Opinion: Colorado Rep. Tim Hernández wasn’t elected but he can be recalled for excusing Hamas terrorism

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:00:42 GMT

The low-hanging fruit for column topics of late has been Republican moral turpitude but this week a Colorado Democrat deserves the honor.On October 7, Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1,200 men, women, and children in a heinous surprise attack in southern Israel. The terrorists injured thousands more and took hostages whose whereabouts remain unknown. Before the blood could dry, Colorado Rep. Tim Hernández attended a rally “In Support of Palestinian resistance in Gaza” on the Colorado Capitol steps.Hernández was appointed by a Democratic Party vacancy committee to fill the House District 4 seat in Denver earlier this year. The choice must seem a bit imprudent at this juncture. Perhaps committee members should have viewed Hernández ’s statements about the cultural revolution against whiteness and other radical leftist garbage as character-defining.At the rally, Hernández also argued with a Jewish man who, passing by on his way to synagogue, stopped to question the lawmaker’s parti...

Republicans pick Jim Jordan as nominee for House speaker, putting job within the Trump ally's reach

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:00:42 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans chose firebrand Rep. Jim Jordan as their new nominee for House speaker during internal voting Friday, putting the gavel within reach of the staunch ally of GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump.Electing Jordan, a founding member of the Freedom Caucus, to the powerful position second in line to the presidency would move the GOP’s far right into a central seat of U.S. power. A groundswell of high-profile backers including Fox News’ Sean Hannity publicly pressured lawmakers to vote Jordan into the speaker’s office after the stunning ouster of Kevin McCarthy.Jordan, of Ohio, will now try to unite colleagues from the deeply divided House GOP majority ahead of a public vote on the floor, which could push to next week. Republicans split 124-81 in Friday's private vote. “I think Jordan would do a great job,” McCarthy said ahead of the vote. “We got to get this back on track.”Frustrated House Republicans have been fighting bitterly over whom they should ele...
