Colorado Republicans overwhelmingly voted to remove state party chairman Dave Williams by a vote of 161.66 to 12 on Saturday. Some people’s votes only counted for a fraction of a full vote. The move comes after Williams sent an email attacking Pride Month and referring to the LGBTQ+ community as “godless groomers.” He also called for the burning of all Pride flags on social media. More than 100 Republican leaders across Colorado had previously signed a petition to remove their state party chairman from his position.
