‘Looked like an insurrection to me’ Jay Nixon on Colorado Supreme Court ruling

Some Republican politicians in Missouri are voicing opposition to the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling that disqualifies Donald Trump from the presidential ballot in that state. 

The 4-3 ruling declared that Trump violated the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause on January 6th, 2021. 

Former Democratic Governor Jay Nixon, though, seems to think the high court in Colorado made the right decision: “I’ve not gone through the entirety of the record and (am) not really that aware of Colorado law as it relates to the federal amendments. But you know, from my chair looking from Missouri when January 6 was happening and looking at that TV – it looked like an insurrection to me.” 

But two Republicans who are running for Missouri governor are speaking out against the ruling. 

State Senator Bill Eigel called the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision “outrageous,” while Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft said it was both wrong and would cause confusion in the November election.
