Garner replied back, “thank you Donald Trump, 100 ventilators and approval of our National Guard assistance is outstanding news for Colorado.”

Thank you @realDonaldTrump, 100 ventilators and approval of our National Guard assistance is outstanding news for Colorado.

Coloradans are standing together as we get through the #COVID19 pandemic, even if we have to stand six feet apart.

Gardner appeared on a local Fox station yesterday morning saying that the stimulus bill checks should be deposited to people direct deposit in the next couple of weeks. He said they have had “3 deliveries from the national stockpile.” He also said he was able to secure “several million masks from Taiwan.”

One of the interviewing anchors tried to bait him by asking, “did we take too long” with our response? He said that “this is a time where we don’t look back, every moment has to be better than the day before.”
