Colorado Gov. Jared Polis took the stage during the third night of the Democratic National Convention Wednesday, and used the platform to attack the conservative Project 2025 agenda – including some false claims about the document’s contents.
The theme of the program was “Freedom,” with Democratic presenters tying the theme to abortion rights as well as to other issues like gay marriage and school book bans.
In his three-minute address, Polis took aim at Project 2025, the conservative agenda created by the Heritage Foundation that has become a political weapon for Democrats. Some see the document as a possible roadmap for a second Trump presidency, while Trump has tried to distance himself from the plan.
“Project 2025 would turn the entire federal government and bureaucracy into a massive machine,” Polis said before the DNC crowd. “It would weaponize it to control our reproductive and personal choices.”

Polis made multiple false or misleading claims about the policy plan, including some that had been thrust into the national spotlight by VP Kamala Harris and then debunked.
