Beauprez blames Ritter for his own failings
Psychologists call it projection. And Bob Beauprez has it bad.
Beauprez's latest ad claims that in 2001 Bill Ritter, then Denver's district attorney, plea bargained an illegal immigrant defendant to allow him to avoid deportation. The illegal immigrant allegedly went on to commit other felonies.
The ad is misleading. Just entering America illegally is cause for deportation, according to the Rocky's Truth Test. The plea bargain didn't impact that. And as district attorney, Ritter took steps to make it easier for the federal government to initiate deportation proceedings.
Over his years in congress, Beauprez took no action on illegal immigration. Perhaps he feels guilty about it. But he shouldn't project his own failings onto Bill Ritter.
