John Suthers Throws Slurs at Dems
Attorney General John Suthers told a statewide gathering of fellow Republicans that Democratic lawmakers don't care as much about public safety as Republican lawmakers.
To back up his point, Suthers singled out the House Judiciary Committee, which he called "a perfect storm of liberal lawyers from Denver and Boulder."
The committee chairman, Rep. Terrance Carroll, D-Denver, was livid when he learned of Suthers' comments.
"The attorney general said what?" Carroll demanded to know Tuesday.
He called Suthers' comments "unprofessional" and a "cheap political potshot."
Suthers' remarks came during an address to the Republican State Central Committee on Saturday, in which he referred to recent votes by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.
"They voted to abolish the death penalty. They voted to let parolees vote, despite my belief it is unconstitutional in the state of Colorado. They have voted to allow people to seal their criminal records after 10 years . . . " Suthers said.
