The most generous possible way to interpret Hickenlooper agreeing to this is as an expression of his belief that his own party’s primary voters don’t matter.
The uncharitable read is that it’s more or less a taunt aimed at Julie Gonzales.

(You can see for yourself just how grossly that headline mischaracterizes Kiros' anodyne acknowledgment of the decades-long cycles of violence that define the Israel-Palestine conflict. Don't think this kind of thing is really working anymore, and certainly not when it's this thin and desperate.)

Looks like Rep. Diana DeGette briefly ran this digital ad promoting a wild smear of left-wing primary challenger Melat Kiros. It's been taken down after being active for just 13 hours yesterday.

Senator @hickenlooper.bsky.social is too busy to speak with the media, too busy to schedule a debate, too busy to face the voters. But he will find time to ask for money from groups like the American Petroleum Institute PAC and AIPAC. Make it make sense.

He also bankrolled Project 2025, and the right-wing machine that killed Roe. I spent 20 years organizing to protect the rights he spent millions trying to erase.
That's why I don't take corporate PAC money.

The Colorado Pols take on the Hickenlooper primary is basically: he has $4 million, so it's over.
Sure...But maybe consider what it says about your candidate that the best argument for him is how much money he has?

Voters don’t punish you for being on the wrong side. They punish you for being too afraid to have a side at all.
Evasion isn’t caution. It’s cowardice. And voters are done rewarding it.
