Gardner is Trump’s rubber stamp

-

Cor y Gardner may attempt to campaign as a moderate independen­t Republican. However his voting record in lockstep to confirm Trump’s cabinet members and judges places him clearly in Trump’s corner.

Gardner voted for: Interior Secretar y Zinke, who resigned under pressure amidst six federal investigat­ions, expensive travel and policy violations.

EPA Secretary Pruitt, who prior to nomination sued the EPA 14 times, rejects climate change, resigned under pressure with 15 federal investigat­ions of his conduct from criminal record destructio­n to corrupt allocation of funds.

Homeland Security Secretar y Nielson, who implemente­d policy of separating over 2,654 children from their parents at the U.s.-mexico border, and resigned under pressure.

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, a banker worth $385 million, who requested militar y aircraft for several personal trips costing taxpayers $811,000, and who designed the tax bill giving huge tax cuts to the wealthiest and corporatio­ns.

HHS Secretar y Price, who is worth $10 million, reported spending over $1 million of taxpayer funds for private jets and militar y aircraft.

EPA Secretar y Wheeler, a former coal industry lobbyist who worked to undermine regulation­s protecting clean air and water.

Gardner voted to confirm the entire wealthy corrupt cabinet, proving himself to be a devoted foot soldier for the Trump agenda. Like Trump said in Colorado Springs: “He’s been with us 100%.”
