In teaser for Sunday show, Stokols presses Gardner for explanation of personhood hypocrisy

Cory Gardner.
Cory Gardner.

Fox 31 Denver is teasing interview with Cory Gardner to be broadcast 9 a.m. Sunday on reporter Eli Stokols' "#COPolitics from the Source."

Judging from the short exchange between Gardner and Stokols broadcast by Fox 31 last night, it appears Stokols pressed Gardner for a factual explanation from Gardner about why he withdrew his endorsement from personhood amendments at the state level but continues to support federal personhood legislation, which would abortion, even in the case of rape and incest.

Stokols: You don't support the personhood amendment at the state level anymore. Why keep your name on that Life At Conception Act at the federal level?

Gardner: There is no such thing as the federal personhood bill.

Stokols: Cory, the people who wrote that bill, Congressmen Duncan Hunter of California, Paul Brown of Georgia, they say–Personhood USA says–that that is what the Life at Conception Act is.

Gardner: When I announced for the Senate, that's when this outcry started from the Senate campaign of Senator Udall. That's what they are tyring to do. This is all politics. It's unfortunate that they can't focus on–

Stokols: But the facts are —

Gardner: No, the facts are, Eli, that there is no federal personhood bill. There is no federal personhood bill.

I'm looking forward to seeing the entire interview, which will air on Fox 31 Sunday morning at 9 a.m.

  1. Yeh, I saw the teaser as well- It is astounding but consistent with previous press interviews by Cory G, weasel away from any meaningful answer to facts, resorting to R talking points. He is embarassing to watch.

     Further I have yet to hear or see a local TV outlet identify the Jeffco school board actors"s  party affilition other mumble "consera" Thx for nothing news bunnies.

    1.  Yesterday, pre retirement lunch for 1/3 of Colorado’s congressional (representing Corncob county, & what will be Andy’s new district) members held in Brighton at Pinocchio’s (I’m not making this up, wait, maybe I am LOL) on the menu, the whopper, with a side of little whites. Corporate sponsorship by BOTOX “keeping a straight face when your story isn’t” Afternoon topics: When to stop digging and keeping your fingers crossed. Keynote speaker Bob S. (sweetcorn) who said during mittens run, “I never asked for govt help”. Does that include Army Corp of engineers rebuilding levees along the S. Platte, after the flood of 65? Or the freely avail Land Sat images (circa 1968-69) of farmland?

  2. HOT DAMN!

    Sharpen up those long political knives, Senator Udall, supporting PACs, and all CO Dems — a very large, fat, juicy TURKEY just waddled right smack into the middle of the political carving plate!

    Let's pound this unrepentant, lying sleazeball into the hard ground once and for all over this issue, and crush his political fantasies for good. Open the floodgates — expose this oily used-tractor hustler for who and what he really is.

    1. The voters are worried about ISIS and jobs.

      And..The economy continues its upward climb. I am busier than I want to be..my job market is just fine and improving. Thanks, Senator Udall.

      plus… The mighty ISIL war machine with its devastating air power is now experiencing hell raining down from the skies…Thanks, Mr. President.

      Nobody cares what you think.

  3. Congressman Gardner is either a lying liar or a clueless fool. Either way he is unfit to hold office.

    Not only are these not the droids you are looking for, there are no droids anywhere. Ever.

    I miss Tim Russert. And Bill Monroe.  And every journalist who ever held candidates and elected officials accountable for lies.  We ware weaker as a nation without them and that style of journalism of unrelenting , even belligerent, commitment to accountability.

     

    "If you like your current plan, you can keep it."   President Obama 

    “We found the weapons of mass destruction [in Iraq]. We found biological laboratories.”
    –President George W. Bush, May 29, 2003

    “Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.”
    –Vice President Dick Cheney, August 26, 2002

    “In spite of the wildly speculative and false stories of arms for hostages and alleged ransom payments, we did not, repeat, did not, trade weapons or anything else for hostages. Nor will we.”
    –President Ronald Reagan, November 13, 1986. (And the final nail that caused me to forever regret voting for him, and that he or any similar candidate ever held, hold or will hold office: "A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that’s true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not.")

    Congressman Gardner is either a lying liar or a clueless fool. Either way he is unfit to hold office.

      1. Funny how you never see personhood supporters demonstrating outside fertility clinics or hear them condemning couples pursuing in vitro fertilization. They call abortion a holocaust but say nothing about the "holocaust" of all those unused zygote/persons that get summarily trashed. At most, once in blue moon, you might here one of them suggest that it would be nice for the unused zygotes to be adopted but that rarely is mentioned and they don't seem at all exercised about it. 

        So what's up with the lack of outrage over fertility clinics equal to that over abortion and methods of birth control they deem abortifacient? Besides hypocrisy. 

         

        1. The hospital is on fire.  The pediatric ward has only two children in it, and you can escape the inferno with one under each arm.  Alternately, on your way out, you could duck in to the fertility lab and tuck a thermos filled with liquid nitrogen and hundreds of frozen embryos under each arm. What would you choose?  

          The fetophiles are either liars or heartless, possibly both.

          1. And that, in a nutshell is why not even they, in their heart of hearts, truly believe a zygote is a person equal to those post-birth canal babies. They are anti-abortion. Period. Nothing to do with being pro-anything or truly believing a fertilized egg is a full fledged human being on a par with any other human being.
