Listen to Sen. Cory Gardner’s Unbelievable Climate Conspiracy Theory – Mother Jones

Facing an uphill battle for reelection in a state where two-thirds of registered voters polled last month said they favored a Senate candidate who promised “aggressive action” on climate change, Colorado Sen.

If you're Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, apparently not. He was the keynote speaker at the Cuyahoga County Lincoln Day dinner this weekend, and apparently blew the crowd away with utter bullshit.
