GOP officials spread lie that Democrats didn’t stand for widow Trump exploited in SOTU speech
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.

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.
State Sen. Cooke’s support for anti-sanctuary bill exposes hypocrisy
There are plenty of reasons to oppose State Rep. Dave Williams’ (R-Colorado Springs) anti-sanctuary bill.

But I want to focus on something else: hypocrisy.
If Gardner is right, and his protesters are being paid, how much do they cost?
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) is now infamous for making a comment to CBS4 that he believed many of the folks protesting and calling his office were paid protestors from New York and California.
