Hickenlooper: 'It's time to end this crisis of division'

[TexasTowelie]

In a familiar setting at the end of the workday Friday, Democratic presidential hopeful – and former brewery owner – John Hickenlooper shouted over the Backpocket Brewing crowd in Coralville about unity and collaboration and bipartisanship, and the dire need for them.

“I’m running for president because I think we are in a national crisis of division,” said Hickenlooper, who was swinging through Iowa for the second time in the early days of his presidential bid, which he officially launched early last month from his home state of Colorado – where he served as governor from 2011 to 2019.

“I don’t think we’ve been this divided since probably back to the Civil War,” he said. “What Trump has done – it’s seems like he’s almost trying to bankrupt our families by taking apart our health care system.”

That was just one example Hickenlooper cited in his reckoning of President Trump, going on to slam him for “ripping children away from their mothers and then putting them up or adoption.”

But, there's no way the fascistrump doormats are going to take part in a "crisis of division" discussion.
