In four words, Colorado House Minority Whip Ryan Armagost may have summed up his anticipation toward a new leadership role and the sentiment for Republicans in Colorado and throughout America.

“Is it January yet???,” the District 64 member of the Colorado House of Representatives wrote Monday on Twitter/X, as he opined on the Hunter Biden pardon in Washington.

The reference to January, of course, alludes to the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump and the Colorado Republicans having added three seats in the state House.

“The morally bankrupt Democrats continue to fizzle into the darkness and show no boundaries of their hypocrisy and blatant disregard for the crimes/criminals that they all support, the victims left behind, and the overall health of our state and nation,” wrote Armagost, sounding as if he will be a ball-in-glove fit for minority whip. “His [Joe Biden’s] criminal son is more important than you.”

He points out the swing in the Colorado House, where Republicans eliminated a Democrat supermajority with wins by such candidates as Rebecca Keltie in District 16, Dan Woog in District 19 and Ryan Gonzalez in District 50.

“Even dark blue [Colorado] picked up three Republican seats in our state House for the first time in over a decade,” Armagost wrote. “We have to do better, so keep voting right. Let’s keep flushing the morally bankrupt from any and all leadership.”

He finished the Tweet adapting a hashtag synonymous with a phrase from Democratic President Barack Obama: #ElectionsHaveConsequences
