Guardian Reporter: Montana GOP Candidate 'Body Slammed Me' | All In | MSNBC

The sheriff who is investigating Gianforte is ONE OF HIS DONORS

As a Montanan, I can tell you how absolutely desperate the republicans are about this election. At least 3 calls a day about how terrible Quist is and, when I asked them to, didn't remove me from their call list. If they had my vote before (not), they lost it then. That's not even to mention that I'm on the do not call list...

Jesse The Body Ventura was governor of Minnesota and even he never body slammed a reporter.

[corysimenson]

Many of us here are furious about this. So please don't judge us over this guy. Believe it or not, we're trying to keep this guy out of our seat.

[MrAlfam]

Now, I will donate as much as I can to Gianforte.Gianforte for President !!

[angelabluebird]

Heard the audio last night. Gianforte was way out of line. If a reporter or citizen had body slammed a candidate, they would
have been arrested. Gianforte wasn't. Then Gianforte released such a tall tale which did not match at all with the audio.

i'm voting for this man, reporters must learn there limits :)

Hold up, reporters may have to carry arms in order to defend themselves from politicians 🤔

[brettperry]

Given that it's Montana; I wouldn't be surprised if that guy has a twenty point lead by this time tomorrow.

[davehaynes]

We are going to be winning so much that we will be sick of winning lol

[saeeda]

Wonder if the reporter filed a police report...? Why did he call everyone else before contacting the police to file charges?

[Bolgernow]

This is unacceptable. Throw the book at these cretans

[thathHorseMan]

This man is a hero! We need to do this to all media!!

[donnaleesmith]

And this is the America you voted for! Good luck!

[ThePamela]

He is from New Jersey not Montana. Ran his campaign like a gangster thug.

[llg]

He broke the reporter in half. Like a BOY.

[bastardofdaparty]

This guy will see a bump in the polls from this

[bacasevajhill]

Let's be adults, assault is assault period.

[usncorpsman]

This is certainly worse than murdering a whistleblower!!

[Gorilla_Jones]

Trumpsters and followers of The Legion of Doom will say "snowflake" got what he deserved.

America, welcome to IDOCRACY.
