    Are you daft? You've got Harris, Pelosi, Clinton all calling for it, granted they call it harrassment, but you know what that means to youth these days. So pull your head out and wake up.

    Wasn't there some thug that shoved a 70 yr old to the ground over his handicapped parking spot? As I recall that violent outburst didn't really work out the way the thug imagined it would. :;):

    total votes is total votes for the entire country...and Trump got less total votes, yet Trump the loser still won and is still our President...

    you seem to think everyone's votes should not be equal.. one person\one vote

    I know the cult of Trump has a hard time hearing this from normal Americans... so let me let Trump explain

    There was no total vote of the country. You didn't vote in my state election for our electors and I didn't vote in yours.

    yes there is, every vote counts and that total is the total and Trump got less of those votes

    just cause Trump lost the popular vote doesn't mean it no longer exists, it does and Trump lost it

    I think that guy is in his late 40s, isn't in good physical health, and is standing trial for homicide. no matter what happens to the shooter...acquittal, conviction.... the aggressive moron who violently blindsided him is still deader than dirt.

    Trump is a natural bully with a mega sized ego to feed... a bad President though

    millions more voters supported Hillary then Trump... so even there your logic fails

    It DOES change the "it is terrible" portion of the quote because he is not calling the behavior terrible, he is explicitly saying that it is terrible that he might lose.

    Every vote in your state counts in your state and nowhere else. We have no national elections. Civics 101.

    Yes because when we have audio, you can hear what people are doing with your eyes.

    It's quite plain on an audio recording when a video recorder is shoved in your face, and the details of a physical confrontation become crystal clear.

    Jesus Christ, you couldn't even finish the sentence, could you? "...as well as the Fox News account.” There were people in the room that backed up Jacobs' story and discredited the story from Gianforte's campaign.

    According to the people in the room: “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.”

    And also considering Stanlon's account distinctly included the lie that Jacob was told to leave and put down the recorder, which we would be able to hear in the audio, it is quite clear who is lying here. And you're propagating that lie because of your inability to read.

    Oh and incidentally, others back up the original story I posted.

    Typical lefty barges in, shoves recorder in his face, typical lefty won't **** and leave, gets destroyed. Get used to it.

    https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fox...nt-greg-gianforte-allegedly/story?id=47633135

    In a Fox News report summarizing the alleged incident, Acuna said she and two members of her production crew -- field producer Faith Mangan and photographer Keith Raily -- had a scheduled interview with Gianforte at the candidate's office in Bozeman, Montana, on Wednesday. Gianforte entered the room and "exchanged pleasantries and made small talk about restaurants and Bozeman" with Acuna and her team, she said.

    "During that conversation, another man — who we now know is Ben Jacobs of The Guardian — walked into the room with a voice recorder, put it up to Gianforte's face and began asking if he had a response to the newly released Congressional Budget Office report on the American Health Care Act," Acuna wrote in the Fox News report. "Gianforte told him he would get to him later. Jacobs persisted with his question. Gianforte told him to talk to his press guy, Shane Scanlon."

    The encounter suddenly took a violent turn, she said.

    "Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him," Acuna wrote. "Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the reporter. As Gianforte moved on top of Jacobs, he began yelling something to the effect of, 'I'm sick and tired of this!'"

    Pretty sure that asking questions isn't violence. Pretty sure that punching a guy and then body slamming him is. Which is why Gianforte was arrested and Jacobs wasn't. If you guys seriously think that a reporter doing his job is violence, you guys may want to save the "snowflake" moniker for yourselves. Seriously, what babies.

    You'd like me to explain how someone shoving something in your face and refusing to leave is, at a minimum, a confrontational act that can easily lead to violence?

    Stop mobbing people and we'll stop body slamming.

    When did you stop beating your wife?

    See, questions can lead to violence.

    Stay out of people's faces and the body slams will stop.

    It’s. Their. Job. Do you even know how a recorder is supposed to work? Do you know how a microphone works? You need to be close to record audio. It isn’t a confrontational act, which again, is why Gianforte was charged with assault and Jacobs wasn’t.

    But keep being a wussy and calling an audio recorder being close to somebody’s face “violence”. Snowflake.
