Democrat state Rep. Elizabeth Epps was busted for spreading misinformation on social media this past weekend by Steffan Tubbs.
Her little conspiracy theory actually involved Tubbs and his crew, who were at the Capitol on Saturday filming an interview with state Rep. Gabe Evans for a new documentary on the evils of Fentanyl on Coloradans.
Tubbs, no amateur when it comes to politics, shot the interview with the Weld County Republican outside of the Capitol to avoid any conflict with laws or rules, then went inside to film what’s called B-roll footage for background use in the video.
That’s where they encountered Epps, who was cackling and carrying on as she conducted a personal tour for persons of unknown campaign contributions to the Democrat Party, we said with a backhanded conspiratorial slap of our own.
Tubbs wrote about the encounter on his Facebook page, and responded to Epps accusations on her X page.
Is the Representative from Weld County running for Congress? Bc I’m pretty sure I’m watching him try to film a campaign commercial right now.😆
I could be wrong. But I doubt it.
Why else would he have a film crew following you around at the Capitol?
Other theories? Discuss.

As we’ve established, Evans is neither running for Congress, nor was he filming a campaign commercial.
A former police officer, Evans was working at the Capitol on a Saturday because he’s concerned about the Fentanyl epidemic.
As Monday is National Fentanyl Awareness Day, Tubbs kicked off his show on KNUS with the topic, and briefly mentioned his encounter with the Denver representative.
“She made an utter a-hole of herself,” Tubbs said. “She thought she saw something and got on social media to be the town crier. But in the end, whoops!”
Whoops, indeed.
She should be ashamed of herself for spreading disinformation.
She didn’t respond to Tubbs’ request for an interview on Fentanyl, which is no big surprise.
PeakNation™ will recall Epps led the failed effort to legalize and subsidize Fentanyl use with Coloradans’ taxpayer dollars to fund injection centers.
Possession of the drug, which killed nearly 1,000 Coloradans last year, has already been legalized by the Democrat-controlled state legislature.
Meanwhile, the Denver area homeless population where drug abuse abounds, skyrocketed nearly 32% this year with more than 9,000 living on the streets.
