“This is a group that calls itself progressive. They’re spending a million dollars to try to get Ron Hanks — an insurrectionist — elected. … they know that if they can steal the nomination ... then Michael Bennett can slide into reelection.” COPolitics
On Wednesday, a super PAC called Democratic Colorado started a nearly $1 million run of ads to last through June 13 warning that Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Hanks is “too conservative for Colorado” — a typical attack during a general election, but not an expected message when the conservative party is picking its nominees.
On the same day, ProgressNow Colorado held a press conference slamming O’Dea, leading backers of that campaign to accuse Democrats and their supporters of playing “dirty pool politics.” They’re trying to pit U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet against a candidate they see as less palatable to a general election audience, state Rep. Colin Larson, a Littleton Republican who supports O’Dea said.
Hanks, a state representative from Cañon City, proudly states he was at the Jan. 6, 2021, rally for President Donald Trump that preceded the storming of the Capitol, though there’s no evidence he breached the building.
