Haw-Haw. Fox News is reporting that it's all true based on Fox News crew who was there.



Two nights in a row Fox News has shown they in fact do have a spine and a few principles left.

How can anyone deny that at this point, they have become an arm of the democratic party?



Dude if anyone of either party did that to a literal tracker- a person whose job it is to follow candidates- they would still probably end up in jail eventually.

Ah if he was punching him and stuff that's a different story and I will eat crow.


Wait, a body slam is fine, but punches cross the line?

if he wins the election, why would he lose the spot, even if convicted? being in prison doesn't stop someone from holding a congressional position unless they choose to resign

Yeah it's lame but I mean how do you read Acuna's statement and not think that's at the very least misdemeanor assault?

I don't think Ryan will seat him, especially if Fox is against him this hard.

Alicia Acuna is a highly respected reporter. Her reporting speaks for itself. So that's not going to help him.


That doesn't make what she says true. Her being respected only matters if there's no other possible way to gather facts or get other perspectives.

Honestly, with Acuna's statement I think he's a goner even if he wins-- that's criminal assault
And? Am I missing something here? Do you think the House is gonna impeach him or something?

Wait. You don't think a Congressional Candidate, the day before the election grabbing a reporter by the throat, throwing him to the ground and then punching him repeatedly in the face while screaming is a bombshell?


Some of you guys sound like some real poons. "While screaming!!" for dramatic effect.

Keep reading, I said if he was actually punching the guy, I mean yeah, lock him up. I thought he just tackled the little cuck in an effort to forcibly remove him. If said force was excessive, sure I'm on board.

What she says matches or exceeds the audio account, the reporter's statement, and the statement of the BuzzFeed girl who was right outside.

Plus there were apparently three FNC people in the room.

Becoming hard to see his side of the story.

Mean questions from mean reporters whose job happens to be covering a special election. Very mean questions.

If a shitbag reporter got dusted up for being a douche, I'd probably a) laugh and b) not vote for the candidate who can't control himself

But here, I'm not even sure that applies

And, the campaign's statement doesn't jibe with the audio or witness accounts
