I respect your right hold it.




But absolutely no violence ensued from Trump telling that joke. Just some good hearted laughter from the many 1000s there who understand the difference between a joke and real violence such as those leftist mobs violently attacking everyone.
Ah, we're moving the goal posts now. Okay. So its okay, now, because nobody acted on it. I see. And this lighthearted laughter, you had the same reaction to Kathy Griffen holding a prop severed head of Trump. I mean, it was a joke, after all, she is a comedian. Personalky, I didn't find it funny at all, but if we're talking intent, it should be okay.

You are underestimating Montana's voters at best, & likely insulting their intelligence to boot:

Quote:
Gianforte won the May 25 special election over Democrat Rob Quist, by a 50 percent to 44 percent margin. Because of Montana’s early absentee voting, more than 70 percent of the electorate who cast ballots had already voted by the time of the Gianforte assault.
Trump praises Gianforte for 2017 assault on reporter

From the Editor: Assault is still no laughing matter
Quote:
...I don't reject President Trump's off-handed remarks because the victim in the "fight" with Gianforte was a reporter. I reject it because it is an endorsement of assault.

Assault is still no laughing matter.

IF so-called journalist actually ACTED like journalists and NOT super dem partisans, they would NOT need to be protected.

Don't recall a Democrat president attacking the media daily. I guess that's what happens though when the media call you out for being biggest liar in presidential history

Rep. Maxine Waters called on her supporters to publicly confront and harass members of the Trump administration in response to the "zero tolerance" policy that led to the separation of families at the border.

Amazing that people are mad at this, yet support maxine waters....
