Extremist Rewind – 11/15/2024
It is time, once again, for Colorado Times Recorder’s weekly recap on Colorado stories about extremism. First up, we have an opinion piece from Logan Davis that highlights the ways that Christian Nationalists in Colorado have been emboldened by Trump’s electoral victory. Also on the docket this week is reporting from Jason Salzman on newly elected Colorado DA George Brauchler’s admission that he plans to ‘find a way’ to sidestep Colorado law to enforce deportation policies — and a roundup by Owen Swallow looking at which candidates who denied the results of the 2020 election were successful in their electoral endeavors (It’s most of them.). We’ve also decided to feature an article by Colorado Community Media’s Ellis Arnold on the state Labor Department finding that the Douglas County Sheriff and Commissioners engaged in unlawful and unfair labor practices in their efforts to avoid unionization.

Or an alleged pedophile to lead the Justice Department. Trump’s voice and image on CNN turn a perfectly good day into a bad one. And on and on.

DAVIS: Christian Nationalists Emboldened, Militant After Trump Victory
This was just a battle,” Woodland Park-based evangelist Andrew Wommack wrote last week, triumphant in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s victory. “The war is yet to be won. The left is not going away, because they’re inspired by the devil – and the devil has never quit!”
