BREAKING: Trump campaign blasts Colorado judges who removed him from 2024 ballot, vows to appeal to US Supreme Court

The Trump campaign issued a statement after the Colorado Supreme Court determined that Donald Trump, former president and frontrunner for the GOP nomination for president in 2024, was disqualified from the state's ballots for having committed "insurection."

 "Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump," campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said, "supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice.

"Democrat Party leaders are in a state of paranoia over the growing, dominant lead President Trump has amassed in the polls. They have lost faith in the failed Biden presidency and are now doing everything they can to stop the American voters from throwing them out of office next November," he continued.

"The Colorado Supreme Court issued a completely flawed decision tonight and we will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision," Cheung said. "We have full confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these unAmerican lawsuits.”

Trump has not been charged with nor convicted of the crime of inuurection, which is a disqualifying crime under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. That amendment was ratified after the Civil War in order to prevent Confederate leaders from being elected to hold office at the federal level. 

A suit was brought by an activist not-for-profit from DC on behalf of citizens from Colorado demanding that Trump not be permitted to run for president in the state. A lower court found in his favor, however that ruling was appealed by both the activist group and the Trump campaign as the ruling stated that Trump would not be removed, but that he had committed insurection. The campaign alleged that Trump had not committed an insurection.

The claim that he had committed an insurection stems from the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol Building, over which more than 1,000 Americans have been charged. Biden's Department of Justice is continuing to arrest those who were on the grounds that day, and has brought suit against Donald Trump over the protests. However, in no court document has Trump been charged with insurection.
