Democrat John Hickenlooper is out with a new Facebook ad that highlights a Facebook ad from his Republican opponent, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner .

The move seems unusual. But as HuffPost first reported on Friday , Gardners ad which touts his close relationship with President Donald Trump is unusual too.

Were asking patriots nationwide to show that they support the pro-growth, conservative agenda that President Trump and I are fighting for will you join them? Sign your name now to say thanks to President Trump for delivering REAL results on behalf of ALL Americans! reads the text of Gardners Facebook ad , which also has a little video featuring pictures of the senator and Trump side-by-side.
