The open feud between former Rep. Tom Tancredo and the Colorado Republican Party is intensifying in the wake of Tuesday’s Republican primary for governor.

On Tuesday, businessman Dan Maes defeated former Rep. Scott McInnis (R-Colo.) by a slim margin in a primary that was marked by a McInnis plagiarism scandal.

In November, Maes will face Democrat John Hickenlooper and Tancredo, who is running under the banner of the American Constitution Party.

On Wednesday, Colorado’s GOP Chair Dick Wadhams called the governor’s race “a very difficult one” for Republicans and took aim at Tancredo.

“Tom Tancredo makes it unwinnable if he remains a third-party candidate,” Wadhams said. “That’s the way the race stands right now.”
