In the State of Montana, Greg Gianforte is possibly beating himself up today after a very bad judgment call in roughing up a Guardian reporter at an event where the candidate was setting up for an interview with Fox News. However, some voters appear to have appreciated the incident and one source even claim that Gianforte’s campaign funds saw a boost after the alleged ‘body slam’.
The incident took place at an event that was referred to as a volunteers barbeque and capped off a very rigorous campaign where Gianforte is running against Democrat Rob Quist. The seat for the U.S. Representative became vacant when Ryan Zinke was tapped by President Trump to fill the Secretary of the Interior position.
The Guardian, the Missoulian, and other Left-leaning newspapers have been going after Gianforte in a seemingly endless stream of negative stories since the special race had been initiated for the vacant seat. The race has been interesting, to say the least, where both candidates have been taken to task for their so-called “gaffes” on an array of subjects and issues.
Quisp, an ardent Sanders supporter, constantly rails on corporate America (you know, those guys that are actually employing people who “didn’t build their business”) and has stated that we don’t need another millionaire in Congress. While I agree with that last statement, I don’t think someone who believes that wealth needs to be re-distributed by a governmental body more well-known to pay $600 for a toilet seat should be in that seat either.
For his part, Gianforte is also an outspoken critic of the mainstream media and that is something we can all get on board for; unfortunately, there are ways to deal with unsavory reporters that don’t result in assault charges and national stories on MSNBC that involve the words “body slam.” I’m not sure exactly what happened, and really, neither does the media because there is only audio that captured the tousle, but it was witnessed by the entire Fox News team that was assembled for its interview with Gianforte.
Typically, in cases like this, it’s a pretty cut-and-dried case because there is normally video from someone’s phone that records the action. In this case, the altercation happened so quickly that no one had the chance to record it. From the audio on the next page, you can hear for yourself how quickly the situation turned from seemingly innocent to crazy.
A lot of you don’t remember this, but there used to be this thing called “journalism”. It was an art and science involving investigation, chasing leads, searching for information, verifying sources, and stringing everything together to find the truth. No real journalist would lie, fabricate, or knowingly publish false information. They had something else many of you may not know about called “journalistic integrity”.
These REAL journalists were occasionally assaulted (like busted heads), imprisoned in foreign countries, and even killed.
What happened to this left-wing propaganda pusher was nothing.
I think Ginforte should have a good case of assault against that reporter.
Pressing I believe is the word this “reporter ” used. What he was really doing was asking the same question over and over thinking he would keep asking until he got the answer he wanted. By the third time he asked I think I would have given him more than a body slam. If you can’t stand the hest, keep out of the kitchen. Keep dogging the wrong person and you just might get your lights put out.
Good job, might teach pushy reporters a lesson.!!! should have kicked his a– out instead of yelling.!!!
Now we know it was f**e
Hope he gets elected. That$#%&!@*libtard maggot had it coming. So, he got it. End of file.
NO! He does not owe anyone an apology. If yhat reporter had of not pushed his way into where He was told to get out. That reporter like almost all other left wing assholes that harrass conservatives. They don’t do this c**p to democrates. Conservatives are putting up with this c**p ALL the time. We are sick of it. There is a different standard on how they treat democrates and how they treat conservatives and we are SICK OF IT! This guy shouldn’t have his family harrassed just like every other conservative. We owe them no courtesy AT ALL!.
“Keep taunting people and you get what’s coming”
Americans do love a strong man.
I was just in Butte, go Ginforte! This is Montana it’s red like the copper it mined and the blood spilt on its soil. Stand up to liberalism and all it stands for including bs media
