Gotta love the MSM and libtards pushing the narrative that

I'd be interested to see if he would have gotten elected without early voting, imo it was his friend in this instance.
“Respectfully, I’d submit that the president has unearthed some demons,” Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) said. “I’ve talked to a number of people about it back home. They say, ‘Well, look, if the president can say whatever, why can’t I say whatever?’ He’s given them license.”

Yeah that's BS...if people we're influenced by the President, then a lot of men would have been wearing mom-jeans for the past 8 years.
I find it interesting that the liberals, the perpetrators of so much politically motivated violence, are upset when someone finally pushed back.
You must admit Boom, the left is engaging in far more violence than the right. Look no further than the protest around the country. Property destruction, people seriously injured, threats and intimidation. The left has zero room to talk about political violence.
First of all: I believe the left isn't a uniform existence. Not everyone on the right thinks alike, right?
And we need to get away from seeing things in these terms so definitively. The right shouldn't defend it, and the left shouldn't defend Berkeley violence either. The big difference though is that this man is an elected official representing the GOP.
Pushing back would have been the candidate attacking a protester. Attacking a reporter asking a policy question is out of line. That's like someone reacting to an armed robbery in a restaurant by shooting the old couple at table number 3.
This post started because someone was upset that Trump got blamed for this. This isn't Trump's fault, but it is also not at all related to violent protesters.
Congressional candidate body slams and punches reporter, nothing to see here. He'll forever be known for that and he better get used to getting asked about it. Need to send female reporters to ask him questions in the future as hopefully he won't assault them.
I am talking about facts. Do you want me to list the violence the left has perpetrated over the last year? The campus violence? The violence at rallies?
The two sides aren't even close. And this is far more than just Berkeley.
Who has perpetrated the most political violence over the past year, the left or the right?
WTF does that have to do with someone seeking political office assaulting a reporter for asking a policy question?
Wait, I finally get your point. The reporter had a beard and glasses - could be mistaken for a mask. A microphone could have been a small bat. This is starting to make sense, especially since this was in Montana, the nation's hotbed of left-leaning violent protesters.
Yep, an adult Congressional candidate has every right to physically assault a reporter asking questions at a public event.Yep, it was all over a simply policy question that the candidate didn't want to answer.
Yep, I'm sure it was ALL about a policy question, those mean R's don't like it when you ask them tough questions. [thumbsup]
I ask you a simple question and your decision not to respond speaks volumes. A reporter is no more or less important than those people who were assaulted during leftist protests.
I will ask you once again, which side is committing most of the violence? By the way, have you watched the head of the DNC and his rhetoric recently? Or did you see the DNC of California and the rhetoric they used recently? If not, use Google and watch what these people had to say.

Being knit-picky, 'violent protesters' was used comparatively in the 1st post.
What was the "policy question" you mention. I don't think something as simple as a question would cause Gianforte to pounce like a rabid dog. Still wrong, as verbal assault comes with the job of politician. Wait, maybe the mean liberal reporter triggered the representative. hmmm.
I keep hearing complaints about safe spaces for college kids. This is an adult who wanted a safe space from reporters' questions. If he can't handle simple questions, he shouldn't have run for office.
I think he shoved or body slammed the reporter. But as I have pointed out and no lib will acknowledge, the left engages in far more violence then the right. Far more and the assaults much worse.
I won't list on the times the left as assaulted those on the right either on campuses or at political rallies, but let me leave you with Dem leaders and their actions:

Libs go nuts over this one incident yet completely ignore the political violence and suppression of fundamental American law.

I've heard the audio and read the eye witness accounts from the Fox News reporters. Obviously the evidence was good enough for local law enforcement to file assault charges. Like it or not, it happened and they guy still got elected though they say that last election in Montana that approx. 62% had already voted by the day before the election thus my initial comment in the thread.
