Colorado Dems Defy Trump, GOP Lawmaker Warns: 'Poking the Bear' May Spark Retaliation
Colorado Democratic lawmakers have been warned by a GOP lawmaker that they risk facing backlash from the Trump administration for passing a series of contentious bills, including one labeling pro-Trump individuals as 'domestic extremists'. The lawmaker says Democrats are 'poking the bear' with these orders.
Colorado Democrats who passed a series of contentious bills on Sunday are being warned by a Republican lawmaker that they may face repercussions from the Trump administration, who has expressed disapproval of the legislation. The lawmakers' defiance is seen as 'poking the bear' and could lead to consequences for those involved. One bill in particular, which labels parts of Colorado as unconstitutional due to its treatment of transgender people, has drawn intense criticism from President Trump. Democrats have accused Republicans of trying to undermine their efforts to advance social justice policies.
