Colorado GOP leader whines women could bring #MeToo to his 'own backyard'

By Eric Boehlert - October 9, 2018

Republicans are doubling down on scare tactics as Democratic women look to flip the Colorado Senate.

The head of the Colorado Republican Party has warned voters that if Democrats, and specifically Democratic women, succeed in taking control of the Colorado Senate in November, they could unleash a #MeToo witch hunt in the General Assembly.

The scare tactic was unfurled as the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings were unfolding in Washington, D.C.

“If your listeners don’t like what’s going on and they don’t like the Democrat behavior at the U.S. Senate, then they shouldn’t like it at the state Senate, either,” the GOP’s state chairman, Jeff Hays, recently announced on a local radio show.

“And if we don’t get out the vote — and if we don’t turn in our ballots and vote for Republicans, then we’re going to get more the same. But it’s going to be right in our own backyard,” the Colorado Times Recorder reported.
