"""BREAKING: Lifelong Democrat Operative at The @Guardian Ben Jacobs Lies About Assault on GOP Candidate Greg Gianforte"""

A former minion for the Iowa Democratic Party now operating as a Guardian reporter, Ben Jacobs, assaulted Montana Republican House candidate Greg Gianforte on Wednesday. Jacobs has a history of opposing his political opponents’ freedom of speech, as GotNews reported in October.

Gianforte is competing against Democratic candidate Rob Quist for a House seat that opened up after President Donald J. Trump appointed Ryan Zinke to be secretary of the interior. The special election is Thursday.

A statement about Jacobs’ assault from Greg for Montana campaign spokesperson Shane Scanlon reads:

Isn’t this trying to influence an election? I know how serious that is. I hear about it everyday from the MSM. Surely this reporter is toast. /s/

It sure is.

And Jacobs should be arrested for assault as well. By the testimony of everyone involved, he initiated the violence.

FYI, we in Montana don’t care what the news is in Miami about our election. We know how to roll on this one.

Beauty isn’t just the outside.... and she really doesn’t have any on the inside. Think Succubus, looks nice but it is still a demon.

I understand.

My point in posting the information was to show how the left, which includes the media down here, amplifies ANYTHING that will hurt conservatism (you are hundreds of miles away) while ignoring problems with their own people (Debbie Wasserschmuck is a Miami girl).

I do hope you all drive a stake in the heart of liberal’s hopes tonight.

Nude singing?

Quist's website hails his "values of rural Montana"

Quist faces Republican Greg Gianforte today in a special election https://t.co/5FrTmifirV— Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) May 25, 2017

We had a real laugh in high school when Quist’s band came and played at a mandatory assembly.

Their big song?

“Take A Whiff On Me”

A song about snorting cocaine.

And our teachers didn’t have a clue.

No video? Didn’t happen, sorry not buying it.
If it were me I’d hold a Press Conference and say two words : fake news.

Other than beautiful scenery, I know nothing about Montana. Is snorting cocaine a rural Montana value? I know Ted Turner is a big landowner. (;>

Do bear in mind I wasn’t chastising you in any way. Merely pointing out to the national press that they don’t get much sympathy here.

Thanks for your support. This so-called assault is an act of desperation by the Dem operatives with bylines.

“...sure to be a slam dunk in Congress...”

Don’t be too sure. Liberal Californians have been invading Montana and Idaho for a number of years now and the political landscape is beginning to change colors.

It seems as if the goal was to get something negative about the Republican candidate in the news right before the election. True or not, they knew the media would run with it regardless. Retractions always appear on page 25, as opposed to the original headlines.

If it successful and the Republican loses the election, we can expect this in every race from here forward.
