As readers know, freshman GOP Rep.

Colorado’s long-ousted but still not forgotten Sen. Cory Gardner appeared on the Fox News Channel earlier today to praise President Donald Trump’s agenda and chastise Democrats for “calling half of the country traitors” and “telling people to eff off when they disagree”–the premise being these are things that Democrats do and not, you know, Donald […]
