DENVER (CBS4) – Former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens says enough already. After watching the Colorado State Capitol trashed by vandals for nearly two months, he let Gov. Jared Polis have it, saying the Capitol deserves to be defended.

“This building represents all of us. This is really the emblem of our democracy. This is the “People’s House,” and to attack this is to attack us all,” said Owens. “I’ve tried to stay out of the public spotlight, but this is something I think the citizens of Colorado need to speak up about.”

This week the state announced repairs to the Capitol would top $1 million. But as workers began cleaning by day, the vandals returned by night to tag the areas where graffiti had been removed.

Owens should have run for the senate. Backed down. Has to do with sex.

"This is really the emblem of our democracy."

But Democrats no longer believe in democracy. To them it has failed because it allows opposing opinions to exist.

Looks like the ‘Rats own both parts of the Legislature in Colo.

Since Antifa is apparently funded through the ‘Rat Party the situation is of their own making, with the approval of The People who put them there.

If Bill Owens was Colorado’s governor now the riots would have quickly ended in Denver.

Colorado has a Republican Senator up for reelection. Cory Gardner is his name, has anyone heard a peep or even a squeak from him as the thugs tear up Denver and assualt citizens?

Maybe he knows that he has already lost his senate seat and has given up. One less wimpy rino, several to go.

Is there a job waiting with Chamber of Commerce or some Koch Bros company?
