I'm not defending the attack, but man, it's obvious so many of the people that have been reporting on this race in the past few weeks want him to lose.


And since he's the type of guy that, you know, body slams reporters, no wonder so many people want him to lose. I know this is a far right leaning forum, but come on y'all. This guy apparently tackled/body slammed a reporter for disagreeing with him. That's way over the line and is not tolerable or acceptable no matter what the reporter was asking him. Unless the reporter actually physically attacked this guy, there's no excuse for what he did and everyone should want him to lose because of this.

Just imagine this were the opposite and a democratic candidate did this to a right wing reporter, y'all would be jumping down his throat in an instant. There's no excuse for this and if the facts show that this guy did what he's accused of doing and you still support him, you're pathetic.

Learn to read, big apple moonbitch.

I already said that this should disqualify him.

my point is that the journalists covering this race aren't interested in covering it, they are interested in influencing it.

One, that's not justification for putting your hands on anyone, and two, in this race, what have they done in particular that crossed the line from covering a race to influencing it?

the statement of the BuzzFeed girl who was right outside



Irrelevant. Cannot under any circumstances be trusted.


His statement from his team contradicts their account.


It's their word vs his team's word. No physical evidence to prove one way or the other makes this a wash.


But i get its fun for people to take sides based on hearsay.


What are the courtroom stats about eye witness testimonies again? I heard they're not as great as one might think.

And the Fox News reporters in the room with Gianforte when Jacobs came in, whose story resembles more closely the other journalists' accounts rather than Gianforte's.

I hope you are not so naive to believe you are getting a tax cut. The tax cut is for the the rich, not for you. You may get a teaser cut in verbage, but in the end you will get nothing. Middle america pays for everything.

I don't really understand the "moonbitch" insult. But I'll give you points for creativity.

Sure, you haven't posted anything supporting this guy, but you're sure going out of your way to try and understand his actions by pointing out that the reporters are biased. And I don't think, despite what you claim, that you've posted anything saying he should be disqualified either.

Like I said, it's not surprising members of the media are supporting his opposition if this guy is literally attacking them. A candidate cannot physically attack a reporter, whether the reporter is a shill or not.

Interested in seeing what he said to the police. His campaign statement didn't seem to count on eyewitness testimony that this was assault. Sadly, lying about this may lose him more credibility than assault. A "he had it coming" kind of response would (again sadly) make him a bigger hero with the large number of journalist-haters.

Either way, even if he never serves a day (perhaps especially if he never serves a day), he'll not need to a buy a beer in a lot of places.

How does their direct eyewitness account fall under hearsay? I mean we are essentially engaging in hearsay for all intents and purposes in our (most anyways) discussions, but their accounts are not hearsay.

But when there are multiple instances, the parties are not in question, and audio to corroborate, then the reliability and validity of eyewitness testimony is going it be less questionable.
