coloradopeakpolitics--2020-06-12--U.S. Sen. Bennet wants to rename his office building to stop racism

U.S. Sen. Bennet wants to rename his office building to stop racism It started with Confederate generals and now it ’ s progressed to the first president of the United States of America .
Radical Democrats are on a statue and name-erasing spree in their quest for justice and to right every wrong throughout our country ’ s history .
Colorado ’ s own do-nothing Senator Michael Bennet is in on the scheme to appear all righteous and anti-racist by renaming things .
For those of you who don ’ t know the name of every building in Washington , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate office building where Bennet has worked without complaint his entire Senate career .
It never bothered Bennet , until this week , that his very own office building was named after a Democrat who opposed civil rights or federalizing the crime of lynching ?
Of course it never bothered Bennet , because it was not politically expedient to do so .
Just like it never bothered Senate Democrats to work alongside U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd from 1959 to 2010 , who was an actual member of the Ku Klux Klan !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ roads named after Byrd , too ?
Like the Robert C. Byrd United States Courthouse and Federal Building in Charleston and the Robert C. Byrd United States Courthouse and Federal Building in Beckley , West Virginia ?
Or the Robert C. Byrd Federal Correctional Institution ?
Or what about all these ?
Byrd claimed later in life to be reformed , apologized for his involvement in the Klan , and that was accepted by his Democrat colleagues who try and forget about it .
It ’ s those pesky Republicans who are the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
All it does is help liberals and Democrats feel better about themselves and delude themselves into believing that ’ s the solution to racism .
And for politicians like Bennet , it ’ s just a talking point for their reelection when someone asks what he did to stop police brutality .
When Bennet is up for reelection in 2022 , he can truthfully answer that he tried to rename his office building .

It started with Confederate generals and now it’s progressed to the first president of the United States of America.
Radical Democrats are on a statue and name-erasing spree in their quest for justice and to right every wrong throughout our country’s history.
But wait, there’s more.
Colorado’s own do-nothing Senator Michael Bennet is in on the scheme to appear all righteous and anti-racist by doing nothing substantial renaming things.
Richard Russell spent his career defending segregation, opposing civil rights, and blocking anti-lynching bills. It is long past time we renamed the Russell Senate Building to honor someone else. Who should it be? — Michael Bennet (@SenatorBennet) June 11, 2020
For those of you who don’t know the name of every building in Washington, D.C., that’s the U.S. Senate office building where Bennet has worked without complaint his entire Senate career.
It never bothered Bennet, until this week, that his very own office building was named after a Democrat who opposed civil rights or federalizing the crime of lynching?
Of course it never bothered Bennet, because it was not politically expedient to do so.
Just like it never bothered Senate Democrats to work alongside U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd from 1959 to 2010, who was an actual member of the Ku Klux Klan!
Why not rename all those buildings and roads named after Byrd, too? Like the Robert C. Byrd United States Courthouse and Federal Building in Charleston and the Robert C. Byrd United States Courthouse and Federal Building in Beckley, West Virginia? Or the Robert C. Byrd Federal Correctional Institution?
Or what about all these?

Byrd claimed later in life to be reformed, apologized for his involvement in the Klan, and that was accepted by his Democrat colleagues who try and forget about it. It’s those pesky Republicans who are the constant reminders about Byrd’s past.
Erasing names from the past won’t change history.
All it does is help liberals and Democrats feel better about themselves and delude themselves into believing that’s the solution to racism.
And for politicians like Bennet, it’s just a talking point for their reelection when someone asks what he did to stop police brutality.
When Bennet is up for reelection in 2022, he can truthfully answer that he tried to rename his office building.


coloradopeakpolitics--2020-06-12--Michael Bennet holds press conference to celebrate another failure

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet held a press conference , along with floundering U.S. Senate candidate John Hickenlooper and other Democrats today , to make sure every single Coloradan knows he once again failed to accomplish anything in the United States Senate .
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner has been shepherding his Great American Outdoors Act , referred to as the ‘ holy grail ’ of conservation bills through the Senate , while poor Michael Bennet is busy whining about how he can ’ t pass his own public lands bill .
As the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reported , “ an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to tack a Colorado lands conservation measure onto the bill apparently won ’ t succeed.
” In a strange PR move , Bennet highlighted his inability to get things done by holding a press conference highlighting his own failure .
But this isn ’ t the first time Bennet has failed to accomplish anything .
In February 2019 , the Denver Post reported on how Gardner was passing a different major public lands bill , while Bennet one again failed to pass his own bill .
Bennet didn ’ t mention at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the Great American Outdoors Act is on the cusp of being Gardner ’ s tenth bill being signed into law , while Bennet ( who has been a Senator for four years longer than Gardner ) , still hasn ’ t had a single one of his bills become law .
With the score being 10-0 and Gardner running circles around Bennet , we wish Bennet the best , hope he can learn from Gardner , and put some points on the board before his reelection in 2022 .

