The aftermath of a Colorado court decision excluding Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary, tensions rise as U.S. Navy veteran and congressional candidate Trent Leisy calls for treason trials against the judges involved.
The controversial 4-3 ruling accused Trump of violating the 14th Amendment due to his alleged role in the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Leisy, a Weld County councilman, accuses the judges of betraying the constitution and seeks treason trials, prompting heated debates on the limits of political discourse.
The dispute centers on whether Trump’s actions constituted insurrection, a characterization strongly contested by Trump and his supporters. Leisy, endorsing Trump as the Rightful President, claims the court aims to restrict voters’ choices, a sentiment echoed on his social media platforms.

Leisy’s call for treason trials gains attention as he plans a Never Surrender rally on December 30 at DCF Guns in Colorado Springs. This event, welcoming Coloradans from all affiliations, protests against the four traitor justices, whose names have reportedly faced threats, prompting increased security measures.
Leisy’s unwavering support for Trump aligns with his belief in Trump’s leadership within the Republican Party, differing from current Republican holder Ken Buck. Leisy even proposes legislation for a three-term presidency, attributing Trump’s 2020 loss to a fraudulent election.
The rally’s location, owned by conservative activist Joe Oltmann, known for controversial remarks, adds an extra layer of complexity. The unfolding situation raises questions about free speech boundaries, judiciary impartiality, and the impact of inflammatory language on the democratic process.
Colorado’s events underscore deep divisions within the Republican Party and the broader political scene, as candidates like Leisy navigate expressing convictions while maintaining respectful discourse within the democratic framework.
