Colorado Senator Claims Democracy Is Racist

Colorado state Senator Angela Giron (D-Pueblo) says that democracy in our republic is racist. Colorado citizens, angry over her votes to further restrict their Second Amendment civil liberties, have gathered thousands of signatures to force a recall election.
The group working to recall state Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, delivered more than 13,000 signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State’s office in Denver on Monday.
Pueblo Freedom and Rights needed 11,285 signatures from registered voters in Senate District 3 to force a recall election. The group said it returned 13,570 signatures. Victor Head, a founder of the group, said the names were all collected by volunteers and were reliable.
Giron said she wasn’t surprised that the group was able to deliver boxes full of petitions. But she said she was surprised at the racial undertones taken by some of the group’s supporters.
“I know it’s partially about me being a Latina and being in this position of authority,” said Giron.
Colorado Peak Politics revokes Giron’s race card:
Carefully ignored is the fact that three other Hispanics, both Republican and Democrat, male and female, opposed a number of gun bills this session.
Republican Latina Clarice Navarro opposed all the gun bills.
Democrat Latinos Ed Vigil and Leroy Garcia opposed the Mag Ban, and Vigil also opposed the background check bill.
No recall campaigns have been initiated against any of those Hispanic politicians.
According to Giron’s logic, it’s racist then that she wants to disarm these Hispanics.

  1. Liberal logic. If you disagree with me, you must be a racist.

    1. Fair enough Brian, but the conservative equivalent logic is that if you disagree with me, you must be a communist. I can admit, liberals play the race card a little too much.

    2. What ever happened to liberals like JFK who respected our existing laws and were out to help the little guy? Today, the liberals or more appropriately the progressives want to restrict freedom and promote things that are just wrong like more gay rights and ignoring rights that "may not be infringed" like the second amendment.

    3. Stop putting JFK on a pedestal. Remember the "ask not what your country ....." - lefty BS. Then there was the Bay of Pigs - and then there was placing his unqualified brother (Bobby) into a position of power - not to mention his mob father and that machine that got him elected...

      JFK is FAR from sainthood....
