Said Julie McCluskie: “I did not have assurances that members on both sides of the aisle would rise to the occasion, and I had concerns that continuing to bring this issue into the chamber would have had long term detrimental impacts on how we are able to work together for the people of Colorado.”
Yet far-left Democrats are the ones who have caused all the troubles regarding civility in the Colorado House chamber. McCluskie likely didn’t want to appear to be pro-Israel when the Democrats’ thoroughly and efficiently propagandized far-left base passionately hates the Jewish state.
“Families of Hamas victims denied Colo state House visit by Democrat leader,” Colorado Peak Politics, February 6, 2024:
Decorum in the state legislature sunk to an embarrassing new low this week under the rule of Democrat House Speaker Julie McCluskie.
Several dignitaries and family members of some of those kidnapped in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel were denied recognition on the House floor.
They were banned by McCluskie who admitted she could not maintain civility among the lawmakers to treat the visitors and victims with civility.
Instead, McCluskie demanded respect for the radicals who have recently behaved so abhorrently towards Jewish lawmakers, that at least one has resigned in frustration.
“We must respect the deep personal connections members in this chamber have to this ongoing tragedy. I did not have assurances that members on both sides of the aisle would rise to the occasion, and I had concerns that continuing to bring this issue into the chamber would have had long term detrimental impacts on how we are able to work together for the people of Colorado.”
Nice try McCluskie, but it’s your Democrats like Elisabeth Epps who protested from the House gallery and heckled Jewish lawmakers on the floor who are the problem.
Then there’s Tim Hernandez who took down the U.S. flag on his desk and replaced it with a flag that represents Palestinians….
After his guests were blocked by McCluskie at the last minute, the dignitaries were instead honored in the Senate chambers….

Ony the evil can change the evil….if they wish to remain evil, then evil they will remain.
there is the saying ‘you can’t fix stupid.’ we can’t fix evil either. And things are growing worse all over the planet.
the U.S. dem senator murphy said that “undocumented Americans” are the people he and his party “care about most.”
Westman says
“….work together for the people of Colorado.” (and to hell with the rest of you..)
The hypocrisy runs deep…
Unfortunately Colorado can’t be moved, like a square in a children’s thumb puzzle, over to California where it belongs. Like CA’s wokes, it can be depended upon to make demands of the US and its taxpayers and also never shed a drop of blood in its defense.
The most effective way to remove the woke young of Colorado to another country, or, replace their ignorance about international hostilities, is bringing back the military draft for both men and women.

What Julie Mc Cluskie was terrible. For those Jihadists of Hamas who viciously engaged in that vile heinous sex assaults and outright rapes as well as other malicious and murderous Islamic terrorist jihad attack against those peaceful young people at that music festival , on October 7th., are also horrendously heinous and vile by raping girls and women and brutally cruelly hateful and wickedly mutilating them are Muslim terrorists of the most abhorrent and despicable sort.
Those Hamas jihadists are an outright abomination.
Furthermore it’s also very fitting to add that this demonic jihad entity, Hamas, with is jihadists, have no limits, at all, to its cruel heinous and vile horrendously horrific vile and heinous Islamic evils that it so maliciously and murderously commits.
Shame on Mc Cluskie

Tim Hernandez was a teacher. Good lord, that should be a crime against humanity or at the very least criminal stupidity on the part of whoever hired him. You will never fix that level of stupid. Man up Tim, go on over there and join the ranks of hamas. Bet you wont.
I would like to thank Tim for taking down the American flag on his desk. His display of the American flag is an abomination in the eyes of true Americans. We dont need his kind in the USA. I will gladly pay for his ticket to Gaza, anytime.
