Just an aside to the wording.”——threw to the GROUND”. Why is it so often called ‘ the ground’ when it was the ‘floor’? They were inside and the ‘ground’ is outside.

This is a pet peeve of mine. Superfluous I know, but it always gets to me.

I can’t imagine that there is no video with all the reporters in the room at the time.

What reporters. He was in a room where a Fox news crew was setting up for an interview
with him when this event happened.

How to make millions:

1) Move to a highly-conservative state
2) Run for Congress as a Democrat
3) Travel to Hollywood, San Francisco, Boston, New York City and Washington DC spouting whatever liberal nonsense you can - the more quirky, and clever, the better.
4) Spout Trump paranoia
5) Have virulent Trump-hating liberals flood your campaign with cash.
6) Lose the election by 30 points.
7) Retire*

*(or, if you still need more money, move to another conservative state and repeat the process)

“This was the right thing to do, unambiguously and in public.”

And it is what everyone should do to reporters.

Good for him.

And I hope it was the kind of non-apology apology that the left is famous far, so the reporter was left grinding his teeth.

“If this reporter had been your kid or you sibling ask yourself how you would feel”

I would feel ashamed. If my kid becomes a reporter I will feel like a failure.

Oh is that not what you were talking about? I think you should be allowed to punch anyone that sticks a camera or mike in your face.

By any definition in the world I grew up in the guy invaded his space, got in his face, and harassed him. He should not have given an inch.

Indeed. Charged, presumed innocent? For GOP, charged - apologize. This is Ryan’s methodology as he asked him to apologize.


There was a corrupt Democrat CONVICTED of 18 FELONIES here in FLorida a couple weeks ago. Naturally, the Democrats still support her. And to top it off: she was stealing from a CHILDREN’S CHARITY!

Tester is a Democrat and it certainly is not a good time to be one.

“Ben, I’m sorry you were such a disrespectful and harassing bitch, forcing me to deal with you in the only way a liberal dBag could understand.”

Bad move. That apology may very well come back to bite him in any criminal or civil proceeding. Showing remorse suggests guilt and makes a lawyer drool.

Yes I’m sure it was sincere and heart-felt.

This was Montana so there's a good chance it was the ground.

Just kidding Montana, I love you guys.

He may be more comfortable among the pacifist Christians being slaughtered in the Middle East.

Christians in the Middle east are not pacifists, as you have inveighed.

What a stupidly uninformed thing to say.

Ryan should not have commented on this situation. He needs to be gone!
