For those not from this state, Colorado Republicans took up a collection 6 years ago, and chose this Republican lady to paint the portrait and it's been hanging in our state capitol for those years. It was only this year that Chump complained about "many people" not liking it and then Colorado Republicans immediately took it down.

Colorado Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, a Republican, has said that the Trump portrait should be replaced with one “that depicts his contemporary likeness.”

The boot licking will never end. These people have no backbone, apparently.
