Jan. 6, 2021 (DENVER, Colo.) Attorney General Phil Weiser released the following statement on today’s mob attack on the U.S. Capitol:
“The attack on the U.S. Capitol today is not only an assault on one of our iconic democratic structures, it is an assault on democracy itself. The mob responsible for today’s disgraceful spectacle in our Nation’s Capital, and those who encouraged their behavior, must be held accountable. Their actions are the opposite of patriotism.
“I am shocked and saddened that we have come to such a dark moment in our nation’s history. Like many Coloradans, I am processing the shame, sadness, and uncertainty I am feeling today. As we look forward, however, we must believe in our nation’s experiment of self-governance and our ability to summon the better angels of our nature.

Colorado s upcoming legislative session will not kick into high gear until at least mid-February because lawmakers do not want to hold large gatherings during the pandemic.
Democrats say the plan is still to gavel in the session as scheduled on Jan. 13, but only to swear in new members and address any urgent business.
Lawmakers say they will then go into a recess until at least Feb. 16 to avoid unnecessary exposure.
Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, said the arrival of the vaccine is promising, but the pandemic is far from over.
