Supporters of Bernie Sanders in Colorado are threatening other Democrats in the state that they are going to take over. Speaking on Sunday at the opening of Sanders’ state office in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, state Rep. Joe Salazar, who endorsed Sanders in 2016, boasted:

The progressive movement has grown, and it’s grown up here in Colorado … In 2016, we were laughed at, the progressive movement. We were laughed at; we were chided; we were made fun of at the caucus. The establishment didn’t think that there was a real movement happening … Here we are, four years later, and we have the same candidate, who doesn’t shift based on the political winds, who’s saying the same things he said four years ago, that other candidates are trying to attach themselves to. We have him leading in states where he needs to lead, and he’s coming to Colorado to whoop some ass.
