A Republican senator used Donald Trump’s weapon of choice — a Twitter volley — to fire back at the claim that the Colorado convention was rigged.

After the Republican presidential front-runner’s defeat in Saturday’s Colorado presidential caucus, he took to Twitter with a series of tweets along this line:

How is it possible that the people of the great State of Colorado never got to vote in the Republican Primary? Great anger – totally unfair!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 11, 2016

On Monday night, Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner decided to respond, and didn’t hold back: 

If you cannot navigate the @cologop convention what is your plan for Putin? #copolitics

— Cory Gardner (@CoryGardner) April 12, 2016

How can you protect Israel at the UN when you’re completely baffled by the @cologop convention process? -CG #copolitics

— Cory Gardner (@CoryGardner) April 12, 2016

How on earth are you going to defeat ISIS if you can’t figure out the @cologop convention? -CG #copolitics

— Cory Gardner (@CoryGardner) April 12, 2016

Spoke to dozens of Trump supporters this weekend, listened to his surrogate speak twice, not 1 person complained abt process until he lost.

— Cory Gardner (@CoryGardner) April 12, 2016

.@tedcruz showed up to the @cologop convention. @realDonaldTrump only sent a surrogate. Cruz swept. Elections are won by those who show up.

— Cory Gardner (@CoryGardner) April 12, 2016

To be certain, Gardner took a beating for going after Trump:

@CoryGardner @tedcruz @cologop @realDonaldTrump UR an idiot HACK SENATOR GOPe here FOLKS-. LYING LOSERS LIKE U WILL B VOTED OUT

— Rebecca Diserio (@rebeccadiserio) April 12, 2016

@sarahsside @CoryGardner @tedcruz @cologop It is not Cruz, no one wants him, it is about keeping control by keeping Trump out.

— ASB (@HaleyTessIsis) April 12, 2016

But the senator raged on:

Darryl Glenn came out of nowhere to win @cologop convention for US Senate. That should be the story. Not @realDonaldTrump‘s temper tantrum.

— Cory Gardner (@CoryGardner) April 12, 2016

I’ve attended CO GOP conventions for years. It requires organization & attn to grassroots to win. Cruz had it. Trump didn’t. End of story.

— Cory Gardner (@CoryGardner) April 12, 2016

It wasn’t quite the “end of the story,” as folks had plenty to say:

@CoryGardner Got it. We'll put you down as supporting the rigged system that protects the powerful and takes power from the people.

— Vox Populi (@mr) April 12, 2016

@CoryGardner It also serves to show just how rigged and undemocratic the delegate process is. And I'm certainly no Trump supporter.

— Ron Rhodes (@RonanRhodes) April 12, 2016

@CoryGardner You are a cuck, Cory. You are selling out this country to the illegals. We need to vote for Trump

— GWSSDelta (@GWSSDelta) April 12, 2016

@CoryGardner WHY was the primary canceled?! Because this whole process is corrupt thats why!

— TRUMP IT OR LUMP IT (@likeitor_lumpit) April 12, 2016

@CoryGardner NOT end of story. The pple did not VOTE. Delegates just handed to Cruz! Insane! U would freak out if they had been HANDED2Trump

— TRUMP IT OR LUMP IT (@likeitor_lumpit) April 12, 2016

There has been plenty of “freak out” to go around.
