GOP Sen. Cory Gardner catches lefty hate after revealing this disturbing detail about his pro-Kavanaugh vote

As Twitchy told you, former AG — and possible future Democratic presidential candidate — Eric Holder unveiled his preferred motto for today’s Democratic Party: “When they go low, we kick them.”

GOP Sen. Cory Gardner has some thoughts on that:

Just before I voted to confirm Justice Kavanaugh, my wife received a text message of a graphic beheading. We now have public officials saying you should be uncivil to each other – a call for incivility.

You have other party leaders saying Michelle Obama was wrong when she said "when they go low we go high." But rather when they go low "we kick them." This is not who we are.

We have our political disagreements and we should cherish the rights to express our disagreements. But when it comes to calls for violence and attempted murder and assassinations this country has gone too far and it’s time we step back from that brink.

My colleague @SenBennetCO and I were sent here to work together. We have our disagreements but we have always fought for the best for our state and I hope that every colleague of mine in Congress will do the same.

And right on cue, as it to prove Gardner’s point, lefties are letting their thug flags fly.

What's being claimed here is that we should be civil when our environment is being pummeled, our public lands are being sold off, our waters are being polluted, our unions are being depleted and our privacy is being sold to the highest bidder. Civility is a two way street.

Dude. Your party is the one with literal Nazis. You foster this climate when you refuse to acknowledge this fact that's right in front of everyone and when you refuse to issue these statements towards your own people. https://t.co/ClZWSt8I5L

Says a GOP Senator whose boss is rude, mean spirited, ugly everyday. I think you protest to the wrong people @SenCoryGardner. You should be a man and call out your leader if you truly believe what you said and didn’t say it just for political reasons.

Yeah you're fortunate because your party was never civil to begin with so you don't have to signal for it. #EndTheGOP

Christine Blasey Ford is unable to return to her home because Republicans are still threatening her and her family.

And Republican leadership categorically denounced the threats against Dr. Ford. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder are actively inciting violence against Republicans. But that’s OK or something.

Have you ever listened to a speech by your leader, @realDonaldTrump? Uncivil behavior bleeds down from the top. He is the source of the problem

sorry. you're supporting the person who made things this way. you don't get to pretend this just started or that it was the Dems who threw the first stone. your hypocrisy is murdering our nation. so shut your hole while we fix it.

Apparently the fact that Cory Gardner bears the same (R) after his name that Donald Trump has is justification enough for the harassment and threats he’s faced from the Left.
