Anyone choosing to visit the state’s capitol is doing so at their own peril in Colorado, Minority House Whip Rep. Richard Holtorf told Grant Stinchfield during a recent appearance on Real America’s Voice.
“Denver citizens and Colorado citizens are not safe coming to the state capitol, or the capitol of Colorado,” he said in a video clip posted on his Twitter/X account.
He’s critical of City of Denver budget reductions, some to police in the state’s capitol city, at the same time as out-of-control illegal migration, the clip details. He also details a concern toward crime related to illegal immigrants being unable to find work.
“When these immigrants can’t find jobs, they’re going to turn to crime,” Holtorf said.
Fluent in Spanish, Holtorf relayed a discussion with a pair of window-washers near the state’s capitol building, one from Columbia and the other from Venezuela.
“They are looking for work and if they can’t find it, arguably, they are going to turn to crime, at the same time, sir, that the mayor is talking about cutting the police budget by over $8 million,” Holtorf said.
He concludes, though, the super majority held by Democrats in the House will prevent any solutions.
“[These are] some of the most liberal representatives,” Holtorf said. “You’re not going to find relief from the state legislature in the State of Colorado from this madness.”
He continues: “They are all in it together trying to promote these far-left liberal policies. It is ruining this great state.”
