Republican senator calls on Trump to "call evil by its name"

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner called on President Donald Trump to "call evil by its name" on Saturday following the violence in Charlottesville.

"Mr. President - we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism," Gardner, the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, tweeted.

First he finally relents and holds a couple of constituent town halls and now, he (finally) decides to call out Trump and his racist fanatics.

Still, I'm glad to see it...

have his fingerprints all over them.

Colorado is NOT in favor of Trump's anti-immigrant activity--nor largely any of this alt-right crap (with a few small pockets of exception). We also strongly embraced Obamacare...

So, Gardner's reelection prospects not good right now.
