Remember all the things President Trump has done to punish Colorado? Vetoing our bipartisan bill that would bring clean drinking water to 50,000 rural Coloradans. Threatening to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research — our nation’s premier climate research lab in Boulder. Denying disaster relief funding for families recovering from wildfires and flooding. Well, a new report confirms what we’ve known all along: the White House orchestrated a campaign of political retribution against Coloradans over President Trump’s petulant grievances. Newly released internal emails show that the administration summoned five agencies to the White House in December to discuss how the federal government could retaliate against Colorado for refusing to release convicted felon Tina Peters. And within just days of that call, Colorado lost millions in federal funding for clean energy projects, transportation, and denied disaster relief. Let’s be clear: federal resources are for the American people, not weapons against the president’s perceived enemies. John is committed to defending Coloradans and standing up to the bully in the White House. He’s calling on the Inspectors General of every federal agency involved to swiftly investigate how federal resources were used to target Colorado. We’re standing up for our state, our communities, and our families, and we will continue to use every tool at our disposal to fight back against Trump’s attacks.
