As I write this article that has nothing to do with politics other than that there are politicians involved in the story, I must say I can kind of relate… We have pictures of all the KYGO personalities on the wall outside of the studio, and I hate mine. I’ve asked for it to be replaced, but the ugly one remains for all to see.

Although a lot fewer people see mine than the one of President Donald Trump that was on display at the Colorado State Capital building. In his social media post on Sunday, Trump wrote “Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before.”

House Democrats said in a statement that the oil painting would be taken down at the request of Republican leaders in the Legislature.

Now if I can only get my bosses to read this and take mine down too…
