>The Republican candidate for Montana’s congressional seat has been charged with misdemeanor assault after he is alleged to have slammed a Guardian reporter to the floor on the eve of the state’s special election, breaking his glasses and shouting, “Get the hell out of here.”

>Ben Jacobs, a Guardian political reporter, was asking Greg Gianforte, a tech millionaire endorsed by Donald Trump, about the Republican healthcare plan when the candidate allegedly “body-slammed” the reporter.

>“He took me to the ground,” Jacobs said by phone from the back of an ambulance. “I think he wailed on me once or twice ... He got on me and I think he hit me ... This is the strangest thing that has ever happened to me in reporting on politics.”

>Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna, field producer Faith Mangan and photographer Keith Railey witnessed the incident at Gianforte’s campaign headquarters in Montana, according to an account published by foxnews.com. After Jacobs asked Gianforte his question, Acuna wrote: “Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him.

>“Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the man, as he moved on top the reporter and began yelling something to the effect of ‘I’m sick and tired of this!’ ... To be clear, at no point did any of us who witnessed this assault see Jacobs show any form of physical aggression toward Gianforte, who left the area after giving statements to local sheriff’s deputies.”

Why are rightists become so violent? Is it something in their brain structure? How do we dissect their thinking so we can understand them better?

Obviously some mental disorder with righties. Primitive minds resorting to barbaric acts of aggression! They can't be helped.

From the WaPo article on the event

beaten as children

>(Authoritarian parents were defined as being more likely to use punishment, emphasize obedience, and have strict rules for discipline and behavior, whereas egalitarian parents were seen as less rigid and more open to their children voicing opinions and bending the rules.)

>When the kids turned 4 and a half, their mothers filled out questionnaires on their children's temperaments. At age 18, the children with authoritarian parents were more likely to be conservative. The researchers found similar results among the fearful children--those who were afraid of the dark or who would get upset watching a sad event on television--regardless of how they were raised. At age 18, they had more conservative values than those who had restless, active or attention-focusing temperaments as children.

The media is the least credible form of witness imaginable on this issue (a repulican endorsed by Trump)

>>143545

Jesus that's a 5-8 point in some districts swing towards Democrats since November. I didn't think it would be that close.
>>
>>143545

I don't know if it boosted his popularity; most votes were already cast when this happened.

But why don't we have a shred of consistency from folks on the right? Too many republican politicians are keeping quiet instead of condemning this and we shouldn't need Fox news to confirm the account before people trust that someone was assaulted.

>in other words the race that wasn't supposed to be competitive had the GOP sweating bullets for a few seconds
>>
>>143204
My congressman can beat up your congressman.
>>
>>143545

I'm not sure it's a boost as much as something that came in too late in the election cycle to really have an impact. By yesterday most of the early votes were already in, and anyone who didn't watch the overnight/morning news probably didn't even hear of the event before they hit the ballot box before work. Lunchtime/after-work voters are more likely to have gotten the news from coworkers at least.

>>143552

If I was a Republican strategist, I would be a bit worried that what should be easy wins are closer than they should be. If you aren't doing well in the safe districts, how competitive are you going to be in the swing districts? A victory is a victory, but if you see the gap narrowing it means the winning streak might end soon unless you take corrective action.
>>
>>143545

Predictions had 60% of the votes already cast by election day, so it had a significantly weakened effect.

The people have spoken. GF knows how to handle liberals, and this latest show of force proves it to the people of Montana. Ideally, liberals would all disappear, but I'll settle with having them cower in fear for their lives instead.

"There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today," Gianforte, who made millions in the software business, said while speaking at the Montana Bible College. "Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach.'"

“The example I think of is Noah. How old was Noah when he built the ark? Six hundred. He wasn’t, like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn’t hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work.”

oh lol
enjoy him Montana; you've clearly earned this guy to represent you.
>>
>>143204

The way I heard it; the reporter trespassed into a private office and got into Gianforte’s face, shoving a microphone under his nose and when Gianforte batted the reporter’s arm away, the reporter started a scuffle and quite rightly got his ass handed to him and is now crying assault, just as he had planned all along.
>>
>>143618
Hitting him is small time.The rack, iron maiden, pear of anguish, or heretic's fork; that's how you show a liberal some good old fashioned conservative hospitality. They don't have consciences, they don't have souls, but they can be trained like the dogs they are through fear and pain, and used as fodder in our wars of conquest.
>>
>>143615
My type of guy.
>>
>>143618
Every eye witness account aside from Gianforte's assistant disagree with this and say the guy literally just came into what was an open area and tried to ask Gianforte a few questions.
>>
>>143631

Fucking Poe's Law Jesus Christ. Your fedora is on too tight.
>>
>>143204
Should listen to the audio. He asks a question pretty calmly but you can tell gianforte gets pissed, and before you know it, you just hear a scuffle and him yelling and the reporter wondering wtf happened.

Even though you can't see it, you can tell the reporter wasn't being aggressive at all. The fact that the other reporters backed up this guy is impressive too.

So what’s the run down on this?

I heard the reporter was trespassing and/or walked into a private office and got into the politician’s face and shoved a mic under his nose and when the politician batted the reporter’s arm away, they got into a scuffle.

I’ve also heard that the reporter did nothing wrong and the politician just attacked him for no reason (which seems unlikely to me).

He hasn't broken the law either.
>>
>>143204
>Decide to be a public interest person.
>Gets mad when the public ask a question.
>>
>>144113
I automatically default to the reporter being the shit here, since every time you see footage of them trying to talk to someone out in public who doesn't want to be bothered, they're always getting in their way and being a bother.
>>
Makes me happy he won anyway. The libs were pulling all the stops out to try and defeat this guy to try and make it seem like their "resistnace" has actually acommplished something.

BTW the omaha mayors race was supposed to be another "trump referendum" and the gop beat the democrat for the first time in 17 years.

I remember by this point in obamas presidency the gop had already made some gains.

It's not just rightists... it's all extremists, including far lefties. I think they're violent because deep down, they know that they are weak and, over a long time frame, losing. The future belongs to free market, economically globalized capitalism with social safety nets. Cults like communism, fascism, Christianity, and Islam are doomed.

Republican candidates arent staying quiet for any other reason than popularity. Politicians want to have and maintain power. For republicans a theatrical performance has demonstrated to be of higher importance than level headed political and social theory. If republicans keep on violently being belligerent they will keep on winning.

God would never bless him for such action, and your sentiment is completely anti-American, anti-Democratic, and anti-free-press.

A truly anti-liberal statement in the truest sense, as it rejects freedom.

Why don't you move to a totalitarian state like North Korea?
