An event coming up this Saturday evening in Pueblo hosted by an organization calling itself the Strong Women of Pueblo County caught our eye for a reason that might be as obvious to you as it was to us:
As you can see, one of the hosts of Saturday’s Strong Women of Pueblo event is not like the others! Susan Carr, Cathleen Culhane Howland, Colorado House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese, Barbora Hurd, the spouse of CO-03 GOP nominee Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd and admittedly maybe the one who should be running for Congress…
And a dude named Tom Ready.
Of course as our readers know, not only is Tom Ready not a “Strong Woman,” he’s a wildly inappropriate choice to host an event for any sort of woman, with a record spanning decades of domestic violence allegations and protective orders filed against him. In 2014, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner was slammed by the survivors of the Sandy Hook school shooting for hosting a fundraiser at Ready’s home after Ready publicly questioned Alex Jones style whether the shooting “really happened.”
Although in 2024 we’re not going to judge anyone who wants to be a Strong Woman, it’s a question worth asking whether Tom Ready’s far-out record is helpful for promoting any of the women candidates benefiting from this fundraiser. And while that technically doesn’t include Jeff Hurd’s campaign for Congress, Barbora Hurd might want to know more about her only male co-host before she puts the family name on the line.
This remains true even if Ready is making a bigger life choice than we thought.

That wayward apostrophe in "mimosas" hurts me, but Republicans never were big readers.
Agree about the possessive mimosas LOL. I do think it was interesting that when Trump was shot there were immediately those that questioned whether or not it was real. Some questioned if it was a bullet. I read some crazy stuff about shrapnel, glass, a hornet… Then we have a certain state rep posting on X about "sympathy for the devil"… We have to be careful we don't step into the same gopher hole that Ready did years ago.
Ready absolutely knew he was passing on some bonkers shit. He doubled down on it at the debate with Sal Pce. I probably still have the vid on my youtube channel. Ready was like," Well, I'm just questioning….it hsn't been proven either way. I have an open mind…"
And then his history of intimidation,, harassment, and domestic violence is just vile. The idea of his chairing a "Strong Woman" event is cruelly ironic.
But he is one of the GOP 's biggest fundraisers, so they all look the other way…
