A judge Friday moved to block plans for a Colorado GOP meeting where critics of embattled state Chairman Dave Williams intended to vote on his ouster.

Arapahoe County District Court Judge Thomas W. Henderson issued a temporary restraining order barring a meeting scheduled for Saturday morning at a church in Brighton from taking place.

Henderson said in his ruling “the leadership of the Colorado Republican Party would be called into question, leaving the party in disarray roughly 100 days before election day on Nov. 5, 2024.”

Organizers of the meeting say they’ll still meet, but for a rally and an opportunity for candidates to replace Williams to address other Republicans.

“Make no mistake, we will repair and heal our state party…together,” wrote Todd Watkins, one of the organizers and a defendant in the lawsuit in an email. “We will respect the judge’s order and not risk entangling any of you by conducting a meeting.”

The ruling came as six of the state’s Republican congressional candidates said Williams should step down as party leader, and as U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert suggested in a Facebook post that Williams should go.

I would do drunk hand stuff with the right bar owner.

For real, this guy is lackluster and terrible for the GOP in Colorado. I fully support him staying right the fuck where he is unless they're going to put up someone even worse.
