Coloradans Won’t Be Fooled

By endorsing Colorado Senate candidate Cory Gardner, The Denver Post threw its weight behind a man whose views and actions are in stark contrast with the paper’s previous editorial stances.

MoveOn.org Political Action teamed up with NARAL Pro-Choice America to run a full-page ad in Sunday’s Denver Post because Colorado voters deserve to know Cory Gardner’s true record, from voting to shut down the government to supporting a bill that would ban abortions to trying to block a law that would cut carbon pollution.

The Post’s endorsement has drawn criticism from national media for being misguided and prompted one former senator to call it the “worst political endorsement by a serious newspaper.”
