70% of the vote was cast before the “incident” hit the press.

The assault by Gianforte was reprehensible. Reporters should not ever be in fear of asking ligament questions. His apology should not be accepted.

Wait until this moron is in D.C. surrounded by reporters…all of them shouting questions at him at the same time.

How vicious Republicans ‘dialog’.

Lock him up!!

The press is the enemy of the people and needs to be restrained, violently if necessary. And Republican politicians should never be questioned.

Again, wottsa big deal?

I mean, it was one of them librul journalists, no? And libruls have it coming, no?

And so what if he lied about it afterwards? It was a librul journalist. That’s all you need to know.

.

And besides, It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It!

Gianforte now gets to screw all of Montana’s fine citizens out of any health care safeguards, while giving himself over $800,000 in tax savings. Any complaints will be met with violence.

The good news is Montana’s bear population will benefit from all those grannies thrown into the woods from the nursing homes.

Gianforte believes the Earth is only 6000 years old, dinosaurs and people lived at the same time and dinosaurs were on the Ark. He says that gays should be prosecuted. He doesn’t think people should retire because it isn’t in the Bible which says that Noah built the Ark at the age of 600. His quick leap to violence is just one of the troubling things about this guy.

@MDAVIS4183: No he wasn’t trespassing you illiterate moron. He was doing his job in a public space, and even your favorite fake news source accused Gianforte of wrong doing. And if 70% of the votes hadn’t already been submitted he would have lost because his strongest supporters started pulling their support. Too bad the police only went with misdemeanor assault and not felony assault.

Typed all that, and made a dumb typo in the last paragraph. Sympathies.

INTERVENTOR, the masked protestors at Berkley have been linked to paid right-wing groups.

Ahem: “Assaulting a reporter is reprehensible BUT HE DESERVED IT AND HERE’S A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS YOU SHOULD LOOK AT INSTEAD!!”

Correctly paraphrased.
