Colorado Gov. Jared Polis made a significant donation to the campaign of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's primary opponent.
According to campaign finance records, Polis, a Democrat, donated $1,000 to Antone Melton-Meaux, a Minneapolis attorney who is running as a Democrat in the primary race for Omar's seat, on Monday.
Melton-Meaux has significantly outpaced Omar in terms of fundraising. In the most recent filings, he brought in $3.2 million, nearly 7 times the fundraising haul that Omar brought in during the same time period. Omar's campaign has said it is not concerned about Melton-Meaux's fundraising success because many of his donations flow in from outside of the district.
**SNIP**
Polis, who was Colorado's first openly gay governor, holds more centrist political positions than Omar, who is a member of the democratic socialist "Squad" featuring Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib.
Democratic voters will decide between Melton-Meaux and Omar during the primary election on Aug. 11.

Send her back! Send her back! Send her back!
The openly gay Governor holds a more centrist position.
That’s when you know your party has gone to the left :-)
could it be that this she has a brain in her head and realizes what would happen to gay folks if Muslims took over?
Or is it a smart political move?
These Are the souls that try men’s times.
But you do have a great point about Muslims and gays.
Oh that was what the article said not me :-)
Was the inversion of the Paine quotation as well as identifying the gay governor as “she” and “her” deliberate?
I can’t figure out if you are being really clever or posting while exhausted (or the like).
Probably won't be.
And if Omar wins the primary, he will support her in the general.
The she was a mistake. I wasn’t sure and I was too lazy to go back :-)
The inversion was me :-)
Saying someone is more centrist than Omar is damning with feint praise.
Also, $1,000 is hardly significant.
“I’m here in Colorado, and I would never think of Polismoker as ‘centrist’.”
Hear hear. He’s still holed up in his bunker in Boulder and won’t come out.
And NO I don't support Omar.... she's a supporter of the terrorist organization CAIR!
We need to start remembering 911 and get muslims out of our government IMHO
Colorado’s RAT gov is a fag from kalifornia who is directly responsible for much of Colorado’s problems. Rich kalifornia fags = “The Colorado Project.”
This week, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said she would not endorse Biden and a co-chair of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner, likened voting for Biden to eating a "bowl of ---t."Biden calls for violent protesters to be 'found, arrested and tried'
