A Cory Gardner event last night in Boulder, CO got pretty ugly when a group of his supporters surrounded a group of immigrant youth.
Tweets and video from the event show the angry the crowd of Republicans screaming at a group of DREAMers protesting Gardner’s vote to end DACA.
Elise Foley of the Huffington Post reported one Gardner supporter saying America “should put undocumented immigrants in gas chambers.”
Update: Here’s video of the exchange. A big thanks to Angel Sanchez for passing this along.

And here are the tweets from last night:
A Gardner supporter who wouldn’t tell me his name said we should put undocumented immigrants in gas chambers like Mexico does.

Some stuff said by Gardner supporters about immigration protesters: “did you ask to see their passports?” “Isn’t that sad?”
