Candidate for Montana House seat attacks reporter

[gabosaurus]

Yeah, I get it. Republicans don't like the media. Doesn't mean you can physically attack them. He'll probably win the election, anyway.

Should be allowed to. Maybe they'd stop foaming at the mouth, disregarding peoples Right to privacy and printing so many lies. When consequences come with actions, pussies especially change their behavior so their little eyelashes don't get bent or their makeup messed up.

He was a reporter for the Guardian, fair game!

I thought the Guardian was a Marvel character?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

They're both wrong. The reporter was in the guy's face when he was told to leave but continued anyway. The fellow who beat the crap out of him, well, there's no excuse for that either.

Only thing this accomplished was to give (censored)s like Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer more ammunition to attack the right.

But at the same time, I blame the Left for creating an atmosphere of belligerence and confrontation with their idiotic marches, riots, and "nasty women" comments... and not to mention the mountains of lies, half truths, and innuendo that they seem to be oh so good at doing. Let's not forget the outright lawbreaking that their presidential candidate and the former president is capable of...

I guess, body slamming a guy in a fit of rage doesn't accomplish anything constructive... but much more so do the antics of the Left....

Just sayin.....



The idiot was talking up punching a 16 year old kid.

I wonder, will the intrepid Guardian reporter still shove equipment in people's faces after he's been told not to?

The Guardian had already been denied an interview and this was deliberate provoking.

Sounds to me like he needed his ass kicked.

And it's over.

Just 24 hours after being charged with assault for allegedly body-slamming a reporter in his Bozeman campaign office, Republican Greg Gianforte on Thursday defeated Democratic opponent Rob Quist to win the special election for the U.S. House seat in Montana.

...


Gianforte has been supportive of Trump's travel ban and health care reform, and backed the president's decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey.


Before running for the congressional seat, Gianforte unsuccessfully ran for Governor of Montana in 2016. Before that, he was a technology and software company executive -- his assets range between $96 and $328 million, according to the Associated Press.


Thursday's election leaves Democrats without a win in special elections since November, with Republicans having won contests in Louisiana, Kansas and now Montana. But they'll have more chances next month, as candidates battle for House seats in three special elections in California, Georgia and South Carolina.

One would think if the ever so intelligent Dummycrats wanted to pick a fight, They wouldn't pick it in a state that's one big cattle ranch full of redneck cowboys.

Charlie Sykes, a conservative former talk-show host in Wisconsin, told Karen and Bob: “Every time something like Montana happens, Republicans adjust their standards and put an emphasis on team loyalty. They normalize and accept previously unacceptable behavior.”

So when did it become acceptable behavior to get in someone's space? Never has been in my world and I will tell you only once to get the f*ck out of my face.

The media has WAY too much leeway in invading privacy and harassing people. Here's a clue stay out of peoples' faces and respect their privacy?

But, you need manners for that. Must not teach that in leftwingnut school.

Words do not justify physical force. End of story.

A Dem does this and you guys would lose your minds. I don't know why you find such behavior funny. He apologized and you still champion him. Quite strange. Civility is dead. Bullies reign.

Exactly, he apologized. He was 100% wrong using any force, and will have to face the courts for that. But I simply find it funny, seeing many liberals thinking that guaranteed a win for them, and it didn't. And seeing the outrage from many today.

I made a funny about the Guardian, and then another funny that the (R) won anyway. I never stated his behavior was funny. I never championed him. So stop putting words... you know what I mean.
