The Colorado Republican Party officially reprimanded four elected GOP officials Monday for joining Democrats in defense of a Montana lawmaker who was kicked off the chamber’s floor while defending gender-affirming care for that state’s youth.Dave Williams announced the reprimand Wednesday morning in a fundraising email loaded with anti-trans and anti-drag rhetoric. The email and the formal resolution admonished state Reps.
The four Republicans signed onto a letter in May that was authored by state Rep. Brianna Titone, an Arvada Democrat, to call for the full reinstatement of Montana Democratic state Rep. Zooey Zephyr to her chamber.in April from speaking on the floor of the Montana House of Representatives.
The resolution only makes a passing mention of the gender issues at play, noting Zephyr’s effort was to “prevent a bill on banning so-called ‘gender affirming care’ in Montana.” But Williams’ fundraising letter is headed by images of people in drag with children. In one image, a drag queen appears to be reading a book while children sit on others’ laps. In the second, a child appears to be interacting with a drag performer who has dollar bills sticking from their outfit’s waistline.
He added, “This has nothing to do with transgender. This is about what happened, and what happened is wrong.” Hudson said he only signed Titone’s letter “to leverage my advantage against the Colorado Democrat bullies in the future” over shutting down debate in Denver. The committee’s admonishment instead only serves to further damage a historically hampered Republican Party and take time away from more pressing issues, he said.
