The Northglenn City Council is trying to censure two of its members for excusing themselves from a June 5 meeting before a Pride Month proclamation was read.
The officials didn’t make a big scene or protest in any way.
Councilor Tim Long of Ward 4 excused himself to use the bathroom, and Ward 1 Councilor Nicholas Walker also left the dais before the proclamation item was even discussed.
Long declined to comment on his absence but Walker later told the Northglenn Thornton Sentinel it was for personal reasons.
So why the big stink?
City Councilor Becky Brown said Walker has been helping her while she walks or stands since she sustained a recent injury and the two talked prior to the proclamation.
“He was telling me that he was not going to be there for the proclamation,” Brown said.
No good deed ever goes unpunished with some people. How dare they not be present for everything of importance to the Progressive State?
So here we are more than a month later and the woke culture police are calling out the members for wrong think and seeking to shame and punish them with censure.
Chief propagandist Kyle Clark fanned the flames of cancel culture and seemingly suggests that Long should be mocked for his outdated lexicon, while informing the mob the censure vote will occur at the end of July.

PeakNation will recall that state Rep. Jenny Willford is the same Democrat who defended her caucus for walking off the floor before the vote on Police Week and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day.
Earlier this year, during another police memorial there were both D’s + R’s that missed the vote, were marked excused and did not receive threats, harassment, nor media attention. This virtol has no place in our democracy and especially not in our state. https://t.co/2cRlHtFWGN

She and other members claimed they received death threats because of their “excused absences” and blamed the media in part for fueling the fire, even though the threats later turned out to be questionable.
Ironically, Willford appears to be stirring up trouble for these council members, one of whom was appointed to replace her on council this year after she won election to the state House.
Hypocrites much?
