As Politico’s Ashley Gold reports, Republicans are pushing a not-really-new conspiracy theory among their more persuadable base members that major social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook are systemically biased against conservatives: Republicans are turning their grievances about biased tech companies into a rallying message for a difficult election year. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy […]
This is what Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) said on March 16, 2016 when President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court: “We stand at a pivotal point in our nation’s history. The Obama Administration continues to use the judicial and regulatory systems to push through its legislative agenda, shifting the balance of power […]
The news broke moments ago—Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy will retire. Two years ago, after Justice Antonin Scalia died in office, Senator Cory Gardner said it was too late in an election year to confirm a replacement. “Our next election is too soon and the stakes are too high,” Gardner said, “the American people deserve […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) said last week that he’s not planning to run again for his current U.S. Senate leadership position, in which he’s charged with electing Republicans to the U.S. Senate. His reason for stepping away: “I am going to be focused on 2020,” he told The Hill, a Washington […]
UPDATE #3: A spokesperson for Vice President Mike Pence calls out Gardner directly: Oh my. VP Pence’s press secretary now claims Sen. Gardner’s account of what Pence told him was false. Here’s what Gardner said: “Exercises will continue with South Korea, we look forward to further calm and clarification from the president when he gets here.” […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s been almost four years since U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) was running around Colorado saying that federal personhood legislation, which aimed to ban all abortion, even for rape, and which Gardner co-sponsored as a member of the U.S. House, was “simply a statement that I support life.” Reporters repeatedly objected, […]
Can President Trump pardon himself? That’s the question being asked of many Members of Congress this week. Blair Miller of Denver7 recently posed the query to every member of Colorado’s Congressional delegation and only received a response from one Republican: “I don’t believe the President can pardon himself. It’s an absurd idea,” Coffman said in a statement […]
USA TODAY’s David Jackson reports via affiliate 9NEWS and it’s so damn exciting: After a rare meeting with a high-ranking North Korean official, President Trump said Friday he has rescheduled a June 12 summit in Singapore with Kim Jong Un as part of a long-term effort to try and end the latter’s nuclear weapons programs. […]
After President Donald Trump announced last week that a high-profile summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was cancelled, Republicans who cheered the initial announcement of the summit–despite their condemnation of President Barack Obama for even considering the same thing–dutifully walked back their accolades in order to support their President’s erratic negotiation style. CBS4 […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: The battle to save net neutrality now moves to the House, where all eyes are on Rep. Mike Coffman to see if lip service will translate to votes at the critical moment they’re needed: Evan Greer, deputy director at Fight for the Future, a nonprofit that has advocated for an open internet since […]
A story from Sunday’s Aspen Times caught our eye as illustrative of the way Sen. Cory Gardner does business–as interpreted by local officials on the Western Slope discussing a possible new reservoir on the White River east of Rangely: Three variations of a potential dam that could someday sit astride the main stem of the […]
(Right but that was OBAMA – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE #2 May 25: Now that the summit has been canceled, Gardner is still saying his North Korea policy forced the Kim Jong Un to agree to the summit. Gardner on KOA 850-AM: “It’s that pressure that we brought to bear that actually made this summit […]
CNN reports that President Donald Trump is wading into tomorrow’s GOP primary election for the U.S. Senate in West Virginia, hoping to provide some–keep a straight face–moral guidance to voters, or at least practical advise about not nominating a candidate who can’t win the general election: President Donald Trump on Monday urged voters in West […]
A column in the Phil Anschutz-owned Washington Examiner asks surprisingly hard questions about the role of Sen. Cory Gardner’s National Republican Senatorial Committee–or, as will be apparent from Gardner’s own statements, the lack of a role–in ensuring that Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate meet minimal standards for electability, decency, and other fundamental criteria. You […]
(Scroll down to see why his nickname is “Boob Grabber” — Promoted by Colorado Pols) WARNING: Some images in this post may be considered slightly NSFW, because that’s the low standard of professionalism that *some people* who work in our state’s Capitol adhere to these days, apparently. Multiple social media posts from state Sen. Randy […]
Denver7 reporting on the demise of a bill that many Republicans in the Colorado General Assembly wanted to die–even if they’d rather not admit it, or for that matter talk about it at all: The sponsor of a bill that aimed to punish Colorado teachers that went on strike pulled the bill ahead of a […]
ICYMI: Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Robinson (Mitt Romney’s Nephew) was a guest on “The Get More Smarter Show” last week, where he talked about topics ranging from Colorado’s goofy ballot access process to how he would deal with sexual harassment allegations at the State Capitol. Click here to watch the entire interview, and read on for some […]
As the Denver Post reports, the new recently-exposed additional confirmation of serial sexual harassment by GOP Sen. Randy “Boob Grabber” Baumgardner is moving Senate Democrats to once again attempt a late resolution to expel Baumgardner from the chamber–a move likely to be killed by GOP Senate leadership, which appears to have cast any pretense of […]
Senate President Kevin Grantham and Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert have steadfastly refused to discipline Sen. Randy “Boob Grabber” Baumgardner over multiple claims of sexual harassment that occurred over a period of several years. Grantham and Holbert’s inexplicable protection of Baumgardner is certainly not a new story, but this now-familiar tale may be turning the corner into a […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In an interview this morning, Colorado Senator Cory Gardner again rejected any characterization of “chaos” in the White House administration, despite two more recent top-level personnel changes in adviser and cabinet positions, saying it’s “not a surprise to see employee changes in any administration.” Gardner’s comment, which echoes statements by Trump, came […]
After briefly threatening a veto — and randomly asking Congress to give him line item veto powers (and eliminating the filibuster) — President Trump today signed a massive $1.3 trillion spending deal that includes changes to background checks for gun purchases that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) opposed to the very end. If that sentence seems complicated…well, it […]
Denver7’s Blair Miller follows up on a big story we’ve been trying to get more information on since it broke over a week ago–an appearance on CBS’ Face the Nation by Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, in which Gardner was unexpectedly questioned about a secret hold he allegedly has placed on a bill to strengthen […]
Readers of Colorado Pols are aware that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is the 2018 Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which is a fancy way of saying that it is Gardner’s job to make sure that Republicans don’t lose control of the U.S. Senate this year. This has not gone well for Gardner, so it’s […]
Salon’s Amanda Marcotte posted a story yesterday that follows up on last Sunday’s revealing appearance by Sen. Cory Gardner on CBS’ Face the Nation–in which Gardner was confronted about a secret hold he has placed on legislation from a fellow Republican Senator to improve background checks on gun purchases. Today’s story explains in detail a […]
Yesterday morning on CBS’ Meet the Press, Sen. Cory Gardner was exposed for doing something terrible. Unbeknownst to anyone, several weeks ago Sen. Gardner had placed a secret hold on legislation to strengthen background checks on gun purchases. This is legislation sponsored by a Republican Senator from Texas in the wake of the horrific Sutherland […]