Bennet didn’t mention at today’s press conference the fact that the Great American Outdoors Act is on the cusp of being Gardner’s tenth bill being signed into law, while Bennet (who has been a Senator for four years longer than Gardner), still hasn’t had a single one of his bills become law.
With the score being 10-0 and Gardner running circles around Bennet, we wish Bennet the best, hope he can learn from Gardner, and put some points on the board before his reelection in 2022.

The Denver City Council is now echoing those calls to defund — they don ’ t want police just punishing people or treating criminals like criminals and such .

That rotten apple of a cop from Minnesota has spoiled the whole barrel, so after weeks of protests and vandalism, the liberal mob has finally made their demands — defund the police.
Because if we stop budgeting tax dollars for public safety uses like the police who just go around arresting criminals or coming to the aid of citizens who have been robbed, raped, assaulted or so forth, then never again can the tragedy occur of a suspect being killed by a police officer.
The Denver City Council is now echoing those calls to defund — they don’t want police just punishing people or treating criminals like criminals and such.
Schools are also buckling to the political correctness de jour of banishing police and want them removed from schools.
At some point, we hope folks remember why we have police there in the first place.
But this is an election year so we expect police departments across the state and the country will be cut to shreds in communities led by Democrats.

His Majesty King Polis, slayer of small businesses and maker of masks, will shine his favor upon the C&C Cafe of Castle Rock and allow the restaurant to reopen
That’s about 18 days later than Polis allowed every other restaurant in the state to reopen with dine-in service. All were shut down for an extremely long period of time due to a pandemic, and perhaps a little bit of politics.
The cafe was punished for disobeying the king’s order and opening early on Mother’s Day on May 10, so their license to operate was suspended for 30 days and reopened Sunday.
Restaurants that followed the king’s orders were allowed to reopen on May 27 under strict guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The following day, those strict guidelines were abandoned so that hundreds could flock to the streets and protest the tragic killing of a man by police in another state.

Well done media apologists!
When John Hickenlooper demanded you all defend him against ethics violation charges, you failed him and he was found guilty on two counts.
But the media has more than made up to Hick by completely glossing over a wildly racist comment made by the former governor.
Complete coincidence?
Take a look at these copycat headlines that downplay, or even distort, what Hickenlooper actually said.
Hickenlooper did not just make “slave ship comments,” like he was giving some sort of tutorial on the issue of slavery and got a fact wrong.
As governor, Hickenlooper compared his job as an elected official to that of a slave being whipped while rowing a ship.

In the context of the ongoing discussion by the national media and Democrat Party on race and police powers, this and other racially insensitive comments by Hickenlooper should have doomed his chances in the party’s U.S. Senate primary election on June 30.

🚨 New NRSC Ad in CO: @Hickenlooper defied a subpoena, was held in contempt, and then was found guilty of violating CO state laws… and it keeps getting worse. #COSen #copolitics pic.twitter.com/UABsRJ3n63 — The Senate Majority (@NRSC) June 16, 2020
John Hickenlooper– “He lied. He broke the law. And it gets worse.”
Unfortunately for Hick, even the media, which he expects to protect him, isn’t stepping up to the plate to defend his law breaking.
Hickenlooper basically wrote this @NRSC ad for them with his bungled handling of the ethics complaint. https://t.co/K4aqid1wel — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) June 16, 2020
Hick’s media “should be protecting” him strategy hasn’t worked so far, but we are excited to see what nonsensical spin Hick tries next.
One thing is for certain, when it involves John Hickenlooper, it will always continue to get worse.

Dating back to 1865 , it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers , led by Major General Gordon Granger , landed at Galveston , Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free .

So much for divestment. Polis signs $8 million police accountability bill
Gov. Polis signed a bill today that supporters say will make police more accountable and transparent.
How did the legislature author the Enhance Law Enforcement Integrity bill so quickly?
According to Colorado Politics, they’ve been working on it for three years. Timing is everything in politics and government.
The bill might hopefully do some good, or it might just repeat rules and regulations already in place as numerous law enforcement officials contend.
One thing is for certain, the bill clearly does not defund or divest spending on law enforcement activities as Democrat activists demanded after weeks of protests, vandalism, and lawlessness.

Colorado Politics journalist Joey Bunch makes a strong case for why U.S. Senate candidate John Hickenlooper could lose the Democratic primary to Andrew Romanoff unless he shuts the Hell up.
“When you consider his history of flubs, perhaps silence is the golden ticket to Washington for the former governor sitting on a mountain of campaign cash,” Bunch wrote.

