Colorado GOP, with a bad case of recall fever, picks the wrong Democrat this time

I didn’t know how things could possibly get worse for Colorado Republicans after their disastrous showing in the 2018 midterms, but I guess I underestimated them.

All it took was a bad case of recall fever — no vaccinations, remember, for these guys — and before you knew it, the Neville branch of the GOP was teaming up with Dudley Brown and his Rocky Mountain Gun Owners to try to recall Rep. Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was among the victims of the Aurora theater shooting.

And why are they are trying to recall him? This is where it gets really crazy. Because Sullivan, whose son’s death spurred him to run for the legislature, sponsored the red-flag bill that now allows judges to temporarily take guns from the hands of those who are deemed a likely danger to themselves or those around them.
