Proof positive there are a lot of idiots voting if a guy being charged with assault is elected. Every witness contradicts the guy's claims about what happened including some Fox reporters.
Not his claims but his press guy's claims.
Bet there's way more to the story than is being shown.
He fits right in with the deplorable s of the RepubliCON party. What a sad state Montana has become, electing a guy who supposedly represents the people and yet can't face the media.
Being a representative means you work for the people and part of your job is to answer questions by the media without going off and assaulting the reporter. So much for freedom of the press and rule of law.
Welcome to Trump Америка.
From wikipedia:
Gianforte has outlined his position on retirement by using the Biblical example of Noah. He said:
"There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today. Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach... The example I think of is Noah. How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn't like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn't hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical."
Good, as many will read and understand the freeloaders arent going to be freeloading anymore.
But , then again, liberals are atheists and dont believe the Bible or its story's.. But they damn well know when the gravy train is stopping.
Actually- this was a good result for Dems. Trump carried the state by 20, this guy won by 8 against a folk singer. If the you see 10 point D shifts across the country that is a tidal wave. Truthfully a 5 point D swing would yield huge wins. If you are an R you do not want to be stuck defending seats in Montana. It would be like Ds having to pour money into a Chicago house race.
And Rs are stuck with a dunce. Sometimes winning saddles you with a politician who hurts you more than helps. The D in Louisiana who got caught with 200k in his freezer then won re election in a D wave year comes to mind.
Ya gotta love the logic here. "well we had a whole pile of poop dropped on us but since it doesn't stink as bad as it should we're WINNERS!"

Welcome to Trump Америка.
Given nobody knows the whole story of what happened and only know the end result aren't you jumping to conclusions in your haste to pronounce your hatred for anything not progressive?
Maybe,possibly some people take offense to having something shoved in their face? Maybe, just maybe reporters should get some manners instead of just wanting a sound bite at all costs?
Maybe the whole story will come out, let's hope so...
This was a good test of whether or not Trump is hurting down ballot GOP. Just like the Georgia house race. 2018 is not looking good for the Democrats. Donations are down, their highest profile leader is now Maxine Waters. If you are a republican you want her in the spotlight for the next two years.
And the New York and New Hampshire races were basically in Trump's backyard. Certainly he got a bump from being from that region that would not carry to other candidates.
