Where Colorado's GOP Congressmen and Women Stood on the January 6th Coup Attempt

Representatives Boebert and Buck posing with an assault rifle days before the attack on the Capitol. Buck used this same rifle to threaten President Biden and former presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke in a viral video aimed at stoking political tensions.

When groups of angry Trump supporters stormed the United States capitol demanding that the 2020 Presidential Elections be overturned, members of the Colorado Republican congressional delegation aided, abided, and supported the Capitol insurrectionists.  Here what each of your Colorado GOP Congressmen and Women was up to before, after, and during the attempted coup on January 6th:

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (Congressional District 3 - Grand Junction Durango, Pueblo, Aspen, Glenwoord Springs)

Before a wave of violence gripped the Nation’s Capital, Representative Boebert wrongfully invoked the spirit of the Founding Fathers by tweeting “today is 1776.”   On January 6th, as pro-Trump insurrectionists stormed the Capitol Building, freshman Rep. Boebert took to twitter and proceeded to jeopardize the safety of Speaker Pelosi. In a series of two tweets, Representative Boebert informed her hundreds of thousands of followers that “we were locked in the House Chambers” and that “the Speaker has been removed from the chambers.”

Boebert allegedly gave reconnaissance tours of the Capitol to plotters on the day prior to the storming of the Capitol.  Ben Goldey, Communications Director for Rep. Boebert, resigns following the January 6th insurrection due to his rejection of the views held by his former boss.

Similarly, Ken Buck used the same rifle to threaten President Biden and former presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke

Congressman Doug Lamborn (Congressional District 5 - Colorado Springs)

Voted to Impeach Trump: NO In defiance of his oath of office, Representative Lamborn joined the coup caucus with 140 other House GOP members and launched multiple attacks upon the sacred practices that holds the United States together. Representative Lamborn signaled his support for Representative Boebert and her reckless desire to carry a loaded weapon in the US Capitol.

We can and must put a stop to the Colorado GOP's blatant support for violence. Here's how we do it:

We aim to strengthen Colorado’s Democratic congressional majority and expand it by laying the groundwork (registering voters, running ads, canvassing, and getting out the vote) to unseat the remaining three Republican congressional representatives in our state.

The Colorado Turnout Project is a coalition of students, activists, veterans, and Coloradans from all walks of life who are fed up with the Colorado House Republican delegation’s complicity in our nation's venomous political atmosphere. We cannot allow Congresswoman Boebert, Congressman Buck, and Congressman Lamborn to remain in office and radicalize even more vulnerable Coloradans. The time to stand up is now.  Can you join us in our fight to remove hate mongers from Colorado’s Congressional delegation?
