So... let me get this straight. You have your panties in a wad defending a politician that you can't vote for. You have no idea what positions he holds, but you think the eveeeel MSM is lying about him, because he has an R by his name.

Y'all are fricked up.

Nope.

I know you sore loser lefties want Gianforte to lose the election because he is a Republican and the Dums are claiming his defeat will be proof that the voters of Montana have changed their minds about Trump being POTUS.

Gianforte couldn't first grab Jacob by the throat with BOTH HANDS and also first grab the recorder that Jacobs stuck in his face.


No one said that Gianforte grabbed Jacob with two hands first. Your just doing your usual routine of bringing in additional bullshite facts after you have been proven wrong.

Just another fish story.

Well that last part is certainly not true. I know nothing of the R or D that is running. I do know anyone who bodyslams a journalist should not be in office.

bullshite!

Gianforte’s story was demolished by eyewitness accounts from Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna, field producer Faith Mangan, and photographer Keith Railey. They actually make the incident sound even more violent than what Jacobs initially described. Acuna authored a story on Fox News’ website that details how Gianforte, without any physical provocation, “grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him.”

That proves either you are a liar or I know more than you do.

Which is it?

None of the Fox people said that Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the throat first. You slip that in like the slime-ball, "fish-story" boy you are.

Now that Gianforte has admitted fault and all but admitted that the press release was a lie, what do you have to say for yourself?

But is perfectly fine for someone to sell US influence in foreign affairs thru a criminal foundation to be Sec. of State and run for president.

Meh, Gianforte's "apology" doesn't change the fact Jacobs' statement on Georgey boy's show that Gianforte first grabbed the recorder contradicts the two Fox reporters' original accounts that Gianforte first grabbed Jacobs' neck with BOTH HANDS.

That or the FOX reporters missed the initial grab at the recorder. Pretty reasonable if they weren't staring at Jacob and Gianforte before Gianforte snapped.

Jacobs also says "I never touched or came close to Gianforte." Do you find that credible? Do you find it remotely credible? Or would you write it off, as do I, as an obvious bald-faced lie?

Meh, Acuna's original account explicitly states that after Jacobs asked his question Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with BOTH HANDS.

Since Acuna said that without any physical provocation, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with BOTH HANDS that means she saw what happened before Gianforte supposedly grabbed Jacobs by the neck with BOTH HANDS.

Her account is contradicted by Jacobs' account which is that Gianforte first grabbed the recorder.

Why didn't Acuna see Gianforte first grab the recorder since she claims she saw no physical provocation by Jacobs before Gianforte did anything?

Yes. If you want to believe that Jacob reached out and punched him in the face with the recorder even though there is no evidence go ahead.

No, but his credibility is now even shittier than before, and everyone with any remaining credibility claim that Gianforte

1) Was the aggressor
2) Assaulted Jacobs; and
3) That Jacobs did nothing hostile or aggressive

Let's go down this road. Let's say she missed the first fraction of a second in the altercation. Guess what, her account matches up perfectly with Jacob's and completely contradicts Greg's. Greg will be forced to fess up soon enough.

Yes.
How does a reporter with a hand held recorder get a recording without coming close to the person he's trying to record?
