Gianforte was cited for misdemeanor assault and given a ticket. The sheriff said it did not rise to the level of a felony.

Much ado about nothing, but with the (Democrat) media's help, it might tip the scales against him.

Liberal media like Fox News.

Murdoch's sons run the show now, and you can see a shift to the left. O'Reilly is gone, and Hannity can't be far behind. At the very least there's a Never-Trump bias.

The reporter was not from Fox News.

Their ratings have tanked since. Good move

Oh, and not reading the article or anything.  But just looking at the picture.  But how much of a pussy must you be to be body slammed by someone that looks like he's 80 years old.

I just heard the recording.

Reporter: "You body slammed me and broke my glasses!"

LOL.

Another reporter who witnessed the incident is now walking back her story and saying she may have "embellished" details of it.

There was no "neck grab".

Alicia Acuna of Fox News.

This is the original story from Fox.  

I am probably going to believe the initial report since that is before any bigwigs at Fox could get to them

Interesting to see fan is ok with it since it was a liberal reporter....Shane scanlon is good at his job.

The guy wasn't invited, refused to leave, became even more aggressive and got really what he deserved. Not feeling there should be anything more than an apology issued by the reporter for inviting the situation by being where he didn't belong and refusing to follow directions.

Yep. He did tell him to wait on his question and then redirected him on who to ask. Just like a little kid when told no the first couple of times but kept pushing it.

Just another example of Cons being exactly like Libs.  If you don't like something, break out the violence. 

 

Use your words, people!

Are you really trying to justify an assault of a reporter for asking questions?   I mean, would you still vote for that guy?

[mtangelsfan]

For the first time in over 10 years I voted for a Republican (absentee) because it was a special election and Quist is such a jackass.

Now I wish I hadn't voted at all.  Dude is going to have reporters in his face as long as he is in politics.  

[fan_since79]

I understand at least 70% of the ballots were absentee and already in, so will this really turn the election?

We'll soon find out.

LMAO, good one

Also, a public servant attacked a journalist, that is just about as anti-American as you can get.

The things that you'll turn your head and happily cough for could escalate if you're cool with stuff like this. You'd be losing your trigger happy, thread-starting mind if this was a liberal, and we all know it. Hell, this thread would have been started by you if it was a lib.

Seems pretty American to me these days.

So of course Gianforte wins relatively easily.

[fan_since79]

The incident and the hysterics in the press don't seem to have hurt Gianforte too much.

He's up 50 to 44% with 69% of precincts reporting.
