The entire congressional delegation of Colorado, with all Republicans included, issued a statement on Tuesday condemning President Donald Trump's decision to relocate the U.S. Space Command from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, reported Axios' Andrew Solender.

Even infamous MAGA firebrand Lauren Boebert signed on to the protest.

"Today's decision to move U.S Space Command's headquarters out of Colorado and to Alabama will directly harm our state and the nation. We are united in fighting to reverse this decision," said the statement. "Bottom line — moving Space Command headquarters weakens our national security at the worst possible time."

"Moving Space Command sets our space defense apparatus back years, wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, and hands the advantage to the converging threats of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea ... imped[ing] our military's operational capability for years," the statement continued. "Space Command's long-term presence in Colorado Springs has also created a large number of civilian businesses and workers on which the Command now relies. Those people will not simply move with the Command at the military's whim. Many of them will leave the industry altogether, creating a disruption in the workforce that will take our national defense systems decades to recreate."
