The most courageous people in America are the 19 women willing to stand up to Tweety and say #METOO, letting the world know he is a pussy grabber, a woman abuser, and worse.
Few in Congress stand up to Tweety, why is that? Because these cowards would rather enable a sick, demented man run America into the ground to get favors from the President.
‘That’s the model’: Republican Cory Gardner stands up to President Trump"
By Karen Tumulty and Sean Sullivan 5 Jan 2018
"But Gardner — who also heads the campaign operation charged with hanging on to the Republicans’ Senate majority — is becoming known as someone who will do more than posture when he and the Trump administration disagree.
The latest and most striking example came Thursday, when Gardner, 43, announced that he will stand in the way of every nomination the Justice Department sends to the Senate. Late last year, he and Trump were in opposition over the Senate race in Alabama."
More - States Rights! But tainted by self-interest, his re-election. Still, anyone standing up to Tweety and Sessions is a good man.
"His latest move came in protest of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s new policy allowing federal prosecutors to crack down on the marijuana industry — a reversal of Obama administration policies and a blow to states such as Colorado that have legalized cannabis despite federal law against it.
“This reported action directly contradicts what Attorney General Sessions told me prior to his confirmation. With no prior notice to Congress, the Justice Department has trampled on the will of the voters in CO and other states,” Gardner tweeted.
His position is undoubtedly beneficial to his own political situation, given the popularity of legal marijuana in his home state, a battleground where he will be facing reelection in 2020."
NO! to Roy Moore too.
". . . after Trump endorsed Moore, the RNC resumed its financial aid to the candidate — something that Gardner, as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, refused to do.
. . . his Alabama stance put him at odds with both the president and the national party organization, “it didn’t matter to me. There was no amount of pressure that would have changed my decision, because it was the right thing to do,” Gardner said in an interview."
More, this time on White Supremacists . . .
"Gardner was also one of the earliest Republicans to criticize Trump for not singling out white nationalists as the culprits for violence last summer in Charlottesville that led to the death of one counter-protester.
“Mr. President — we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism,” Gardner wrote in a tweet at the time."
Will Gardner defend states rights for the sake of immigrant rights?
"Meanwhile, Gardner is likely to be embroiled in another tense situation with the Republican White House soon.
He and fellow Colorado Sen. Michael F. Bennet, a Democrat, are co-sponsors of the Dream Act, which would grant legal status and a path to citizenship to immigrants who were brought to this country illegally when they were children. One in 5 Coloradans is Hispanic."
