ExtremistRewind Extremist Rewind

January has come and gone and we here at the Colorado Times Recorder are restarting our weekly roundup of articles relating to political extremism in Colorado. Since it has been a while since our last rewind, we will be looking back at some published work from earlier in the month. Starting off, we have Heidi Beedle’s coverage of anti-abortion advocates celebrating the Trump presidency and the pardoning of individuals who vandalized and intimidated people at pregnancy resource centers. We also have an article by Washington DC correspondent for CTR Maria Tedesco documenting the Colorado GOP celebration of Trump’s inauguration where a January 6th rioter was lauded, Erik Maulbetsch’s recent article on Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams derailing a recent Republican meeting with another attempted power grab and a column from Logan Davis on how policies from the now-infamous Project 2025 are being put in place at a national scale. Finally, we would like to draw attention to one of the first bills put forth by the Colorado GOP that targets trans people and gender-affirming care, reporting by James O’Rourke.

‘A Bloody Embarrassment’ – Colorado GOP Chair’s Meeting Goes Off The Rails

·January 31, 2025

Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams tried and failed to consolidate his power last night via a series of proposed party bylaw changes. If adopted, the amendments would increase the power of the GOP’s small executive committee, and banish his enemies from ever holding leadership positions. Those enemies include state chair candidate Brita Horn, who would not be allowed to lead the party should the amendment punishing her and the other Republicans who attempted to depose Williams last fall pass. He called a virtual meeting over Zoom for the four hundred or so members of the State Central Committee, intending to pass five amendments.

After Calling on His Party’s Leadership to Resign, Will Evans Disavow Their Support?

·July 29, 2024

Last Friday Republican congressional candidate Gabe Evans publicly called on his own state party chair to resign, and for the party’s central committee to vote him out if he refused to step down. GOP calls for Williams to step down boiled over last month when Williams sent a vicious anti-gay missive via the party’s email account attacking anyone who supports Pride month.

CO Republicans Are About To Oust Their Leader — Again.

·July 25, 2024

If Dave Williams is booted from his position as leader of the Colorado Republican Party this weekend, it will be no surprise, given the fate of the six Colorado Republican chairs over the past 13 years. All six were run out of office, the last four after just one term each. Will Eli Bremer, who today announced his intention to replace Williams, be the leader to end the nearly decade-long streak of one-and-done chairmen?

Leader of CO Republican Party — Who’s Running for Congress — Raises the Possibility That His Primary Election Will Be Rigged

·June 19, 2024

On June 14, Conservative Daily podcaster Joe Oltmann vented about treasonous Republicans In Name Only (RINOs), a federal Department of Justice that is acting above the law, and all the January 6 patriots who are being abused by the legal system. Oltmann praised the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that dropped the ban on bumpstocks, which convert semi-automatics into a close approximation of a machine gun. Whether he was joking or not, he said he’d like to buy 5,000 bumpstocks and give them away.
