DENVER -- During a press gaggle during at an event in downtown Denver on Thursday, Sen. Cory Gardner refused to say whether it is appropriate for a president to ask a foreign leader to investigate a political rival.
Gardner was repeatedly asked the same question by journalists based in the Denver area.
"You've called it a partisan circus but I haven't heard you answer this question: Do you believe it's appropriate for the president of the United States to ask a foreign leader to investigate a political rival -- yes or no?" Gardner was asked.
"This is what we are going to get into," Gardner said. "The Senate intelligence committee is having an investigation -- a bipartisan investigation. Unfortunately, what we have seen is a very political process take over.
"If you look at Al Green in Texas, a member of Congress has said, 'We need to impeach President (Donald) Trump now because we might not win in November.' That's about politics. That's not what a serious investigation should be about."
"But is it appropriate?" Gardner was asked.
"I have answered your question," Gardner said.
Another reporter jumped in and asked the same question.
"Well, here is what you see in the House of Representatives. You see a very partisan process take place," Gardner said. "Why is it when you all do stories, when we see reports in the news, it's about four states: Colorado, Arizona, Maine and North Carolina.
"It seems to be about politics and the election other than the serious process that it is."
On Thursday afternoon, President Donald Trump liked a retweet of a video of the exchange that was originally tweeted by FOX31 political reporter Joe St. George.
Say hello to Senator Chickenpooper.
Watch: Gardner refuses to say whether it’s appropriate for president to ask foreign leader to investigate rival
Video at link.
“Say hello to Senator Chickenpooper. “
You’re right. Garndner acts like it’s GOP business as usual.
Gardener is a pretend Republican.
A RINO without the b*lls to even act like a proper backstabber like RINOmney.
The Colorado Repubican Party is a worthless bag of idiots.
Hickenlooper, the failed Democrat with even less brains than AOC will defeat him and become another red senator.
My last post is a treaty about criminal ivestigations between the US and Ukraine
Answer by flipping the question: Should a person whom reasonable inference indicates comitted a crime escape prosecution because he happens to be running for office?
Trump asked for assistance investigating corruption, not an individual.
He mentioned Biden in passing while talking about corruption.
If Biden is corrupt and gets caught up in the investigation of corruption, that’s his problem.
There. Fixed it.
Well done. Thanks
Can we do better in Colorado? The problem is some of you think it’s kentucky. It’s a very liberal state. I’d rather not lose the seat even if we have to have a RINO like him who has voted for every trump judge. Hoopercreep won’t vote for one.
Yeah, what do you expect from a group led by a guy named Dickwad Hams.
People want STRONG, HONEST LEADERS NOT WUSSES like YOU!
It was already knowledge and admitted by Biden himself and the fact that Clinton signed a cooperation with Ukraine to be able to assist in investigations. Ok media ask it the right way and not loaded with stuffed potato’s.
Gardner is a master at not answering a question while saying he answered it.
Say hello to Senator Chickenpooper.
And this is by far the strongest statement I’ve ever seen from Gardner. lol.
I hope we can.
Illegals, and librats in Denver and Boulder keep our state purple.
Now we’re stuck with illegal gun control laws and governor polesmoker.

Proud of that, are ya George? Both the written and television "journalists" around here are as about small time market hacky as you can find.
Do you believe it’s appropriate for the president of the United States to ask a foreign leader to investigate a political rival — yes or no?”
Do you believe it’s appropriate for the president of the United States to ask a foreign leader to investigate a criminal?
Fixed.
Trump has no political rival.
Gardner is a coward and gov. chickenfluffer won’t break a sweat taking away his senate seat.
It is funny how many news people think they are the news. Chick on channel 4 took a whole segment to announce that she's pregnant.
