Glenn, Coffman, and Woods named as Colorado’s least environmentally friendly candidates
The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) and the Conservation Colorado Victory Fund are raising red flags on three Colorado candidates – Republican U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO), and State Sen. Laura Woods (R-Arvada) – for their poor environmental records.
FACT CHECK: Woods’ introduction of Trump
Colorado State Sen. Laura Woods, who’s battling Democrat Rachel Zenzinger in a critical state senate race, introduced GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Golden Saturday.

This shows you the level of gullibility necessary to remain ensconced in the fact-free zone of a Republican confirmation bias bubble.
