They support Ben Jacobs' account of things, not Gianforte's.

Weird how these are ignored by the Trumpers. If it had been a Liberal congressman, attacking a Fox News reporter, you would have been all over it.

Let that be a lesson for delusional far left lunatic political activists posing as journalists.

Don't shove cameras and microphones in people's faces.

I didn't know that. That's awful. I saw a reference to another time when he put his hands together, as though he wanted to strangle another reporter - telling someone that there were more of them, than there were reporters.

They have had phone calls from some who voted with absentee ballots, asking to change their vote, because of this. They aren't allowed to. Just as you said, Juni.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/25/politics/montana-special-election-turnout/index.html

They apparently make up 30% of the vote, so hopefully the rest will vote against him. It's inexcusable.

Just so you know, if a camera or microphone makes contact with you, or if a reasonable person would think a contact would result, that's a battery, and you are allowed to defend yourself from it.

Almost everyone thinks it's inexcusable - that it was an over-reaction (to put it mildly). Are you saying that what he did is okay?

Assault is not a reasonable response. There were witnesses, who would have said so, if it were.

I didn't say it was assault. A battery is an unwelcomed touch or the imminent threat of one. And we have the right to physically resist a battery.

I don't support violence in any form, but lawful defense against a battery is allowed by law. I wasn't there, so...

He won. He was also cited for misdemeanor assault, so the court will decide. It was also alleged that he punched the reporter.

The law isnt the last word on whether he can represent them. Recalls happen.

His victory speech is great! He's still speaking. He did apologize for what he did to the reporter. It seemed sincere to me. He's not moving to the swamp. He's commuting to D.C. and visiting all 50+ counties so Montana's voice will be heard.

With early voting, the results do stand. But he has a potential $5,000 fine if convicted of assaulting the reporter.

The left is now blaming President Trump for this and correlating it generally to the right, while the left has been literally smashing windows and setting fires. Maxine has even publicly supported the stomping attack of a trucker Trump supporter. The left lives in a different universe.

A lot of people who voted by ballot, wanted to change their vote, and couldn't. They don't support that abusive behaviour that you are celebrating.
