TOMORROW: Gardner to Hold Secret Fundraiser With Known Racist & Anti-Choice Potential SCOTUS Pick Senator Tom Cotton
State Senator Rhonda Fields: “I believe that he should cancel this fundraiser that he's having. First of all, he's keeping it a secret Why? If you believe and endorse his opinions, say that out front.”
Cotton said “it’s time for Roe v. Wade to go” & has been by Gardner’s side crusading against the ACA
Denver, CO - Fox 31 and 9News report that Senator Cory Gardner is slated to host a private fundraiser with known racist and potential Supreme Court nominee Senator Tom Cotton on Monday. Vice chair of the Black Legislative Caucus State Senator Rhonda Fields is calling on Gardner to cancel the secret event. Earlier this year, Cotton came under fire for penning a New York Times op-ed called “Send in the troops,” supporting the silencing peaceful protestors with the aid of federal troops.
WATCH here:
Cotton recently called slavery a “necessary evil,” words that justify one of the darkest points of American history. Fields slammed Gardner for “keeping it a secret,” saying that “he should cancel this fundraiser that he's having” and “if [Gardner] believe[s] and endorse[s] his opinions, say that out front.”
After being named to President Trump’s short list to fill the U.S Supreme Court vacancy, Cotton said “it’s time for Roe v. Wade to go” — an overwhelmingly unpopular stance in Colorado. Gardner has already dodged several questions about whether he’ll adhere to the standard he set in 2016 and let the President elected in November appoint the next Justice.
