Maddow Showers Praise on Colorado Gardner Protests

Last night, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow paid tribute to the going on two months of continuous pressure on GOP Sen. Cory Gardner to resist President Donald Trump’s agenda–and what Maddow sees as the direct effect those protests have had on Sen. Gardner’s statements about Trump since January:

We apologize for the video quality of this clip–if MSNBC would care to post this as its own embeddable item themselves, we’ll happily replace. Whether or not you consider Gardner’s hesitance to embrace an agenda he told us in January not to fear legitimate, you can’t deny that he has at least become a symbol of that hesitance. In the end, it’s Gardner’s votes that will put him one side or the other for posterity.

Whatever Gardner does, Colorado’s scrappy resistance movement can take a bow. You’re getting hard-earned credit.
