Discussion: Reporter: GOP Congressional Candidate In Montana 'Body Slammed Me'

So, was this a case of Gianforte seeing the writing on the wall about his chances? Or is he just a violent sociopath in general?

I suspect Montanans (ians, ites?) will still elect him and he will be arrested a few weeks later.

Hopefully a preview of the Presidentjal situation.

From the several times I have heard the audio tape it sounds like the GOPer lost his temper for a reason that amounts to next to nothing. I hope the reporter presses charges.
Too bad there’s no video of this which would make an airtight case.

I’m guessing that Gianforte will settle out of court trying to make it go away as quickly as possible.

Guess the internal numbers aren’t looking so good for him. Seems a little testy.

I love his comment about “the last guy” doing the same thing. Damned reporters just keep asking questions…

I suppose body-slamming the librul media elite might increase RW voter turnout for the thug.

Why isn’t this douchebag under arrest? Another example of “GOP is tough on crime” fraud.

Well for one thing this GOPer is wealthy…very wealthy and that generally means good lawyers and …ummmm…wads of cash in the right hands… then stuff goes away. A goodly chunk of his stash is in Russian hedge funds invested in Gazprom and tied to the performance of the Russian economy (can you say ‘conflict of interest’?)

This probably needed to happen last week to give the dem a shot in Montana. But hey, the headline “GOP senator elect to face prosecution for aggravated assault” will be nice to see.

Seriously? You again? Don’t you get tired of the same shtick day after day after day?

Here’s hoping he holds a little pity party for himself in a jail cell tomorrow night…after the voters bodyslam him.

Apparently he’s taken a page out of the Erdogan playbook: these fucking authoritarians are all alike.

Even in Montana the GOP is invested in the Russian state. Is there no end to the corruption?
