(Ladies and gentlemen, your Congressman Doug Lamborn. – promoted by Colorado Pols)

POLS UPDATE: Mother Jones posts this clarification:

*Clarification: Gunnoe was not approached by Rep. Lamborn’s staff, as the story originally stated, according to his spokesperson Catherine Mortensen. After unsuccessful attempts to get comment from Lamborn’s office on Monday, Mother Jones was contacted by Mortensen on Tuesday afternoon; she confirmed Lamborn decided that the photo should be barred from the presentation-but did so without looking at it himself, instead relying on the recommendation of Natural Resources Committee staff, who also contacted the police.

Judge for yourself–here’s a link to the photo. Original post follows.

When award-winning West Virginia anti-coal activist Maria Gunnoe went to Washington, DC, last week, she was prepared for obstructionist tactics. She was prepared to face icy stares and hard questions from Republican lawmakers. She was not prepared to be branded a pedophile.

Stay classy Doug.
