The Colorado General Assembly immediately got off to a troubled start on Wednesday, when multiple groups of pro-Palestinian protesters shouted from the House gallery, bringing the chamber’s business to a brief halt.
Similar protests took place in state legislatures in California and Arizona on their opening days earlier this week.
The disruption prompted Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat who was part of a group of senators participating in a ministerial role in the House, to say lawmakers “don’t have the time to waste.”
