Lawmaker pretends to apologize for his callous assassination comment

A Colorado Democrat state lawmaker who called former President Trump the devil and complained the assassination attempt on his life would generate undeserved sympathy is now pretending to apologize for his mean tweet.

State Rep. Steven Woodrow told Colorado Public Radio that his comment posted on X, which he later deleted after a storm of criticism, was just inarticulate.

He apologized, then went on to explain he meant exactly what he said.

“My message, as inarticulate as it was, is that acts of violence like this are awful and only make it more likely that Trump now wins.”

Woodrow’s cold heart and ruthlessness aside, he’s not wrong.

The tragic assassination plot that killed one spectator and injured two others, plus the Democrats unfeeling reaction to such domestic terrorism will surely motivate more Republicans to cast ballots for Trump in November.

Democrats’ over-the-top response to Trump, commonly called Trump derangement syndrome, has only gotten worse since the man left office.

And he did leave office. Willingly. with the Constitution firmly intact, despite what the left would have us believe.

And yet every plot to destroy Trump’s personal life and political aspirations has backfired spectacularly.

Woodrow has since deleted his entire account on X, and Colorado is all the better for that.

CO State Rep. Steven Woodrow can no longer effectively chair the House State, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee. He must be replaced in that capacity by the Speaker. @McCluskieforCO @MonicaDuran23 #coleg #copolitics pic.twitter.com/BXcfdqPO3J
