Here’s a video from early October where Ken Buck appears with the same interviewer to whom Hickenlooper made the “backwards thinking” remark.
Buck walks through the difficulty of being a prosecutor, the impact of the campaign on family life, and his involvement in the community. ”We are a very diverse community in Northern Colorado, and everybody embraces that diversity. It is really who I am to embrace the nature of our community and to really work closely with people,” said Buck.
Buck agreed with the host that Colorado was a combination “rugged individualism that the West is known for as well as a neighborly spirit–good fences make for good neighbors but good neighbors also help each other.”
Buck also explained comments he made on the 17th Amendment last year, the problems in the “age of the soundbite,” representing Colorado voters, cynicism in the information age, and social media.
By the way, here is the biography of the host Eden Lane:
Eden Lane is a unique figure in the world of television journalism. Eden broke ground during the 2008 Democratic National Convention as the first transgender broadcast journalist to cover a major political event for Denver’s PBS affiliate, and as a stringer for CBS News on Logo.
Eden is currently the host of Colorado’s popular PBS affiliate television show, InFocus. Eden is also the host of OUTSpoken, a prime time special series devoted to the LGBT community that’s now celebrating its 20th year.
Eden is more than just an on-air host for two popular local television shows – she’s also a mother, a wife, a proud resident of Colorado, and a pioneer for transgender people everywhere. Eden’s upcoming memoir captures her amazing journey from Broadway performer to suburban housewife to television star and community spokesperson.
