[UPDATE: Apparently when I type quickly my fingers mistake Cory Gardner for Cory Booker. Both are US Senators. The resemblance ends about there. My apologies for the confusion.]<\/p>\n

US Senator Cory Gardner (R-Colorado) canceled a private lunch meeting he had scheduled with some folk who had supported him last year. Apparently word got out and a peaceful protest was quickly organized outside Carl's Tavern in Steamboat Springs, where the meeting was to be held.<\/p>\n

Routt Co. Republican Chair Don Mathis said the meeting was called off because "his security staff feels that due to the current threat assessment and current events" it was too dangerous for him to outside his bunker and anywhere near people who hadn't previously donated money to him.<\/p>\n

Mathis seemed to think that was justified, given that the protest (which occurred anyway) wasn't all that peaceful.<\/p>\n

❝ "A lady in her 50s or older, blocked me with her sign," Mathis said. "The protesters were also putting their signs up on the windows of Carl's, tapping on the glass and doing a little dance. It's all kind of like mild terrorism."<\/i> ❞<\/p>\n

Mild Terrorism! Quick, call Department of Homeland Security! Call the FBI! Call the National Guard! Just look at those Antifa thugs in the photo! Micro-aggressions! Micro-aggressions! There's a lady tapping on the window!<\/i><\/p>\n

Yeesh.<\/p>\n
