Colorado GOP Vice Chair Derrick Wilburn is either one of the most dishonest politicians in Colorado or one of the most ignorant (or perhaps a mixture of both). In today’s example, he posts old video of a confrontation between protesters and police from last May and implies it just happened. I don’t know if he actually believes it happened recently or not, but he doesn’t indicate to his audience that it’s old news, with predictable results:
I ran across this story about a “Rifle woman” going to Washington for a Donald Trump healthcare “listening session”. It seems strange to hold a listening session after the bill has already been committed to paper and the GOP has had more than seven years to “listen” and formulate a better healthcare plan than the Affordable Care Act.
I’ve written in this space about Rep. Tim Leonard (R-Evergreen) before. He is one of the most radical members of the Colorado State Legislature. Well, he’s at it again, this time posting this video with a cryptic warning to know the cost/benefit trade-off regarding vaccinating children.
I’m continually astounded by the blatant hypocrisy that Republicans engage in, but even for the vice chairman of the Colorado GOP, who has a long track record of abandoning his so called “principles”, this is a stunning lack of self-awareness:
The forum for Colorado GOP state chair candidates Jeff Hays and George Athanasopoulos at the JeffCo Republican Women’s group forum on March 7 was mostly a wonk-fest, with the candidates each touting their plans to revitalize the Colorado GOP, but there were a few moments when the gloves came off that provided some excitement. The first was when George Athanasopoulos accused Jeff Hays of violating rules by endorsing Joel Miller—an accusation dismissed as a “fraud” by Hays.
Ran across this post by Raymond Garcia, the 2016 GOP candidate for Colorado State House District 1. Setting aside the laughable claim that “liberals…are having a harder and harder time trying to find something bad about President Trump,” let’s see if we can get to the bottom of the claims of this headline.
I screen-capped a few FeverSwamp™ posts to illustrate what is quickly becoming apparent: Nearly everyone hates Paul Ryan and the GOP’s healthcare proposal.
It’s bad enough that Donald Trump used and lied to a grieving widow at his State of the Union speech on Tuesday. His claim that “valuable intelligence” was obtained in the raid that killed William “Ryan” Owens and 30 civilians including children is an outright fabrication. The father of the slain SEAL is calling for an investigation into the raid and refused a meeting with Trump.
Remember a time not so long ago when Wikileaks and Julian Assange were persona non grata in the eyes of Republicans—enemies of America in fact? Here’s what former and sometimes current right-wing radio host Mike Rosen thought of them then:
One amusing facet of modern “conservatism” is the propensity for its members to be the very things that they purport to despise. Meet Colorado State Rep. Tim “Jailbird” Leonard (R-Evergreen), who was recently sentenced to fourteen days in jail on contempt of court charges.
