Democrats comment on Republican Glenn’s win

Rick Palacio, Chair of the Colorado Democratic Party, released a statement on Tuesday in response to the Colorado Republicans nominating Darryl Glenn as their U.S. Senate candidate.

Palacio stated the following:

“The Republican Senate primary trainwreck is finally over, and even Republicans are saying that the real winner oftonight’s primary is Michael Bennet.

“Republicans just nominated a candidate who says Donald Trump is a ‘patriot,’ thinks Ted Cruz should be the next Supreme Court justice and believes the real problem with Washington is that there is too much bipartisanship between Republicans and Democrats.

“Glenn rode the momentum of endorsements from out-of-state extremists ranging from Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin to right-wing special interest groups like the Senate Conservatives Fund and FreedomWorks, to win against an historically weak field. But he will lose to Michael Bennet in November because he is a climate change denier who is tethered to Trump, against fixing our broken immigration system, and even wants to defund Planned Parenthood. Glenn is too extreme for Colorado and will add to the dysfunction of Washington.”
