Hernandez Shockingly Admits Support for Hamas ([link removed])
Colorado Republicans wish to thank the Denver Gazette for doing what most other so-called news outlets or publications are refusing to do: Expose Rep. Tim Hernandez for being antisemitic and a terrorist sympathizer. They even reported on the one brave Democrat who condemned Rep. Hernandez. Unfortunately, the Colorado Democrat Party and legislative leadership are still refusing to condemn his support for Hamas.
(You can read the Gazette's article below.)
As stated yesterday, you shouldn’t expect much from Kyle Clark with 9 News, Megan Schrader with the Denver Post, Bente Birkeland with Colorado Public Radio, Charles Ashby with the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, Jesse Paul with the Colorado Sun, the paid political hacks from ProgressNow Colorado with Colorado Pols, or others who falsely claim to be objective journalists to meaningfully cover this story, if at all.
Most of the press won't cover this because their main job nowadays is to shield Democrats from criticism so they can win elections by tricking voters.
Click the button below and watch the video where Rep. Hernandez refuses to answer a simple question about condemning the terrorism of Hamas.
This disgraceful marxist is being protected by the media and the political establishment. He openly admits his support for the terrorist acts by saying "what about it?"
Again, we welcome the media to prove us wrong by exposing this but we won't hold our breath because they want to protect the crooked narrative of the left at all costs.
Please share this video with everyone. Rep. Hernandez needs to be kicked out of office before it's too late and before his antisemitism incites violence.
Hernandez Shockingly Admits Support for Hamas ([link removed])
Rookie legislator reprimanded for supporting Palestine in wake of attacks
by Carol McKinley, Oct. 9, 2023
Hours after the terrorist organization Hamas launched a surprise holiday attack on Israel, Colorado Rep. Tim Hernández joined around three dozen participants at a rally at the state Capitol and waved a Palestinian flag.
The Palestine Solidarity Rally was described in a flyer as "An Emergency protest for Palestinian Resistance." It appeared to be organized by the Colorado Palestinian Coalition.
Hernández's place among the crowd may have gone unnoticed except that it was caught by television cameras gathering footage of the event.
Almost immediately, lawmakers on both sides jumped on Hernández' action.
“He voiced his approval of the slaughter of innocent people,” said Rep. Lisa Frizell, R-Castle Rock. “I find that to be contrary to anything that I hold dear.”
There is no rule ([link removed]) that prohibits legislative house members from participating in a rally or protest. Still, Frizell bemoaned Hernández's "absence of decorum," saying she doesn't believe he "respects the institution he was appointed to."
But Rep. Iman Jodeh, D-Aurora, said it is unfair to single out Hernandez for "expressing his beliefs that all people should be afforded human rights." She pointed out that there has been "massive precedent" of other elected officials who have also attended rallies, voicing opinions on the west steps of the state Capitol during the repeal of Roe v. Wade and most recently when conflicts arose in Sudan and Ethiopia.
"Let me be clear," Jodeh said. "As far as I know, no one held that rally for Hamas. People were rallying for Palestinian human rights." To equate Hernández' actions with Hamas, she said, is "reckless."
Jodeh, a Palestinian-American, has also publicly shown support for Palestine. On May 15, 2021, she marched with hundreds of Coloradans in support of Palestinian human rights after a series of air strikes and ground operations by Israel Defense Forces that killed dozens of Palestinians. Jodeh, elected in 2020, was the first Muslim to join the Colorado legislature.
Still, Frizell and other legislators called on House Democrats to censure Hernández for standing behind Palestine in such a public way — and right after the devastating attacks committed by Hamas.
Sen. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, D-Commerce City, issued a statement on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, saying she "wholeheartedly disagreed" with Hernández' decision.
"His posting of harmful rhetoric supporting the terrorist action on social media is reprehensible and dangerous," said Michaelson Jenet, who identified herself as "an Israeli and a Jew."
A censure is a form of public rebuke during which House leaders call out a member by reading a resolution criticizing that person’s behavior. It is a symbolic penalty, but it is not an expulsion.
The last and possibly only time a Colorado lawmaker received a censure was 2008, when Douglas Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, kicked a Rocky Mountain News photographer as he took pictures of Bruce during a ceremonial prayer. Bruce explained later that “it wasn’t a field goal kick,” and described the interference as more of a “nudge.”
Even a few House Democrats, horrified by the weekend attack on Israel by Hamas, voiced displeasure in Hernández’ decision to appear publicly in support of Palestine.
