yes, that's such an accurate statement in a thread about how a GOP candidate body slammed a reporter. He's the thug, not liberals. Ignoring reality doesn't change reality.

Agree!

Gianforte should never have allowed American and British media at his campaign offices. He should have only invited Russian media after they promise not to ask any tough questions.

Have no words to describe people that have justified and supported his violent assault on reporter Ben Jacobs in a few other threads.

If any of us did what he did, we would have been put in handcuffs. Hopefully, his political career ends tonight.

Stop lying about the Holy Bible because the Bible is what warns of this mess that this country is in.

He'd be praised if he was a democrat.

No, he wouldn't. While people of all persuasions, all colors, all religions, all backgrounds, commit egregious crimes everyday, the fact is that we don't endorse those crimes. We don't endorse bad behavior.

While sometimes we can understand why someone did what they did. We can understand why a woman who's been abused did something horrible to her abusive husband, we can understand why an unemployed man stole food to feed his family, we can understand why people sometimes break the law, that doesn't mean that their bad behavior is endorsed.

Some people on this thread are praising the candidate, because they understand why a candidate might want to lash out at the press. But understanding does not and should not be an endorsement of bad behavior.

In this case, the reporter was assaulted. Violently assaulted. Because he asked a reasonable and pertinent question. That is not behavior that should be applauded.

Clearly, you haven't been paying attention for the past year or so.

So this reporter should be held accountable for the actions of all the press? Held accountable, and physically assaulted?

What an ass hat. Bully can't handle some questions? He's in the wrong line of work.

It says a lot about the people who support this kind of asinine behavior.
That's one way of looking at it.

Personally, I think the reporter was an ass hat for sniffling away about his broken glasses while sitting in the back of an ambulance. He (the reporter) got in someone's face and got his ass handed to him. He should have fought back and traded punches with the guy. But, no. He wants to record all the witnesses, call the cops, file charges and do all the other snowflake stuff. He's a wimp.

Some politician should try that with Eric Bolling (Fox News; Played professional baseball) and see what happens to them. Or even Geraldo Rivera.

Ambulance. Jeez.

Not paying attention to the hate and lies Trump spewed in his rallies? Yep, you got me on that, I was most definitely not paying attention to that!

That's incorrect he was doing his job asking a question. All of the witnesses corroborate his version even the Fox News crew. In addition the candidate tried to cover his ass by lying.
