Local News Anchors Marvel at 'Horrible Spot' Trump Is Putting State's Elected Republicans In

Denver’s local 9News anchors marveled at the recent “horrible spot” President Donald Trump has put members of his party in within Colorado, a former swing state that became a reliable Blue state during the Trump years.

“You said he repeated today that the election is rigged, especially here in Colorado, and that puts Republicans here in a really tight spot,” noted anchor Phil Lipof.

Kyle Clark replied, “It’s a brutal spot for them, right? Because either they break with the president and they say, ‘No, that is a fantasy. Elections are not rigged. You have to come out and vote because elections are valid, or they buy into the election-rigging fantasy. And Colorado voters have already shown that they are not interested in doing that. And then you’ll have Republicans who try to split the difference. The last candidate for governor on the Republican ticket here tried to publicly say, ‘Elections are fine,’ and then privately she said, ‘Oh, we really know there’s something funny with those elections.’ She took a 20-point L. So voters—they saw right through it. They were not buying it. He puts the GOP here in a really tough spot.”

“So you think, like, Gabe Evans, somebody like that, those districts—that’s a horrible spot to be put in,” added Kim Christiansen.
