Colorado GOP leader whines women could bring #MeToo to his ‘own backyard’

“And if we don’t get out the vote — and if we don’t turn in our ballots and vote for Republicans, then we’re going to get more the same. But it’s going to be right in our own backyard,” the Colorado Times Recorder reported..............
