Colorado GOP State Chair Steve House fired back at Donald Trump's presidential campaign yesterday, saying campaign staffers know they were treated "fairly" in Colorado, but are attacking state Republicans anyway because they want to advance a "narrative" that "typical politics" is "unfair and improper."
House is referring to a tweet stating, "We did it. #NeverTrump," launched on the state GOP Twitter feed Sunday, after it was clear Trump didn't win a single Colorado delegate to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July.
On the radio, House again denied that the state party was responsible for the tweet, and he said an investigation is underway.
House said on air his office is "very, very close" to figuring out who sent the tweet, and he promised he'd announce exactly what happened as soon as he knows.
In response to the GOP anti-Trump tweet, and other issues, the Trump campaign tweeted, "This will not be allowed," implying that Colorado might figure into a challenge of the outcome of the Republican National Convention.
Trump's attack on the Colorado GOP exploded across all media platforms yesterday, generating death threats and 3,000 calls to the state party, House told KNUS afternoon hosts Steve Kelley and Krista Kafer yesterday.