We’re talking about flubs Hickenlooper made in the last few weeks or stretch back over this decade, and here are the top five:
1. Being a politician and forced to attend ritzy fundraisers is just like being a slave beaten with whips on a slave ship.
“If I was to describe a scheduler, a political scheduler, imagine an ancient slave ship, with the guy with the whip, and you’re rowing. We elected officials are the ones that are rowing.”
2. In 2009 on “Democracy Now,” Hickenlooper was searching for a comparable problem to climate change, and came up with this:
“It reminds me a little bit of slavery.”
3. As recently as January, Hickenlooper stumbled through the acronym for the NAACP, that’s the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, when he appeared on the Brother Jeff Facebook show.

While the shared post divided the council — Councilperson Dave Gruber said the post was “absolutely disgusting” — Mayor Mike Coffman simply encouraged all council members to conduct themselves in a manner that is respectful to the office they hold.
Coombs’ adopted the Candi CdeBaca defense and claimed her post was just a show of solidarity.
And besides, all the kids are chanting “No cops. No KKK. No Racist USA” nowadays, so it’s just the hip thing to scream on social media, Coombs said.
Coombs’s supporters turned out to be organized by the Arapahoe Democratic Party.
Not surprisingly, members of the police union took serious offense to Coombs’ fit of wrath.

Failed presidential candidate and struggling Senate candidate John Hickenlooper is in full melt down mode.
As we reported earlier this week, “the old guard of the Democrat Party has called for all hands on deck to bail out their favorite establishment politician,” and now Hickenlooper is following the lead of his bosses in D.C. and launched his own attack against Andrew Romanoff.
Politico reports, “Hickenlooper has finally mentioned Romanoff, his primary opponent, in an ad. The former Colorado governor (and DSCC-backed candidate) took a shot at his opponent.

For Hickenlooper to go negative and name Romanoff now can only suggest one thing, he is behind in the polls and needs to do everything he can to eek out a victory on primary night. Even Colorado reporters were quick to note this is the first time Hickenlooper has directly attacked Romanoff in paid advertising.
For nearly a year Hickenlooper has essentially acted like he’s only running against Cory Gardner. That just changed with this ad. #copolitics — Jesse Aaron Paul ☀ (@JesseAPaul) June 23, 2020

Hick overcompensates for critical mistakes cause his campaign team is crap
There was a time when it was considered racist to counter accusations of being racist by replying: “But look at my black friends.”
We’re not saying John Hickenlooper’s a racist.
But we are saying Hickenlooper is overcompensating, because he’s pathetically out of touch with his voters, and his campaign team sucks.
Hickenlooper was expected to cruise through the homestretch and cinch the Democrat’s U.S. Senate primary election come Tuesday.
Instead, Hickenlooper is spending this last week introducing voters to his black friends and still struggling to overcome all the stupid comments he keeps making about race.
Hickenlooper was still making up on Wednesday for a statement he made last month when asked about the group Black Lives Matter. Hickenlooper’s response then, every life matters.
Hickenlooper’s response now:
Then there’s Hick’s video featuring state Sen. Rhonda Fields.
Field’s son was killed in 2005 before he could testify against a gang member, prompting her to become an advocate for gun control and run for public office.
Together with @SenRhondaFields, we took on the NRA and passed universal background checks right here in Colorado. We need to do the same thing nationwide. pic.twitter.com/MyzYVddOZw — John Hickenlooper (@Hickenlooper) June 24, 2020
As for Fields’ claim Hickenlooper himself gave her special police security, the lawmaker never mentioned Hickenlooper, nor thanked him at the time.
However, Fields did thank the police.
“I am grateful for the prompt work of the Colorado State Patrol in bringing this suspect to justice, and I also thank the Denver Police Department, which was instrumental in the investigation,” Fields wrote in a statement Monday.
Of course, Fields comments came at a time when Democrats were telling us to give up our guns and rely on the police for protection.
The same police that Democrats like Hickenlooper now want to defund.

As the ad makes clear, Hick’s ethics troubles are far worse than just being found guilty by the Independent Ethics Commission for taking free rides on corporate jets. As governor, Hickenlooper accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from anonymous donors to pay for policy positions in his office.
Hickenlooper even accepted a $25,000 donation from Anadarko Oil and Gas “just days after a deadly explosion in Firestone was tied to a leaking underground pipeline owned by the company. Over the course of four years, it gave the governor’s office more than $330,000, money for which there is little accounting.”
If Hickenlooper is able to survive the primary, we are eager to see what more we learn about Hick’s corruption. It seems like something new is uncovered every day, and much to Hick’s displeasure, the media doesn’t seem to be protecting him this time around.


coloradopeakpolitics--2020-06-26--Democrats more worried about beating a Republican than all that protest stuff

