Democratic Senate candidate John Hickenlooper told a local television station it should be “protecting” him from an ethics complaint alleging that he improperly received gifts as governor of Colorado.
“You guys should be protecting me on stuff like this, where there’s no clear—how could there be—what’s the confusion, that I had a private meeting?” Hickenlooper said during an interview with KUSA. In the interview, he discussed a Colorado Independent Ethics Commission (CIEC) investigation into a 2018 complaint alleging that he had accepted travel perks, including free jet rides, from friends while he was governor.

He will make a great Colorado Senate candidate. Hickenlooper has more lost baggage than the Titanic.
He’s a democrat, ergo, he is corrupt.
Muh legacy!
The Press have been protecting Dems since Teddy murdered that girl. They had a momentary laps when they went after Gary Heart but he dared them to. There would not be a Democratic party today if the Press did a full throttle investigation and just mocked House members like Hank “Guam may capsize” Johnson.
Clearly the Media is the enforcement arm of the D-Rat party!
Whut Chickenpooper really said was: “You should thank me for not stealing from the State, which is shy I took bribes instead”
Howdy Doody Hickenlooper probably wouldn’t be much different than Gardner, but we DO need a Republican.
Of course he expects that he had EIGHT years in CO as Gov rarely being anywhere near the media and the media didn’t bother questioning where he was either. He is the awe shucks nice guy dem that acts like he has no clue he was upsetting anyone. That was part of the reason I knew there was no way no matter who supported him he’d do well – he has never had to answer a tough question. This is the same guy that hands the phone to an assistant if someone asks him something he doesn’t like and can’t respond to.
He’s a pendejo.
what’s the problem here?
he is a professional politician
professionals get paid for what they do.
we know he got paid.
now tell us what he did to get paid?
how much of our tax money was used or what public policies were implemented by this professional politician in order for him to be paid?
Heard his idiotic comment on local radio this morning…he really said it…exposed the super-secret media/politician handshake deal. Oops. Can’t un-clang that bell.
An expectation of ‘democrat privilege’.
If there was only a Republican party in Colorado
I have two things:
@Wiredog1837 – there is a Republican party in CO, the problem is that it is run by Bush / Romney style centrists, and not conservatives that are willing to fight.
I worked for a company that brought him in as a speaker. He was very good (at the time) at promoting capitalism and working. Then, he became a Democrat, and now he is a (insert favorite adjective here)
