Cory's "Liberal Heckler Antifa Asshole"-Free Tea Party "Town Hall"

Jimi Mack, President of the North Jeffco Tea Party, alerts us to an event last Saturday featuring one of the most infamously elusive politicians in Colorado political history–Sen. Cory Gardner, whose lack of public availability going into his uphill re-election campaign has been the subject of much unfavorable news coverage.

The good news, says North Jeffco Tea Party president Jimi Mack, is that if your Tea Party group promises to keep the “liberal hecklers and Antifa assholes” at bay, suddenly Sen. Gardner becomes much more available than he’s been in the over two years since Gardner’s last public town hall meeting!

[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”50%”]“We promised his staff that we’d keep the liberal hecklers and the Antifa assholes out, and we delivered.”[/mantra-pullquote]

Earlier this month, Gardner got into a public spat with FOX 31 reporter Joe St. George, after Gardner disputed St. George’s contention that Gardner hadn’t held a public town hall in over two years. Gardner cited a “town hall” in Fort Morgan he had allegedly held last summer, then proceeded to taunt St. George over the fictional implication that Fort Morgan doesn’t matter–which St. George of course never suggested. In truth, Gardner’s “Fort Morgan town hall” was a speech he gave to the Morgan County Republican Central Committee, which not even in the most charitable stretch can be accurately called a public event.

Neither does a ‘heckler and asshole’-free zone enforced by the North Jeffco Tea Party.

Keep this in mind next time Gardner bullies a reporter about his so-called “town halls.”
