DENVER — The Colorado Republican Party chairman on Tuesday accused state Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo of trying to force him from his position and warning he may face a lawsuit and false allegations of infidelity if he refused to leave. "No one should be bullied out of running for office, or serving as a leader in our Party," Chairman Steve House said in a statement. Coffman called the allegations "rumors and lies." "This matter belongs in a confidential session with the party's executive committee, and that is where it is headed," she said in a statement.
