Extremists call conservative voice ‘outrageous intrusion’ into politics

Colorado, more and more, is so far left in its politics and social agendas – this is after all the state where lawmakers decided that the unborn don’t ever have any rights – that the promoters of that ideology apparently see no need to tolerate any diverging views.
That’s evident from the recent outrage expressed by several “far-left” organizations that endorsed their chosen political candidates, but who were infuriated that a “patriot” group did the same.
The fight is documented by Complete Colorado, which reported how those leftists are “calling on candidates who have been endorsed by a conservative patriot group to denounce those endorsements.”
The report explains, “Colorado Working Families Party, a socialist political organization; Progress Now, a far-left activist group; and Yellow Scene Magazine, an online publication that has been supporting the progressive movement in the Boulder area for more than 20 years” are denouncing their “political opposite” for endorsing candidates.
It seems that Colorado Conservative Patriot Alliance, a group organized by former MAGA Trump Colorado chairman David Hunt, issued multiple endorsements, and Working Families immediately demanded of those candidates word on whether they accepted the endorsement.
Because it was from an “anti-choice, anti-immigrant, and anti-LGBTQ network.”
First to issue the demand was Working Families, then Progress Now, “run by hard-left activist Sara Loflin,” issued its own support of the Working Families demand.
That statement, Complete Colorado reported, demanded candidates “unambiguously reject and disavow both the endorsement and ideologies of the Colorado Conservative Patriot Alliance.”
Then Yellow Scene publicly objected to the “outrageous intrusion into Colorado politics” by Conservative Patriot, adopting the ideology of Progress Now, the report said.
But, the report noted pointedly, “all three organizations had previously published their own endorsements of candidates across the state that Yellow Scene, for its own part, called ‘not for the faint of heart.'”
Among the ideologies pushed by those selected by leftists were “full-term abortion rights,” destruction of the state’s tax increase-limiting Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, a ban on oil and gas and gun control. Also defunding the police and pulling the protections for Americans out of the First Amendment.
Hunt responded online, “It looks like we are getting on the nerves of our leftist friends again. The Colorado Conservative Patriot Alliance put out a list of election endorsements and they are hopping mad about it. We must be doing something right.”