Rep. David Ortiz D-Littleton, wrote on X: “Tim and I definitely stand apart when it comes (with) the way he is dealing with Hamas’ barbaric attack on Israeli civilians.”
In a text message to The Denver Gazette, he wrote, “It’s up to Rep. Hernández to explain his point of view to his constituents and to the media, not any of us.”
Hernández had no comment when asked for an explanation as to why he attended the rally.
He later released a statement denying that he attended the rally to support Hamas or the attacks.
"I have listened and heard deeply from Jewish and Israeli Coloradans who have called for my solidarity in mourning their losses as well, Hernández wrote. ([link removed])
He continued: "There must be more room in this conversation for nuance, rather than political attacks for partisan gain, if we are going to make progress towards peace."
At the time of this writing, House Democrats remained silent on where they stood on Hernández's action.
The death toll from the weekend’s assault, which caught Israel off guard on a major Jewish holiday, stood at 1,100 Monday with thousands more wounded, according to the Associated Press. Meanwhile, Hamas and the smaller Islamic Jihad group claimed to have taken captive more than 130 people from inside Israel and brought them into Gaza, saying they would be traded for the release of thousands of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
Frizell said that to formally punish Hernández with a censure outside of the legislative session would require a special session.
Though Colorado House Democrats have not publicly commented on Hernández’ show of support for Palestine, leadership condemned the attacks hours after they happened, saying on X, “Our hearts break for the innocent people murdered and brutally kidnapped in this calculated and violent attack on the Jewish people.”
Hernández, 26, was appointed to Colorado House District 4 six weeks ago by a committee of Democrats after Selena Gonzales-Gutierrez was elected to an at-large Denver City Council seat. His term is up in 2024.
Original email about Rep. Tim Hernandez and his disgraceful views and rhetoric sent October 9, 2023 below.
Colorado Democrat and State Representative Tim Hernandez is a marxist who hates Israel and sympathizes with terrorists who use violence to achieve political goals.
This past weekend Colorado Democrat and State Representative Tim Hernandez brazenly stood against Israel and tried justifying the terrorism that was carried out by Hamas.
If you haven't already seen the reports, Hamas slaughtered Israelis while kidnaping children and the elderly, and raping defenseless women over the weekend.
Rep. Hernandez participated in a protest rally that falsely condemned Israel and praised violence against Israelis.
The protesters shamelessly chanted, “Palestine is our demand, no peace on stolen land. Red, black, green, white… for Palestine we will fight!”

Rep. Hernandez even posted his antisemitic and pro-violence rhetoric on social media before his handlers had him take it down as criticism mounted.
See what his handlers didn't want you to see.
Tweet that Rep. Hernandez agreed with and shared on social media before removing it from his social media thread. What he shared justified violence in politics.
Republican lawmaker Brandi Bradley criticized Rep. Hernandez for his extreme behavior and said, “Tim Hernandez is a disgrace to the Colorado House of Representatives for justifying terrorism against Israel. Sadly, Colorado Democrat leadership refuses to condemn his violent and radical views because they too are extreme and sympathize with those who wish to wipe Israel off the map.”
The Colorado Republican Party unequivocally condemns State Rep. Tim Hernandez for sympathizing with the terrorists who attacked Israel and calls on the Colorado Democrat Party, and its legislative leadership, to do likewise.
Unfortunately, the Colorado Democrat Party has become so extreme themselves we don’t expect much from them as they continue to cater to the fringe in their party.
Moreover, don’t expect much from Kyle Clark with 9 News, Megan Schrader with the Denver Post, Bente Birkeland with Colorado Public Radio, Charles Ashby with the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, Jesse Paul with the Colorado Sun, the paid political hacks from ProgressNow Colorado with Colorado Pols, or others who falsely claim to be objective journalists to meaningfully cover this story, if at all.
Most legacy news publications have become nothing more than the PR wing of the Democrat Party while being exempt from campaign finance disclosures. Their jobs have been reduced to pitching the dishonest narrative of the Democrats instead of speaking truth to power.
Unfortunately, these political operatives masquerading as so-called objective journalists can't be counted on to expose an antisemitic politician like Tim Hernandez because they will do everything in their power to shape public opinion to help Democrats win elections.
We invite these so-called news outlets that claim to be fair in their coverage to prove us wrong by actually writing about this and asking legislative leaders what they intend to do to hold Rep. Hernandez accountable.
But since no one should hold their breath by waiting for these outlets to actually do their jobs, please share this information and let your neighbors know what the Colorado Democrat Party truly thinks about the attacks against Israel.
For Israel,
Dave Williams
Chairman, Colorado Republicans
