US Senator Hickenlooper talks Trump resistance during Grand Junction town hall

The Senator defended his votes for Trump cabinet picks in front of hundreds of Western Slope residents Monday night.

U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper invoked Valley Forge at an event in Grand Junction Monday night while encouraging disaffected voters to stay engaged in politics. But he also invoked collegiality to defend his approach to navigating Trump politics. 

Hickenlooper spoke to a crowd of hundreds at the Asteria Theatre at Colorado Mesa University. And, while the first-term Senator referenced George Washington’s fortitude during the Revolutionary War as grounds to not give up hope, attendees asked him to show more fight in standing up to Trump’s policies.
