U.S. Senate GOP candidate Darryl Glenn picked up a major endorsement on Tuesday in the race to be the nominee to run against Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet.
Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has come out in support of the Colorado Springs Republican, calling him a proven hero.
“Over two decades of exemplary military service brought him honor and adulation from his intelligence, leadership skills, fiscal responsibility and patriotism,” Palin said on her Facebook page. “His deserved recognition honed a servant’s heart. He’s one who proudly clings to God, guns and our Constitution.”
It is unknown if the endorsement also will mean more money from Palin’s super PAC, Building America’s Future.(snip)
In her endorsement Tuesday, Palin specifically cited Glenn’s fiery “All Lives Matter” speech at the Colorado GOP State Assembly in April, which helped win him more than 70 percent of the delegates, freezing out five other candidates who also were trying to get onto the ballot through the party’s caucus process.
In that speech, Glenn, who is black, was responding to the “Black Lives Matter” movement.
Three others have qualified for the June 28 primary through the petition process. They include former Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier, Colorado Springs businessman Robert Blaha and former state Rep. Jon Keyser of Morrison. A fifth candidate, Pueblo West resident Jerry Eller, was defeated at the assembly but has filed paperwork to qualify as a write-in candidate.
The Colorado Democratic Party immediately jumped on the endorsement, calling both Palin and Glenn extreme.
“Just as Palin has shown for years that she is out of touch with mainstream America, Glenn — a climate-change denier who has called Donald Trump a patriot — has shown he is out of touch with the people of Colorado,” said party spokesman Chris Meagher.

Will the racist Democrat spokeshole Chris Meagher and his closeted KKK buddies burn a cross on Darryl Glenn’s lawn now?
They’ll have Shawn King accuse him of being a race traitor.
I voted for Darryl Glenn in the Colorado primary and will vote for him again in the general.
