.@KerryTipperHD28 says that Jan 6th was the
"logical result of months of carelessness, recklessness and intentional maliciousness led by the president...
[the riot included] past + *current members of THIS body."
*She's talking about insurrectionist Rep. Ron Hanks
#CoPolitics
In response, @RepDaveWilliams gives a long-winded "there were good people on both sides" argument, noting that his colleague Rep. Hanks is "absolutely not" an insurrectionist...
despite the fact that he was very much at an attempted coup of the U.S. government.
#CoPolitics
...Ironic that @RepDaveWilliams talking points centered around civility, when his own username has "Let's Go Brandon," in it.
Last we checked, cursing out the president wasn't civil discourse, Dave.
#CoPolitics
In a truly bananas amendment, Williams introduces an amendment to CELEBRATE insurrectionist Rep. Ron Hanks, who was apparently not fomenting a coup but just exercising his 1st amendment rights. 🤯
#CoPolitics #CoLeg

Continuing his fact-free statement, @RepDaveWilliams says: "There are serious claims that need to be discussed and not ridiculed...
We should commend not only our 45th president Donald Trump but others who are fighting for election integrity.”
Fact Check: Completely false
In support of the GOP's amendment, Rep. Richard Holtorf quickly veers off the rails from his concern about "voting integrity" to an incident of "censorship," when his 4th of July message was removed from Facebook... ?
#CoPolitics
And then, after a ramble about his time living in Mexico, Rep. Holtorf says:

"I don’t know how a dead person votes by accident if he’s dead."

...I mean, I guess we agree on that much?? 🤣🤣🤣

#CoPolitics
Rep. Ron Hanks speaks up in support of his fellow insurrectionists:
"I was at January 6th and I appreciate the support of my colleague... I didn’t do anything wrong... I’m offended on behalf of by some of the people I met… there were such nice people, Mr. speaker."
#CoPolitics
Hanks goes on to blame China for [non-existent] election issues.
"The chips are made in China...They are built with wireless modems in them...This is a recipe for disaster…Through weaponized bio agents. It's the easiest way to turn a country and turn it over." 🤯
#CoPolitics
For more of Rep. Ron Hanks' baseless conspiracies
“The systems we have are not secure. The chips are made overseas. They are built with wireless modem connections in them."👇
#CoPolitics #CoLeg
Here are the GOP amendments that have been introduced and voted down so far:
#CoPolitics
In support of the resolution, @ValdezforCO says:
“It is fundamentally un-American to not support the rights of all Americans to vote.”

Thank you 👏👏👏
