'You're full of crap!' Republican lashes out as his false allegations hurled back at him

By Robert Davis
Published February 12, 2026 10:04 PM ET

A Republican state lawmaker in Colorado got fired up on Thursday after he was confronted about false allegations he made against his colleagues.

Scott Bottoms, a Republican running for Colorado Governor, said during a campaign stop last weekend that there is a pedophile ring being run out of the Colorado state capitol and the governor's office, a claim that he made without evidence. He also said he will reveal the names of those participating in the ring if Coloradans elect him Governor.

When local journalist Kyle Clark of 9News sought clarification from Bottoms about his comments, the lawmaker wouldn't agree to an interview. So Clark showed up at his workplace, the state capitol, and asked him point-blank.

"If you're serious about protecting children, why not present your evidence to local law enforcement?" Clark asked.

Bottoms denied making the statements. Clark played video clips from the campaign event and a separate radio interview where Bottoms repeated the claims about a pedophile ring.
