The most notable moment from last week’s 9News debate between Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo and state Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) was on a topic few observers expected to be discussed at all: child abuse. Moderator Kyle Clark asked Evans about his membership in Heritage Defense, a legal organization that defends Christian homeschoolers against allegations of child abuse.
Next week, as Coloradans start filling out their ballots, many will vote via the hundreds of secure drop boxes found at libraries and municipal buildings throughout the state. If former gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl’s latest plan is successful, voters may encounter election fraud conspiracists camped out nearby. Her volunteers, should any appear, will be on the lookout for signs of ballot stuffing, an unproven crime alleged by Dinesh D’Souza’s debunked movie 2000 Mules, and for which the film’s publisher was forced to publicly apologize after pulling the film.
It appears Donald Trump will visit Aurora after all. According to Colorado GOP Director of Special Initiatives Darcy Schoening, the former president is scheduled to speak this Friday afternoon at 1pm at the Gaylord Rockies Resort. The venue, which also has a convention center, is located just outside of the Denver International Airport and technically within the boundaries of the City of Aurora.
Mainstream Republicans and other business-oriented conservatives are again endorsing GOP candidates in Colorado who promote election conspiracies or outright deny that President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.
For the second time this month, a supporter of Republican congressional candidate Gabe Evans has been found to be promoting racist and antisemitic content online.
Across Colorado, county clerks are preparing for the first presidential election since former President Donald Trump denied the results of his 2020 loss. The conspiracy theories he and his supporters promoted ultimately led not only to the attack on our country’s Capitol, but to localized threats of violence against election officials nationwide as well as here in Colorado.
For a few hours this week, the Colorado Republican Party supported gay rights, or at least gay marriage.
Republican congressional candidate Gabe Evans fired his political director yesterday, following the Colorado Times Recorder’s report on her extensive record of antisemitic, conspiratorial, and violent posts on Facebook.
Gabe Evans’ Political Director Jessica Spindle has been working to get him elected to office for years, ever since his first run for statehouse in 2022. Evans is now challenging Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, in a race that’s expected to be one of the nation’s most competitive contests. She’s been on staff as Evans’ political director for his congressional campaign since April, but she’s been a relentless sharer of antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and calls for political violence for much, much longer.
Defiance defined Saturday’s meeting of some members of the Colorado Republican Party’s Central Committee. Comprised almost exclusively of supporters of Dave Williams, the meeting was essentially a MAGA celebration for the former state representative, who insists he is still in charge.
