In 2018, Jared Polis made twofold history when he became the first Jewish person and the first gay man to be elected governor of Colorado. Since taking office, he’s earned the ire of conservative activists and pundits, one of whom recently compared him to Adolf Hitler.
Now on her second attempt (the third overall) to recall Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO), conservative activist Lori Cutunilli has a tall order ahead of her: recalling not only the governor but also Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold ahead of next year’s election. A glance at the committee’s monthly campaign finance reports would appear to show the recall as dead in the water- at least financially. Reports this year show zero contributions outside of Cutunilli herself and a current balance of exactly one dollar.
Conservative activist Lori Cutunilli, leader of the multiple attempts to recall Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO), stood alone for another unpopular political protest today, literally. From a Weld County middle school this morning, Cutunilli posted to Facebook that she was the only attendee at what was supposed to be a “National School Mask Walk Out” today.
In a political fundraising email sent yesterday, statehouse Minority Leader Patrick Neville (R-Castle Rock) underreported the number of Coloradans hospitalized with coronavirus by half. He claims “fewer than 900 people” have had hospital stays, but publicly available state data put the total at over 2,000.
Colorado’s recall leaders aren’t calling it quits, they’re just rebranding and expanding.
House Republican Leader Patrick Neville is using the statehouse GOP caucus fund to promote another recall effort, this time of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis.
Across Colorado, the conservative movement to recall Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has been divided for weeks. Now, supporters of one of the groups promising to remove the governor believe they’ve been cheated out of their donations.
