Colorado might send another LGBTQ-hating, QAnon nutjob to Congress!In it, Paulson rhymes her way through her political values, which include things like loving God, opposing abortion, being “pro-religious freedom” and “pro-police”, and supporting “traditional family” among other extreme right-wing beliefs.“And just to clarify, as a female adult, I know what a woman is,” she raps.According to her campaign website, Paulson, who graduated with a degree in “Family Life” from anti-LGBTQ Brigham Young University in 2007, opposes student athletes competing on teams that match their gender identity and wants to ban teachers from talking about LGBTQ issues in the classroom because she considers it “pornography.”So far, she doesn’t appear to have racked up any meaningful endorsements and, according to her campaign’s most recent Received Contributions Report filed with the state, she has accepted a total of $4,190.33 in donations.
This is in addition to $5,000 she donated herself earlier this year.Related: Gay-hating GOP nominee Tudor Dixon’s past life as a horror movie actress is back to haunt herUtah’s general election will take place on November 8.
Paulson is running against incumbent State Senator Karen Mayne, whose campaign has received nearly $50,000 in donations. Mayne was first elected in 2009 and has been Senate minority leader since 2019.Now, some tweets…Sold my Diplo tickets.
