Colorado Republican caught faking endorsement from Democratic governor

By Eric Boehlert - October 10, 2018

Republicans are sinking to new lows in Colorado.

In a sign of desperation, and perhaps an indication of how defensive Colorado Republicans are with just four weeks until Election Day, noted right-wing GOP candidate Tim Neville was caught suggesting the state’s Democratic governor had endorsed him this year.

Not only that, but the mailer with the false endorsement, sent out to voters in Colorado’s District 16, also seemed to contain quotes from the governor, John Hickenlooper, praising Republican incumbent Neville. But those were completely fabricated.

The stunning part is that Neville is one of the state’s most outspoken right-wing politicians, who for years has embraced a radical agenda of trying to deny Colorado women of virtually all their reproductive freedoms.

The idea that the state’s Democratic governor would back Neville this year is preposterous. But the fake endorsement is especially fantastic considering Neville is locked in a must-win state Senate race, the outcome of which could determine what party controls the Colorado Senate for the next two years.
