IMHO the hatred of the media probably helped Greg win. I know it would not have affected my vote at all. A far as I am concerned the media has brought this on themselves.

The creepy Dem got 43%. That was not a narrow victory.

maybe he set a precedence on how to handle these liberal aggressive reporters pushing and pushing and pushing trying to provoke conservatives.

The same media that got the entire election wrong is still getting everything wrong. And yet they are still taken seriously.

I hope he packs his brass knuckles before heading off to D.C.
We need fighters, not cucks like Paul RINO.

Listening to him and he sounds FANTASTIC!

Thanks to those who voted for him; he IS a good guy and all in for President Trump's policies.

(1) He didn't even body-slam the POS per Fox News witness

(2) The POS was a Dem operative working for the Guardian

(3) The POS kept badgering him with questions after repeatedly being told to leave

Very good acceptance speech. He even apologized to that ass of a “reporter”. That Quist got over 40% of the vote is testimony to something wrong with a large segment of MT voters.

Yes he won, but he would have lost the popular vote if the illegal Montana residents were able to vote

Even so, the Russian cyber-hacking efforts unduly influenced the vote and a special prosecutor must be appointed to determine why the Democrats lost.

I heard that 70% had voted before the incident, but with 30% remaining in this close an election, it COULD have made a difference, tho I think MT would support Gianforte before some wimpy Guardian reporter.

Now it will be interesting to see how the House handles seating him, lost of Ds will object. because they’re such swell fellows, they’d never, ever, do anything like bodyslam a wimpy Guardian reporter.
