GOP statehouse candidate refuses to apologize for racist tweet
https://kdvr.com/news/politics/colorado-politics-news/racist-tweet-candidate-marla-fernandez/ snip
The longshot Republican candidate in the race for Colorados House District 3 said she is not apologizing after calling her opponent and three candidates of color chimps.

Two weeks ago, the AFT tweeted an endorsement of Democrat Rep. Meg Froelich, who is running for re-election, along with endorsements for Sen. Julie Gonzales, House District 6 candidate Elisabeth Epps and Rep. Jennifer Bacon.
Froelich responded to the tweet writing, Wow! I get to be with these champs? Made my day! Thanks @coloradoaft.
Her opponent, Republican Marla Fernandez, wrote back late Monday night saying, Did you say chimps? with a smiling emoji. Sorry must be my dyslexia.
