Colorado Republicans back election denier for Senate primary
The Associated Press ^ | April 10, 2022 | By NICHOLAS RICCARDI (D-AP)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Republicans on Saturday voted to place on their U.S. Senate primary ballot a state representative who attended the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the attack on the U.S. Capitol and is a supporter of former President Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 presidential election.

The gathering is a key step toward garnering the party’s nomination to face Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in November. State Rep. Ron Hanks was the lead choice of 3,700 delegates to the state GOP’s assembly, winning 39% of the vote. His only GOP rival in the June 28 Republican Senate primary will be businessman Joe O’Dea, who chose to circulate petitions to get on the ballot rather than go through the assembly.

“I fully expected Donald Trump to win in 2020 — and he did,” Hanks, who has made the election his central issue, said to resounding cheers from the crowd at an arena in Colorado Springs. “When we saw what we saw on election night in 2020, it changed everything just like the changes we felt after 9/11.”

The gathering showed how central Trump’s election lies are to the party faithful, even as repeated audits and reviews — including by Trump’s own Justice Department — have found no significant voter fraud in the contest.

What the heck is an “election denier”?
A truth teller?
There is no question there was massive Dem/Biden ballot fraud in 2020.

Liberals are masters at framing the narrative.
And “conservatives” are masters at not doing anything about it.

Liberals are not masters, they simply enjoy that their side having bought and paid for the media receive the support of the media.

I won't argue with regards to your "conservatives" analysis. 🙂

Stopped reading right there. They're distortions, at worst. Fraud occurred, Associalist Press. Deal with it.

I probably should have stopped at the headline. Nobody's denying an election took place, just that it was clean.

The loaded term “Election Denier” identifies this story as continuing disinformation from the Deep State Media Feed.

Election denier? Hell, the entire Democrat Party spent all of Trump’s presidency denying his election and actively trying to drive him from office. What does the AP say about that?

When our corrupt and inept media use the word “denier”, we know they are afraid.

When they use the word “racist”, we know they have no argument.

Heck, when they use words at all, we should know to ignore them.

Words are NOT their friends. Word masturbation is their trade.

Cute, the rat propagandists at AP have new weapon “election denier”. Right out of the Alinsky playbook. AP has really stepped up the BS lately. Smells like fear to me.

Wow. Even for AP this is over the top bias. Do they realize that the majority of American voters believe there was election fraud including many Democrats?

The AP needs to get a better dictionary. Not a ‘denier’ —— an outraged citizen against voter fraud.....
