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.
maybe he set a precedence on how to handle these liberal aggressive reporters pushing and pushing and pushing trying to provoke conservatives.
BINGO - and they c an' remove him ;)
Love it
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.
The media almost took him out with a sensationalized story that later had some key facts retracted. Very dangerous, an 11th hour “surprise” caused by a reporter provoking him.
The people engineering these things, especially the ones getting up close and personal, need to be maimed in a way that could withstand legal scrutiny.
