[00:00:00]in Denver. How pissed off, if they are, are fellow Democrats.

[00:00:06]>> Pretty pissed off. I I mean, they've been furious with him for months because it's been clear for months that he was going to do this. And and everybody from the county clerks, who I should say there are more Republican county clerks in Colorado than there are Democrats just due to the sheer number of rural counties, but they have spoken as one voice to say, "Don't do this. This will make our jobs harder and potentially less safe if you let her out. It sends a terrible message. You had Democrats from Attorney General Philiser to Secretary of State Jenna Griswald to the united voice of every Democrat in the Colorado legislature telling Polus, "Don't do it." Which I think just just knowing him covering him for more than a decade only made him more inclined to do it. But yeah, they're furious. What are they going to do about it? Nothing, right?

[00:00:48]It's his power. He's able to do it.

[00:00:50]There's some far-left voices talking about the idea of calling the legislature back to impeach him in his final months in office. It's not going to happen. Uh but yeah. Yeah, they're furious with him.
