A shadow Republican Party emerges in Colorado amid more turmoil

The newly selected GOP chairman is building a shadow party in Colorado as its former leadership refuses to relinquish their posts.

Why it matters: The competing interests amplify the drama surrounding the state's Republican Party and splinter resources in a crucial election year.

Catch up quick: The party's governing body overwhelmingly voted last Saturday to remove controversial chairman Dave Williams and two top lieutenants, selecting Eli Bremer, an unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senate in 2022, to lead the party.

Williams came under fire for purging non-Trump conservatives from the party, spending the party's money on his failed congressional bid and sending an anti-LGBTQ email advocating for burning Pride flags.

Yes, but: Williams is refusing to honor the results of Saturday's vote, saying the meeting called by his rivals was illegitimate.
