First, it's not an article, it's an opinion column.
Second, why does the existence of this column on one topic affect your ability to take the newspaper seriously on a completely different topic? That makes absolutely no sense.
Third, it's the Democratic Party. There is no such thing as the "Democrat" Party.
Fourth, if it makes you feel any better, there is also not a story in the Denver Post about Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte, who was spared an arrest and jail time when he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in June for slamming a reporter to the ground. Yesterday a county judge ruled that the Republican congressman has until Sept. 15 to report to the Gallatin County Detention Center to provide booking information. If Gianforte doesn’t comply, the judge said it “shall be treated as contempt of court and a warrant will be issued for [his] arrest.”

Happy now?
