Shitstain Wants 97% Cut To Nat. Parks Funding, Suddenly Tweeted A 180 Tuesday, Cory Gardner All In

[hatrack]

U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner led a press conference in Washington, D.C. Wednesday to formalize his bill to fully restore oil and gas money used on national parks. Colorado Politics reported on his intention Tuesday, after President Trump — who slashed funding in the first place — said he would sign a bill to restore it, if it was passed by Gardner and co-sponsor Steve Daines of Montana, another Republican senator facing a tough re-election bid this year.

EDIT

Democrats have held Republicans, especially Gardner, responsible for the potential loss of funding attributable to Trump. The official announcement came the same day as another Coloradan, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, was on Capitol Hill defending the administration's proposed $2 billion in proposed cuts for the agency, where he was "visibly shaking and combative" in a discussion of migratory birds, Bloomberg News reported.

The Colorado Democratic Party accused Gardner of trying to "greenwash" his environmental record. “Cory Gardner and Donald Trump can greenwash all they want — but the facts show that Gardner and Trump have consistently sold out our public lands to appease their special interest donors," Colorado Democratic Party spokesperson David Pourshoustari said in a statement Wednesday.

Democrats accused Gardner of other conservation missteps, if their view. "Coloradans want a senator who will actually stand up for our environment -- not one who just uses our public lands for an election year talking point,” Pourshoustari said.

2. Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the country's great treasures.

I hope John Denver's ghost comes down and pisses in Gardner's face.

3. Mesa Verde NP is also a national treasure

And my part of Colorado is heavily dependent on the tourist dollars it helps bring in. Gardner is an ass. Colorado voters will replace him with a Democrat come November. Can’t happen soon enough.
