Bwa ha ha

Gianforte has been charged with misdemeanor assault. Two papers retract their endorsement.

Montanan Republican ,enough said .

Being a dumbass doesn't restrict itself to party affiliation, so your comment doesn't really apply. Why don't you use "typical republican" when the situation dictates?

I'm not saying he was justified in any way, the idiot let his emotions get the better of him, and he should be punished in the same way an citizen would be.

 

[adrina]

Let's see if he still gets elected.

good one!



I think that Trump has successfully married US politics with his professional wrestling.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Yeah, don't be so judgy, like when right wingers lump all "liberals" together.

Depends on Republican early voting.

Amended it .

Also, another instance of male violence.

We need to ban all men from entering this country until we figure out "what the hell is going on."

Prior to readmittance there will be mandatory courses in rape awareness, anger management, the Ten Commandments and the Bill of Rights. Starting with Trump.

He's gotta get that walk down first.

Is this a ploy to free Melania from Donald--letting her back in the country, but not him?

Politician? I have no doubt had it been reversed the reporter would be in jail.

 

[lovecraft68]

Wow, a republican who can get physical...that's like a trick monkey! Rightguide, Forest and the other repugs are going to be jacking off to this guy for a long time to come(pun intended)

 

[Carnal_Flower]

It's a well known fact that Melania is a part of the resistance, and feeding leaks to the Deep State.

Well the polls are closed. Now it's a matter of counting.

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, a Democrat, posted a statement to Facebook, accusing Gianforte of lying:

"It is unsettling on many levels that Greg Gianforte physically assaulted a journalist and then lied, refusing to take responsibility for his actions. Yesterday’s events serve as another wake up call to all Montanans and Americans that we must restore civility in politics and governing, and demand more from people who hold the public’s trust. One thing is clear: no matter what happens today, the actions of Gianforte do not reflect the values of Montana or its people."

In an interview with CNN on Thursday morning, Jacobs mocked the Gianforte campaign statement.

"They got my name right, they got my employer right, but other than that there was not a single factually correct element there. That was totally false," he said.

"It was an open room in the campaign headquarters. It was not marked off in any way," Jacobs said. "I went over to ask the congressman a question. He was making small talk with other reporters.

"As the audio makes very clear, I politely asked the congressman a question about the health care bill," he said.

"It was a very strange moment that he suddenly grabs my recorder and then things go haywire from there," Jacobs said.

He was elected. https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-cand...nor-assault-reporter-062735985--election.html

 

[sharingfantasies]

Not a surprise.

 

[adrina]

Party over country wins again. Yay team.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Gianforte is the same guy who said there's nothing in the Bible about retirement, and that, for example, "Noah" worked until he was 600 years old.

So whoever said you should spend your old age "kicking back" and "collecting social security checks."

 

[Chris_Michael]

The politician obviously felt that the reporter was being an offensive bigot and decided it was appropriate to use violence to stop hate speech.

You liberals are getting exactly what you want. What's the problem?

 

[DooleyDarter]

this should happen to more out of control reporters
