[Report]
>Greg Gianforte, the Montana congressman-elect who was accused of "body slamming" a reporter, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault Monday morning.
Judge Rick West sentenced Gianforte to a 180-day deferred sentence, 40 hours of community service, 20 hours of anger management and a $300 fine along with a $85 court fee.
>Gianforte has apologized to the journalist, Ben Jacobs, and also pledged to donate $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists, an organization that promotes press freedom, "in the hope that perhaps some good can come of these events."
>"My physical response to your legitimate question was unprofessional, unacceptable, and unlawful," Gianforte said in the letter.
">I made a mistake and humbly ask for your forgiveness."
>Jacobs accepted the apology.
>Jacobs was present and made a statement in the courtroom. Gianforte later asked if he could address Jacobs directly and apologized again.
>"I just want to say I'm sorry and if and when you're ready, I look forward to sitting down with you in DC," he said.
>In his letter, Gianforte stated: "I had no right to respond the way did to your legitimate question about health care policy. You were doing your job."

Yeah, no, the Left lost, if you want to even divide it into Left Vs Right, personally I see it as the "everyday American" lost and the "rich political cunt with political connections with the fucking chief Chief of Police" won.
Fucking misdemeanor for tackling and punching someone in the face for asking a question about your shitty policy?

Im just impressed to see CNN still exists

You're right, he should have been executed by the police.
6 months probation, a $50,385+ stupidity fine and an accepted apology seems adequate.

People are tired of the media, and most people would have probably done the same thing in his position if they were being harassed.
Hes a big boy reporter. He got a bruise and the other guy got fined. All is well that ends well.

>Physically assault people I'm "tired of" is alright
>Harassed is being asked questions about your job and your responsibility to the taxpayers of your state
Okay.

Despite Trump's bullshit claims, it's not failing. It's actually doing better than ever.

What's to argue about?

Actually, we want to see the lefties tortured. We own up to the fact that we're the big kid who gives the weak feminine, too smart for you shits (aka liberals) wedgies. Hopefully, this'll learn the liberals a thing or two, since they apparently didn't learn when they were in school thanks to our libtard schools cracking down on bullying.

LOL

but when the opposite happens, the left is suddenly violent and intolerant. i find it weird that you're posturing on an anonymous site
>>
>>148972
For anonymous praise no less.
Aren't these fucks the same kind that whine about antifa? The group that -literally- thinks the only way to deal with the alt-right is violence?
>>
>>148934
And Gianforte's sentencing shows that you can't get away with that shit. Sorry, buddy, but you cannot defeat the liberals. We will just come back stronger every time.

Yup! Everyone knows- if you defeat your political adversaries in elections, your adversaries win.

You can always point out the people who have not even pushed someone aggressively by them professing love of torture.
You have to be 18 to post here.
