On Thursday, Gov. Kay Ivey reacted to Colorado's last-ditch effort to retain Space Command in one of the most Southern ways possible.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser on Wednesday filed a lawsuit in Colorado U.S. District Court against the Trump administration, claiming that the relocation of Space Command from Colorado Springs to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville was a political move, despite multiple studies showing Alabama was the best fit.
In a post on X, Ivey called Colorado "desperate" and added, "Bless their hearts."
"Desperate times in Colorado, desperate measures," she wrote. "Bless their hearts. Space Command Headquarters is on its way to Alabama."
Ivey agreed with Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, who posited on Wednesday, "The Inspector General for the Department of Defense has confirmed that President Trump's 2021 decision to select Huntsville was factually sound and well justified. It was the Biden administration that injected politics into the process when it reversed course, punished Alabama, and rewarded Colorado."
"As Attorney General Marshall stated, the law and facts are squarely on our side," the governor added. "We won on our merits and we will win in the courts."
