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:

In a sea of crazy GOP legislators, one Colorado lawmaker stands out
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.

Radio host asks why they “didn’t do a damn thing” to the “guy in the turban”
Last Monday KNUS radio host Peter Boyles took a call from ‘Patrick’. He told a story about his mother, a green-card-holding Dutch immigrant, who was detained at the airport for 45 min and searched. His mother was apparently in her eighties at the time and wheelchair bound.
