Welcome back to this week’s extremist rewind. Because we were off last week for Memorial Day, we will be including a few articles from the previous week. Spotlighted this time around, among others, are two Colorado Times Recorder articles, one on a Christian pastor complaining about a law aimed at addressing the practice of “deadnaming” and another on the infighting around the movement to free convicted felon Tina Peters.
Colorado Times Recorder: Christian Pastor Lies about Transgender Bill, Demeans Legislator

Colorado Times Recorder: ‘Despicable!’ Conservative Activists Doubt Sincerity of Boebert’s Belated Support of Tina Peters
It’s despicable. It’s despicable because there was a severe political cost for people that stood with Tina Peters, for people who stood for election integrity in this state,” Epp said. “If you stood up for election integrity, you were punished and still are, kind of. But for her [Boebert] to allow that praise to be heaped on her while it’s fundamentally untrue… Lauren Boebert was on the side of Ken Buck when it came to our elections, and Ken Buck was out there telling us that we have the safest and most secure, gold-standard elections in the country. Yeah, so it’s a lie.”
