There is audio and this is directly from Fox News, unless you want to accuse them of being "fake".


"Well Fox News is becoming increasingly liberal by the day. And the reporter was obviously a plant by the Democrats."

It was almost as if he didn't expect to get assaulted by a Congressional candidate.

Weird.
Nor should he have. I wasn't trying to defend the candidate at all. Reporters suffer way too much abuse nowadays.

Shep runs the news desk. Shep's ace reporter, Trace Gallegher, is on the West Coast.

This is like how Corey Lewandowski ripped that reporter's arm off then beat her over the head with it. This guy probably nudged him out of the way and the reporter screamed and overreacted like all libs do.


I agree but he shouldn't have fled the scene - he should have denied

Liberals are proven liars, a majority of the time.

They lie about everything.

You can't trust them without video evidence.

And even THEN they'll still lie.

Leftists/liberals have zero integrity.

Refreshing to see toddy stick around to defend himself. Why don' you always do this? Why is this thread different? Assault is assault.

walked into the room with a voice recorder, put it up to Gianforte's face and began asking if he had a response to the newly released Congressional Budget Office report on the American Health Care Act. Gianforte told him he would get to him later. Jacobs persisted with his question. Gianforte told him to talk to his press guy, Shane Scanlon.


I would still vote for him if I was going to before, asking a question respectfully is not what happened here and a man is free to deal with another however he wishes once they enter a 3 ft zone in an aggressive manner IMHO.

This is very likely much like the Lewandowski assault. That was the damndest thing, idiots looking right at nothing and screaming like he purposely beat that skank down.

If The Big Show choke slams you you do not yell "you just threw me down."

Just listened to the audio. Everything Gianforte said didn't happen. He's a liar.

Based only on what I have read in this thread so far, I agree wholeheartedly with this.

These antagonistic reporters who think they can control the moment with whatever bullshite agenda they are trying to promote shoving a recorder in someone's face and ignoring the referral to the press guy is just looking for a physical takedown.

Reporters are not the only ones with 'rights' just because they decide they are greater that everyone else in the room.

I could never be a politician because I don't respond well to rude pieces of shite with overblown egos.

Another chance for Toddy to get his big gay hopes up
I always think of Toddy as a woman.

Really though, after the left went fricking nuts over the Michelle Fields "assault" how could they expect anyone believe this? They do know that the boy who cried wolf wasn't actually a lesson about wolves, right?

Gianforte has been charged with assault.

quote:

The Gallatin county sheriff’s office said on Wednesday night it had completed its investigation and that Gianforte had been issued with a charge of misdemeanour assault.


quote:

Greg Gianforte received a citation on Wednesday night and is scheduled to appear in Gallatin county justice court between now and June 7, 2017.

The fact that any of you are standing up for this thug is simply remarkable. This is what happens when you turn the free press into the enemy.
