Just 24 hours after being charged with assault for allegedly body-slamming a reporter in his Bozeman campaign office, Republican Greg Gianforte on Thursday defeated Democratic opponent Rob Quist to win the special election for the U.S. House seat in Montana. The race was thrust into the national spotlight in dramatic fashion on Wednesday night after Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs described being "body-slammed" by the GOP candidate, and a Fox News crew who witnessed the incident said the former technology and software executive "grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him." "I'm sick and tired of you guys," Gianforte said in audio of the event released by The Guardian. Jacobs told "Good Morning America" Thursday morning, "I went from being vertical one moment to being horizontal the next."

If he’d lost they’d still be running with the It’s A Rejection Of Trump meme
100% all day long!!!
The cowboy poet just didn’t cut it with the locals...
Congratulations Montana!!!
Jacobs told “Good Morning America” Thursday morning, “I went from being vertical one moment to being horizontal the next.”
Oh, you little crybaby
This twerp, Jacobs, is a Montana Democrat who was signed by the Guardian to cover this special election in hopes that this would be a loss for Pres. Trump.
Media correctly stating he won by 6% and inferring that wasn’t by much, though he did garner 50% of the vote, yet when their candidate wins by 6% - it’s a LANDSLIDE folks!!!!!
Exactly. We win, it’s no big deal. We lose, 42/7 headlines.
And here’s the current headline on Yahoo News, the most non-apologetic never-Trump “news” site:
“Who is Greg Gianforte, the Montana House candidate who allegedly attacked a reporter?”
Oh yeah, he won too.
ABC and other anti Trump mediots are in another snowflake meltdown with this victory for our side.

The latest poll numbers are out. Rasmussen (the most accurate poll of the 2016 election) has Trump at 48 percent approval. It’s important to note that’s just about the exact same place he was at when he was elected president- just under half the country supports him. Since we come out to vote in much higher numbers...and we have an electoral edge in Midwest battleground states...48 percent is all Trump needs to win re-election again. Keep in mind that’s after the two worst weeks in the history of modern presidents. That’s after two weeks of the most biased, vicious, negative...history. That’s after firing the FBI Director.

If you haven’t yet, read on down the articles on FR.
They’re trying the old “Even though a Republican won, it’s a win for Democrats”
The activist journolist barged into his office and was not a first time offender.
No respect was due a partisan shill.
If the pol was a Rat it would say one day after being attacked in his office...
Typically, when someone speaks up about body-slamming....I have this mental image in my mind of Junkyard-Dog picking up Ted Dibiase over his head and throwing him to the ground.
Can I assume that this Montana method was to just push the Brit reporter enough that he just stumbled onto the group? If so, it’s just not body-slamming.
The Guardians of the Uk. He’s interfering in a US election after colluding with foreign entities.
Did this hipster even have lenses in his frames?
This sounds like an amazingly violent attack - how long did it take the ambulance to respond and has the hospital released his status yet?
So, is he going to pay for the reporter’s glasses?
