10 Of The Most Partisan Things Congressman Gardner Has Ever Done

Congressman Gardner is known for his radical agenda that would take Colorado backward. That’s why he was rated the 10th most partisan Republican in Congress. But a funny thing happened on his way back from Washington: since deciding to run for Senate, Gardner has repeatedly tried to hide his backward agenda from Colorado voters. While we understand being a bit reluctant to own up to a lifetime of pushing a reckless agenda, voters deserve to see the Real Cory Gardner.

10 Of The Most Partisan Things Congressman Gardner Has Ever Done

1. That time he co-wrote a bill that could punish doctors who care for rape victims...

2. That time he voted to shut down the government …

3. … And then when he voted 16 more times to oppose restoring basic services and re-open the government.

4. That time we found out Gardner wanted to force women to pay for birth control out-of-pocket...

5. That time (8 years, actually) when Congressman Gardner led a crusade for radical Personhood measures that would outlaw abortion and ban common forms of birth control.

6. That time Congressman Gardner promised a Fort Collins newspaper he wouldn’t focus on social issues in Congress …

7. Or how about that time Congressman Gardner said he cared about the “next generation,” but then voted to slash Pell Grants by billions to make it harder for thousands of students in that generation to afford college.

8. At this point, does it come as a surprise that Congressman Gardner rejects the scientific consensus that human activity is the leading cause of climate change?

9. Remember that time Gardner voted to deport DREAMers, immigrant kids who were brought to this country through no fault of their own?

10. Or when, despite saying he supports making sure women receive equal pay for equal work, he blocked efforts to even vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act.

Okay, so it turns out that Gardner has been so partisan for so long that we struggled to cut the list down to just 10. For more details and for more information about Gardner's record visit: RealCoryGardner.com.
