I’m pretty sure the Constitution guarantees the right to get ready to rumble…

Clip of Chris Hayes interviewing the reporter:


Apparently, Gianforte was allowed to leave with his aides instead of being arrested on the spot. The car apparently has Washington plates, lol.

The R’s are so stressed with only having the House, the Senate, and the Presidency in their hands.

It would make anyone go mad.

Hope this plays on local tv tonight along with the CBO report on the cAHCA. Then we will find out what Montanans value and are made of in the election tomorrow.

Edit to add: talk about if you can’t stand the heat…, this guy ain’t ready for prime time.

He created and sold a couple of software companies and he and his wife are "philanthropists and support christian and conservative groups so he’s used to getting his way and thinks his s#!t don’t stink (see wikipedia for greg gianforte). surPRISE, surPRISE (said in best Barney Fife imitation).

Any bets this will help Gianforte with the anti-American GOP base?

The violent GOPer will probably get elected the way things are going these days.
Too bad there’s no video to go with the audio cuz then the reporter would have an air tight case of assault and battery.

They’re not even trying to hide the malignant thuggery anymore. I’m really hoping T***p’s comment about shooting someone on Fifth Avenue doesn’t play out.

“I’m sick of you people”? Sick of reporters asking questions? This is what it’s come to. Montana flush this turd.

Well, it proves he can grab someone and slam them to the ground, much like the WWE people do.

I’m sorry to say that I thought the same thing. American society is really in bad shape.

Oh, yeah, he’s definitely a hound. Our other dog is also a Beagle.

I’m loving the canine avatars!

As long as the other guy doesn’t know a fight is coming.
