It’s primary election day in Colorado and it’s starting off with a bang — literally. The campaign headquarters of Stephen Valera reports that bullets came through the glass so they are moving locations for their watch party and/or celebration later tonight. If this is making America great again, I don’t want to know what the disintegration of the republic might look like.
Meidas Touch is reporting that Valera said he’s not sure if intimidation was the message, but if it is, he’s not intimidated. Prudent idea to move the watch party elsewhere, however.
As to the primary tonight, the Independent reports:
Boebert’s campaign manager exclusively told The Independent on Tuesday as primary voting entered its final hours that fewer ballots were cast than expected but that they were making a final push for the Trump-aligned congresswoman.
She is up against a number of more traditional GOP rivals in the race, including former state senator Jerry Sonnenberg, current state representatives Mike Lynch and Richard Holtorf, and parental rights advocate Deborah Flora.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the state:
Democrat Adam Frisch, a former Aspen City Council member seeking to flip Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District from red to blue, is funding TV ads this week attacking Republican Jeff Hurd, a Grand Junction attorney and the GOP establishment’s pick in the party’s six-way 3rd District primary on June 25.
Hurd and his five primary opponents are running to succeed far-right Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, who announced late last year that she would switch to the more conservative 4th District after defeating Frisch in 2022 by just 546 votes.
All eyes are on Colorado today, where there is no lack of drama. I wonder if Boebert loses, if she will blame “50,000 Republicans for not turning out” which was her excuse for barely squeaking by to election in 2022? Stay tuned, we’ll find out.
gee. wonder which candidate’s supporters did this. Actually, I don’t wonder at all and I hope law enforcement in CO is investigating Bobo, her campaign team, and any known, mouthy pieces of shit bobo supporters. It’s a pretty safe bet, I’d certainly make book on it, someone at least tangentially connected to the little nit-wit’s campaign either did it or had a supporter do it for them. Maybe the little nit-wit ordered the shooting herself.
CO law enforcement: hope you’re paying attention and acting on any and all info you find.
Only cowards anonymously ride by and fire weapons into buildings, crowds, personal homes, etc. Cowards, punks, gang members, and the Maga crowd all fit the bill.
MAGAts ARE cowardly punk gang members. Their gang colors are cheesy red hats made in Chiba,often accessorized by some t-shirt advertising whatever beer they are drinking now that they hare Budweiser,, and it must be 2 sizes too small.
By the way…anyone know where SHE WAS when this went down? How about members of her crime family? Call me curious.
Valera is running in her FORMER district, not the one she’s running in now. So he’s not an n opponent of hers. And I would think that if people who liked her wanted to protest her leaving the district, they would logically have set their sights on Frisch, who pretty much ran her out. I do realize MAGAts have no logic.
n any case, Valera didn’t win that primary – Jeff Hurd won.I
