Representative Jason Crow comments on concerns about President Biden.
DENVER — State Rep. Steve Woodrow, a Democrat from Denver, is apologizing for a post he made on X Saturday, where he referred to former President Donald Trump as the"the devil." The post was made following an assassination attempt where a bullet grazed the former president's ear.
After Saturday's shooting, Woodrow posted,"The last thing we needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are." Woodrow deleted his X account shortly after making the post live, which received widespread criticism. In a statement to Colorado Politics on Monday, Woodrow stated that he condemned the attempt on Trump's life"in the most forceful of terms."
"My message, as inarticulate as it was, is that acts of violence like this are awful and only make it more likely that Trump now wins," he said."We must always resolve our differences peacefully at the ballot box—not through violence. I know people are hurting, and apologize that my words caused additional pain."KUSA would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
