Colorado Republican Party Has Reporter Removed For 'Unfair Reporting'

This is so foolish that even other Republicans are calling horseshit on Dave Williams for ordering the removal of senior reporter Sandra Fish.

Here's a thought, Republicans: If you don't want people to think you're fascists stop behaving like fascists and let reporters do their damn jobs.

A Colorado Sun politics reporter was escorted out of the state GOP assembly by a sheriff’s deputy Saturday after being told that party Chairman Dave Williams found her “current reporting to be very unfair.”

Reporter Sandra Fish, who has covered politics since 1982, received a text at 3:45 a.m. Saturday from a Colorado Republican Party event organizer saying that she was no longer allowed to attend. Fish went anyway to the assembly at the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo, where she checked in at the door and received a press credential to enter.

About an hour later, she was told to leave.

Fish initially refused, but was later escorted out by a law enforcement officer, who told her, “You have to be invited here. They don’t want you here. We have to get you out of here,” according to video of the scene taken by other journalists.

And the video.
