Day 960 of GOP election denier hysteria (Trump Big Lie Clown Show Circus, Colorado edition)

 

 ATTACK Of the Clown Show zombies 
Starring Colorado podcaster Joe Oltmann
Headline:  The Journal, 6/14/2023
In Buena Vista in central Colorado, colorful flyers with artful graphic design hang in shop windows, advertising summer festivals. Alongside, a smaller one promoted an event on Friday to “eliminate rigged machines” and “minimize fraud,” with Joe Oltmann, the Denver-area podcaster who claimed he had personal knowledge – and proof – that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. 
Oltmann has never produced any evidence or a smoking gun. He’s just talk – much of it paranoid, hateful and violent. 
Oltmann grips tightly this false narrative. Now, Oltmann and others are taking their show on the road in a grassroots effort to keep the lie alive in rural small town America, such as Buena Vista, population 2,988. His tour is a niche market for election deniers and, chances are, they’ll make their way to the Southwest.
