Colorado Democratic Party has censured Polis [View all]

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters.

Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events.

90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

This is a good start but the DNC should follow their lead and do the same, or even better expel him from the party for this grotesque miscarriage of justice in service of a minion of drumpf.
