Outgoing House GOP leader @PatrickForCO published the reporter’s home address in retaliation for this story. So I’m sharing the article again. denverpost.com/2020/12/20/col…
Neville’s decision to dox a journalist for an unflattering but accurate article sends a clear and chilling message to other journalists in Colorado: report unfavorably on GOP leadership and your personal safety may be put at risk. That’s unacceptable.
Rep @PatrickForCO defends his decision to dox @Conrad_Swanson for writing a critical article about his family’s use of campaign funds. Neville told me the reporter’s home address was public information from his voter registration, which he wished to make public.
Neville noted he redacted the home address after he was called out for doxxing.
NEW: Incoming House GOP leader @hmckean says outgoing leader @PatrickForCO doxxing the @denverpost’s @Conrad_Swanson in retaliation for a story was “not acceptable.” McKean says it hasn’t been determined if Neville will be sanctioned. #coleg #copolitics
Full McKean statement (1/2): “The release of a journalist’s private information in retaliation for an unflattering story is wrong.”
McKean cont. (2/2): “While members of the legislature are responsible for their own statements and social media posts, this type of reprisal is not acceptable and does not represent the values we, as Republicans, hold.”
One other note... Neville would not answer my question about whether he used a voter registration program belonging to the Colorado Republican Party or the Douglas County Republicans to find and publish the journalist’s home address.
