committee to publicly “admonish, rebuke, and reprimand” four local Republican elected officials: […]
We took note last week of a proposal between the Colorado Republican Party and the Colorado Libertarian Party to “join forces” (sometimes) in an effort to prevent Democrats from continuing to win elections in Colorado. The idea stems from a belief among some politicos on both sides that Libertarian candidates — who have long been […]
Former Colorado Republican Party chairman and longtime political consultant Dick Wadhams is not generally speaking a figure who inspires much in the way of sympathy. Both as party chair and campaign manager for such high-profile losing efforts as Bob Schaffer’s 2008 U.S. Senate campaign against Mark Udall, Wadhams presided over a pivotal period of decline […]
UPDATE: KRDO-TV political reporter Spencer Soicher with an eye-opening apropos report on growing dissatisfaction with Dave Williams’ performance as Colorado GOP chairman: “I don’t think anyone wants to see an angry state party in Colorado,” [Pols emphasis] former Colorado GOP Chair Kristi Burton Brown said. Burton Brown didn’t seek another term after the November election […]
Former Republican Congressman-turned Mayor of Aurora Mike Coffman, as we’ve documented in this space over a period of years since Coffman won his current office in 2019 on the rebound from being ousted from Congress, has been on a long-term mission to stack the Aurora City Council with partisan Republicans–and even a former employee, now-Councillor […]
(Better hurry before John Eastman gets disbarred — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Republicans are hiring conservative attorney John Eastman to attempt to overturn the will of the voters. Any déja vu you may be experiencing is understandable. The difference is instead of Trump hiring him to flip a […]
As CBS4 Denver reports today, Colorado’s most frenetic fringe-right fandoozle Rep. Lauren Boebert is living out the axiomatic definition of insanity: doing the same stupid thing twice and expecting a different result: Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has introduced articles of impeachment against Pres. Joe Biden for “his unconstitutional dereliction of duty at the southern border.” […]
Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann, a Republican up for re-election this November after losing last years’ CD-8 Republican primary to Barb Kirkmeyer, is apparently deeply concerned about the actions of an unknown individual who seems to have taken an interest in her campaign. Why, you ask? Well, it’s not exactly clear, but here it is for […]
UPDATE #2: Remember when now ex-Sen. Cory Gardner joked about sending Hillary Clinton to Supermax over her missing emails? Because we do, thanks to longtime local reporter Corey Hutchins: “I introduce myself most of the time by saying, ‘Hi, I’m Cory Gardner from the great state of Colorado, home of the Rocky Mountains — and […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: KUNC’s Lucas Brady Woods documents the lamentation after what even organizers of this year’s Western Conservative Summit seem to agree was a sad sack of fail: Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was one of the headliners. Other speakers included Colorado representatives Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and former Trump attorney […]
As Will Doran reports for WRAL-TV in Raleigh, North Carolina, the recent phenomenon of state Republican Party organizations dominated by far-right hardcore activists openly attacking Republican elected officials, which we’ve seen in Colorado as state GOP chairman Dave Williams attacks his 2022 congressional primary opponent Rep. Doug Lamborn at every opportunity, isn’t limited to our […]
