Colorado learned this week what happens when you send a Patriot to Congress. A @nexton9news commentary:
I'm talking about the kind of American who is a Patriot by their actions - not because they've printed it on a t-shirt or a hat. A Patriot defined by the caliber of their character - not by the caliber of whatever they holster to their hip.
When the United States Capitol was under attack - a Patriot from Colorado - @RepJasonCrow - took action.
The violent mob was at the doors of the House chamber when his Ranger training kicked in. He helped colleagues put on gas masks. Moved older members of Congress to the safest spot.
Told them to take off their member pins so the insurrectionists might not be able to identify them as high-value targets. He called his wife to tell her he might have to fight his way out. And he grabbed the only weapon he could find - a pen.
If the mob had breached the doors - there is no doubt the patriot Colorado sent to Congress would have put his life on the line for his country... again.

Jason Crow stood ready to defend the American Capitol and all those in it. Defend them against insurrectionists egged on by Colorado Congresswoman @RepBoebert who told them that day was "1776."
Congressman Jason Crow was among the last to leave the chamber that day. The Republican leader said the Democrat from Aurora was a hero. Even those who disagree with every vote Congressman Crow has ever cast should be grateful that Colorado sent a Patriot to Congress.
