No, he's a self-made, right-wing, Christian billionaire who provided Bozeman with 500+ new jobs. He's hated across the state by the unions, universities and government bureaucracies.
Somebody upthread is spouting nonsense about making his fortune on the back of little guys, whatever. That's the same kind of envious bullshit that has been leveled by the Left against Trump, and is indeed what the entire campaign against Gianforte has been: he is rich and you aren't.
He's very pleasant in person but not a gifted campaigner. He is miles beyond his lying, cheating, deadbeat scumbag opponent, and far better than most of his soon-to-be-colleagues in the House.
Hate to say it but Gianforte is probably toast now. The Rat has disguised himself as an aw shucks gun lovin cowboy which plays well in Montana. This will give them an excuse to vote for the Rat. Pity, MSM will claim the wave has begun and on to GA where PJ Boy is probably going to win. The GOP is going to get creamed for not supporting Trump.
Amen. Too bad the video doesn’t exist. His word against leftist apparatchiks now. I am very surprised that he is one of us, knowing how relentless Mitch is in thwarting Tea Party patriots.
