UPDATE:I talked with Rep. Steve King this afternoon. He criticized Gardner and the NoCo Tea Party for canceling him, even though he says they didn’t disagree with what he said. The Gardner campaign begs to differ. And King says he’s coming to Colorado this weekend, anyhow. Story here: http://bit.ly/9PdXJj

Lesley Hollywood, director of the Northern Colorado Tea Party, told me today that she called Rep. Steve King of Iowa this morning to tell him she was cancelling his scheduled appearance at a Saturday event in Loveland.

“I was pretty disappointed when I heard his comments. What he said doesn’t fit in with tea party values, particularly in Northern Colorado.”
