Denver Councilman Forced to Crawl Onto Stage

“A Denver city councilperson who uses a wheelchair said he was humiliated and dismayed after an election debate on Monday evening was held in a venue without wheelchair access, forcing him to crawl onto the stage while in full view of the crowd,” the Daily Beast reports.

“Chris Hinds, who is running for reelection, said he had had no choice but to participate in the debate. Had he refused he would have had to forfeit roughly $125,000 in campaign financing.”
