Okay so I tuned in at lunch. The struggle is real. You are welcome.
Rush sarcastically was saying how horrible Gianforte attacking Ben Jacobs was. Of course this changed into "the studly and manly Republican Gianforte body slamming the millennial wet dish rag reporter from the Guardian Ben Jacobs". He repeated that at least 4 times. There was some mention of "pajamas" that I had missed.
Then the calls came in. He'd said he'd like to have calls from Montana and your not going to believe this but all 4 callers were from Montana. Yes really. All four supported Gianforte because the reporter was "rude" "impolite" and "in his face". One referenced pajamas.
So, yeah. That's them AND it's how they want this to appear.

(19,107 posts)People on the Left are living in a bubble, they really don't understand the hatred the Right has for Liberals. There are millions of Republicans who in their hearts would have loved it if he had beaten that man to death.
You are living among tens of millions of people who want to kill you, literally.

I really, really, really understand it.

I know that's not 100% of the people in the state, and like I said, he's been there...I haven't.
But my gut is telling me that because it's Montana, Gianforte STILL has a shot at a win.
