Today, your State Party Officers, staff, and volunteers were threatened with violence where the would-be assailant compared his potential attacks against us to that of the United Healthcare CEO assassination.
These threats of violence were fomented by and directly linked to a social media town hall on X (formerly Twitter) organized or mainly led by Eli Bremer, Brita Horn, Todd Watkins, Natalee Tennant, and Steve Peck. These same people who attempted a failed civil war within our State Party have been continually lying about your State Party in order to sow division and hate, which is now instigating others to literally threaten to murder your elected leadership.
This criminal behavior was done by their political ally named Anthony Chavez after engaging in the town hall with your RNC National Committeewoman, Christy Fidura. During their conversation, Mr. Chavez was led to believe falsehoods about your elected officers that included the RNC Chairman, Michael Whatley, being powerless, but otherwise desiring, to usurp the majority will of the SCC and intervene in State Party affairs.
Mr. Chavez threatened the following:
"Fucking you up is going to be the highlight go my year. I already have bail money."
"[This is] the guy that's been waiting for a reason to come find you... you're in danger."
"I know where you live."
"Soon"
"Dave is nothing. Who will run to investigate. Nobody. Where can you run to now? Presidential shooters hardly get investigated before the fact, you think you or Dave is that important that the cops are going to care?"
"@cologop can't figure out why the healthcare shooter is celebrated. Do you think they would understand if people celebrated when/if something similar happened to them? Personally I doubt it."
We have contacted the State Police to intervene and neutralize this immediate threat while notifying our office team to take steps to protect themselves.
If there's one thing we all should be able to unify against, it's threats of political violence. Hopefully, these agitators who have been sowing falsehoods and hate will have enough shame to stop their deception that clearly encourages physical harm to others.
We will update you as this situation unfolds.
For Freedom,
Dave Williams
Chairman, Colorado Republican Party
