ap: Colorado Rep. Tim Hernández wasn’t elected but he can be recalled for excusing Hamas terrorism

Hernández’s defends the indefensible — terrorist acts killing innocent men, women and children

As the violence intensified, Israel said it was carrying out an attack "in the Gaza Strip" although it later clarified there were no boots on the ground.

Rep. Tim Hernández's presence at the rally, his comments caught on video, and his evasive public statement demonstrate that at best he lacks maturity for the position or at worst he believes heinous acts of violence are justifiable. Hernández was never elected to that house seat but he can be recalled from it.
