Colorado state Senator Angela Giron (D-Pueblo) says that democracy in our republic is racist. Colorado citizens, angry over her votes to further restrict their Second Amendment civil liberties, have gathered thousands of signatures to force a recall election.
The group working to recall state Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, delivered more than 13,000 signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State’s office in Denver on Monday.
Pueblo Freedom and Rights needed 11,285 signatures from registered voters in Senate District 3 to force a recall election. The group said it returned 13,570 signatures. Victor Head, a founder of the group, said the names were all collected by volunteers and were reliable.
Giron said she wasn’t surprised that the group was able to deliver boxes full of petitions. But she said she was surprised at the racial undertones taken by some of the group’s supporters.
“I know it’s partially about me being a Latina and being in this position of authority,” said Giron.
Colorado Peak Politics revokes Giron’s race card:
Carefully ignored is the fact that three other Hispanics, both Republican and Democrat, male and female, opposed a number of gun bills this session.
Republican Latina Clarice Navarro opposed all the gun bills.
Democrat Latinos Ed Vigil and Leroy Garcia opposed the Mag Ban, and Vigil also opposed the background check bill.
No recall campaigns have been initiated against any of those Hispanic politicians.
According to Giron’s logic, it’s racist then that she wants to disarm these Hispanics.
Good job, Coloradans. Send the commie back to her racist hellhole.
A democrat acknowledging that democrats are racists? How refreshing!
NOT RECIST; IGNORAMAPHOBIC
IgnoramOphobic?
In no way racist.
Not our fault stupidity comes in all colors.
Good to see the Prog/Libs have a new race card. Their old one was getting quite tattered and warn out ;)
“Position of Authority”
What a phrase to be used by a representative who is to serve the interests of the public.
Ummmm Angela you were elected by the Pueblo population which is over 44% hispanic. Maybe it’s your gun grabbing unconstitutional stance that those you are to serve are offended by
It IS racist. She’s trying to make poor, black rifles become illegal. She also hates magazines with different capacity gifting.
Clearly racist.

“Position of authority”? Excuse me? Whatever happened to “public servant”?
They ALL get amnesia when they start cashing those checks.
I agree. Let a bunch of oxygen thieves vote and Shazam! being white is now a crime!
Yeah, I'm sure being a Constitutionally illiterate slut and a wannabe tyrant are completely irrelevant. It's all about the GWB (Governing While Brown).
Since the local news isn’t covering this, I went ahead and posted it on their message boards.
In several places.
Are you from Pueblo? No coverage there? Geez, I’m in PA and I’m following it. I guess where the local media stands.
I’m in Denver. They’re too busy reporting about a republican, “Scandal,” to mention Giron.
