Colorado Dems back Maxine Waters’ confrontation call, target police

Apr 20, 2021

There was a troubling silence from Colorado’s top Democrats leading up the jury’s decision Tuesday in the case against former police Officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd.

Protestors had been threatening to light up Denver if the jury didn’t go their way and convict.

Not exactly what anyone would consider as brave or present leadership at this time in our history.

As the jury announced Chauvin guilty on all three charges, the nation breathed a sigh of relief as the hundreds of protestors gathered outside the courthouse cheered, and hopefully will disperse peacefully without incident.

Sticking to the Democrats talking points for everything, DeGette tells us more must be done.

In other words, what Democrats are trying to say is:
