The race to fill the lone Montana House seat vacated by Rep. Ryan Zinke who was named Interior Secretary, just got a lot more interesting.
Already considered too close to call by both sides, GOP candidate Gianforte was involved in an altercation with a reporter for the ultra-liberal Guardian newspaper where eyewitnesses say the tech millionaire body slammed the journalist and began to punch him.

Hmmm. Sounds like a set up to me. Apparently Gianforte has some history with this particular "news" outlet and went in purposely to provoke a reaction. Also heard that Alicai Acunia has changed her story some. Also heard that some idiots are saying this is because of Trump's rhetoric. What. Saw Ryan being asked about NOT seating Gianforte when he wins. Uh, what? I don't think the voters of Montana would be too happy with that. Polls close soon and a LOT of ballots were mailed in already. Misdemeanor A & B charges so far.

Acuna, the eyewitness, now changes her story. No “neck grab.”
This has vaulted this guy like crazy-—hearing voters in line say “I’d vote for him twice,” and “they deserve it.”

Ben Jacobs was A-OK with one of his fellow journofools punching out a gay conservative reporter back in March 2017.
So, Punching a Nazi Hypocrite like Ben doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Just flipping around the Fake News and Chris Matthews called this, and Trump “shoving” another world leader out of the way- “2 belligerent" moves from this administration. CNN was foaming at the mouth about Kushner and the FBI. Pathetic

I don't think they understand what kind of fire they're playing with.
If they nullify my vote for President Trump, I'll be setting aside the ballot box as a waste of time...

Remember all the media coverage of when ex-VA Dem. Congressman and grade-A Shanty Irish, Boston-born thug, “Gentleman Jim” Moran, choked an 8-year old Black kid ?
Yeah, I don’t, either.

I have no doubt this that this altercation was orchestrated, and achieved the desired result.
Nonetheless, whatever the outcome, it is good to see the Left being taught that there are still places where a man doesn't insult, poke, deliberately provoke another man, without paying a price.
Montana is such a place.

Yeah....seems like the DBM is pulling out all stops to elect Brokeback Mountain. They’re trying to create a trend so they can begin to scream “momentum!”

Just about 5:20 there now, so 3 hours, I think.

If he REALLY body slammed him, he would not be able to talk.