Democrats more worried about beating a Republican than all that protest stuff That ’ s according to one of those dubious , opt-in , online polls that even the American Association for Public Opinion Research has little use for .
The SurveyUSA poll interviewed 1,650 respondents about the Democrat primary election on Tuesday for the U.S. Senate , the winner of which will face U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner in November .
Of those , 1,417 were registered to vote and 814 were Democrats .
And only 575 were Democrats or independents who planned to return their ballots by the Election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your pool .
Oh , and the “ credibility interval ” not to be confused with an actual margin of error , is plus or minus 6 % .
Of those left who opted in to take the online survey , 58 % support Hickenlooper , 28 % support Romanoff and 14 % are undecided .
The outcome numbers seem a little far-fetched — the final breakdown was 331 voters for Hick and 160 for Romanoff — but some of the trends uncovered by the survey are worth noting .
For example , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s supporters — 37 % — were Hickenlooper defectors .
All of Hickenlooper ’ s bloopers on race , slavery , or his confusion about what sparked those weeks of protests at the state Capitol , that didn ’ t hurt him .
Only 4 % of everyone surveyed said they joined in the protests , and only half said they supported the demonstrations .
Of Democrat voters , 80 % said they have a positive opinion of Black Lives Matter .
We presume they were asking about the organization , and not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the telling numbers — 67 % say Hickenlooper has a better chance of beating Gardner in the November election .
Only 18 % said Romanoff , and 14 % had no opinion .
So if the survey holds true , Democrats and independents would rather vote Hickenlooper , the Democrat who thinks going to ritzy fundraisers is just like being a slave beaten by a whip .
Those voters would rather be represented by the guy who claims he will reform law enforcement , yet hasn ’ t bothered to do so the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They prefer the man who does not know how George Floyd was killed by police — the candidate who snubbed Black Lives Matter and thinks it ’ s remarkable when black people can speak so articulately .
That is who Democrats and many independents would rather vote for senator , because they are fed up with the Republican president who they claim is a racist .

Democrats more worried about beating a Republican than all that protest stuff
John Hickenlooper will soundly defeat Andrew Romanoff by a landslide.
That’s according to one of those dubious, opt-in, online polls that even the American Association for Public Opinion Research has little use for.
The SurveyUSA poll interviewed 1,650 respondents about the Democrat primary election on Tuesday for the U.S. Senate, the winner of which will face U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner in November.
Of those, 1,417 were registered to vote and 814 were Democrats.
And only 575 were Democrats or independents who planned to return their ballots by the Election Day deadline, so there’s your pool. Oh, and the “credibility interval” not to be confused with an actual margin of error, is plus or minus 6%.
Of those left who opted in to take the online survey, 58% support Hickenlooper, 28% support Romanoff and 14% are undecided.
The outcome numbers seem a little far-fetched — the final breakdown was 331 voters for Hick and 160 for Romanoff — but some of the trends uncovered by the survey are worth noting.
For example, more than a third of Romanoff’s supporters — 37% — were Hickenlooper defectors.
All of Hickenlooper’s bloopers on race, slavery, or his confusion about what sparked those weeks of protests at the state Capitol, that didn’t hurt him.
Only 4% of everyone surveyed said they joined in the protests, and only half said they supported the demonstrations.
Of Democrat voters, 80% said they have a positive opinion of Black Lives Matter. We presume they were asking about the organization, and not the concept itself.
Yet this remains the telling numbers — 67% say Hickenlooper has a better chance of beating Gardner in the November election. Only 18% said Romanoff, and 14% had no opinion.
So if the survey holds true, Democrats and independents would rather vote Hickenlooper, the Democrat who thinks going to ritzy fundraisers is just like being a slave beaten by a whip.
Those voters would rather be represented by the guy who claims he will reform law enforcement, yet hasn’t bothered to do so the decades he’s been in office.
They prefer the man who does not know how George Floyd was killed by police — the candidate who snubbed Black Lives Matter and thinks it’s remarkable when black people can speak so articulately.

“This statue will be repaired, and we will use every tool at our disposal to work with Denver Police, and to hold accountable those responsible for the damage whether they are hooligans, white supremacists, confederate sympathizers, or drunk teenagers.”

National Democrats not so sure Hickenlooper can help win Senate control
For weeks now, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and his dark money machine have bombarded the airwaves in an effort to save John Hickenlooper from losing to Andrew Romanoff in the Democrat Senate primary.
But now Schumer’s Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is refocusing its efforts on states that can win back control from Republicans, and that does not include Colorado.
Democrats need to gain four seats to take control, and Hickenlooper winning in Colorado was always been a part of their master plan.
But with all of Hickenlooper’s recent troubles, the DSCC instead focused on South Carolina, Maine, Kentucky, and Arizona in a recent fundraising plea.
This is bad news for Hickenlooper because without the backing of the D.C. establishment he has absolutely no support.
Now we wait and see what happens in tomorrow’s primary, and whether the millions spent on Hickenlooper’s behalf can save him from an embarrassing defeat.
