Republican State Rep candidate drops bomb shell comment [View all]

Source: KOAA-TV NBC Colorado Springs

A Colorado Springs candidate for the state house, known for his controversial comments, dropped another bomb shell.

We're talking about District 15 Republican Gordon Klingenschmitt and his most recent attack on openly gay Colorado Congressman Jared Polis.

"Democrats like Polis want to bankrupt Christians who refuse to worship and endorse his sodomy. Next he'll join ISIS in beheading Christians..." said Klingenschmitt.

It's a comment that has Democrats shocked and appalled yet county Republicans are still defending him.
