Guest shiloh357 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Greg Gianforte, the GOP House candidate in Montana who was neck-and-neck with his Democratic opponent before Thursday's special election, was cited for misdemeanor assault after an incident with a newspaper reporter, just hours before polls open. The Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that there was probable cause to issue a citation, but the nature of the injuries “did not meet the statutory elements of a felony assault.” Still, the incident sent shockwaves across the country and resulted in two key Montana newspapers taking back their earlier endorsement. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/25/greg-gianforte-montana-house-gop-candidate-cited-for-misdemeanor-assault-after-incident.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The guy is an idiot and he has lost the election. But funny how they can cite him for misdemeanor assault, but Hillary's 110 felony counts go unaddressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have just called security and had the reporter removed. Body slamming him has cost him the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, Greg - you did it! Unfortunately, even though many in your party would LIKE to kick the snot out of some reporters, they know it's not the mature or grown up thing to do. Schoolyard bullies belong on the playground, not in Congress. And you just lost the election. Blessings, -Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You miss the point. This was some obscure election out in Montana - contrary to the blatherings of the fine lady from San Francisco and others of her partisan persuasion, it had and has NOTHING to do with the current occupant of the WH. Without even delving deeply into the factors in this LOCAL election (of which I admittedly know nothing) , I could safely say that local issues will determine the winner. As they have and will continue to do now and into the future. Surprised that you - who decries partisanship at most every turn - fell for this.
