By Dan Desai Martin - January 31, 2019
Cory Gardner, who said he 'will not support someone who brags about degrading and assaulting women,' changed his mind. He'll support Trump in 2020.
Back in 2016, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) said he absolutely could not vote for Trump, based on principle. On Wednesday, Gardner cast those claims aside.
In an interview with the Independent Journal Review, Gardner said he would be supporting the president in 2020.
Thats much different than Gardners position just two years ago, when he said he cannot and will not support someone who brags about degrading and assaulting women.
Gardner distanced himself from Trump in 2016, after a video surfaced of Trump bragging about serially assaulting women. In the video, Trump claimed he enjoyed grabbing women by the pussy, and kissing women without their consent because, as a star, he can do anything.

Senator Gardner is letting everyone know why he wont be re-elected in 2020: hes standing with President Trump and against Colorado, DSCC spokesperson David Bergstein said in a statement. We hope hes proud of his endorsement because hes going to spend the next two years explaining it.
Thumbing his nose at his own principles and the will of Coloradans, Cory Gardner is embracing Trump. If GOP insiders were worried about Gardners re-election chances before and they were they must be terrified now.

(17,984 posts)I wrote him once about confirming JBeau, and I got a form letter back describing how wonderful JBeau was. So I'm thinking about writing him again and asking him to reconsider his previous stance.
