Social media users slammed the leftist politician
The far-left Democrat Colorado Secretary of State who tried keeping GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump off the state’s 2024 Republican Primary ballot voiced her frustration after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against her attempts to disqualify Trump on Monday.
“I am disappointed in the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision stripping states of the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for federal candidates. Colorado should be able to bar oath-breaking insurrections from our ballot,” wrote Colorado Sec. of State Jena Griswold.

The complaint comes in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling against the Colorado Supreme Court trying to take Trump off ballots by claiming he incited an insurrection on January 6th.
Griswold also appeared on MSNBC after the court’s ruling, saying, “My larger reaction is disappointment. I do believe that states should be able under our Constitution to bar oathbreaking insurrectionists. And ultimately this decision leaves the door open for Congress to act to pass authorizing legislation. But, we know Congress is a nearly non-functioning body. So, ultimately it will be up to American voters to save our democracy in November.”

Griswold isn’t the only Democrat suggesting Congress introduce legislation to keep Trump off ballots as Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) made similar remarks on CNN Monday.
“I am working with a number of my colleagues like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Eric Swalwell to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed an insurrection is disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” Raskin said.

You’re an insurrectionist who tried to steal OUR RIGHT TO VOTE because you hate Trump and you hate us. This is the most embarrassing day of your life, when even far leftist SCOTUS justices declare your actions illegal.

Your coup attempt just lost, 9-0.
You are the real threat to democracy.

Believe it or not a state does not have the ability to unilaterally declare ineligibility absent a trial.
The fact that you cannot comprehend this is another reason why you should be immediately removed from office.

Colorado’s radical leftist Secretary of State Jena Griswold is melting down at SCOTUS’s unanimous ruling. These people act like tyrants and then call you a “threat to democracy.”
