Support NeoGAF

[Randolph Freelander]

It has just been confirmed by Fox News that Greg Gianforte is a Real American.

He also fights for the rights of every man.

 

[Escape Goat]

Can the Democrat do some last minute attack ads and use this?

The election is tomorrow.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

So should he press charges?

 

[water_wendi]

so are they going to remove him from the ballot tomorrow because he's going to be sitting in jail for assault, and fleeing the scene?

He seems to be wealthy so the law probably wont apply.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

So should he press charges?

Yes, he should.

 

[Netherscourge]

Can the reporter sue?

Lawyers are probably lining up right now.

Dude is going to make SERIOUS CASH off this stupid ass Republican.

 

[DrMungo]

So should he press charges?

I believe reporter said he is talking to police

And he just runs off like a little bitch at the end, too. What a piece of shit.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Play this all day tomorrow CNN! It could dip the numbers for sure, and maybe be enough to get a D win.

 

[Ashodin]

Is hulking out on someone for gently urging you to answer a question against the law?

In the beginning of the questioning in the audio, the guy is clearly nervous about asking the question too (presumably because of Gianforte's size).

 

[TS-08]

Can the reporter sue?

Of course.

 

[StopMakingSense]

So should he press charges?

Yes.

But going by everything, he shouldn't even have to.

 

[RoboPlato]

Added audio to OP

 

[Crocodile]

This needed to happen a few days ago to have a real impact on the race I feel

Still, either way, fuck this guy! What's wrong with him?

Hopefully it gets plastered all over Montana news tonight!

 

[Cuburt]

That audio was so damning.

That dude lost it. Hope he gets destroyed in their election.

Plus this guy got Russian ties? GTFO

 

[BlastProcessing]

Maybe Gianforte thought he was running for Mayor instead of Representative?

 

[Stinkles]

Reporter is calling from hospital where they're staying his arm.

 

[royalan]

Lets hope this turns out the Dem support, because this won't do a thing to turn off the Republican base.

 

[RootCause]

He even asks him if he was from the guardian. Trump better not applaud this filth.

 

[Buckle]

This needed to happen a few days ago to have a real impact on the race I feel

He shouldn't even be allowed in the running anymore though.

He fucking physically assaulted someone over a question.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Did he kick out?

 

[AYF 001]

MontanaGAF, now would be a pretty good time to put these stories on your social media so people can realize what they need to vote to stop.

"GOP candidate with Russian ties assaults reporter over healthcare controversy before election" should be a good summary.

 

[Lord Frieza]

He seems to be wealthy so the law probably wont apply.

Pretty sure it was white on white, and there's a tape, and he fled the scene. This is like Dredd level of fucked. Dude is getting at least a sizable settlement

 

[chekhonte]

Listening to that audio after the guy says he broke his glasses, you can hear just faintly, the guy sounding like he regretted what he did.

Pretty sure that was an aide and not gainforte.

 

[rokkerkory]

Montanians are tough!

 

[K.Sabot]

Soon:

Gianforte: "That's not me, that audio tape is fake news created by the deep state."


Gianforte wins the election.

 

[TheOMan]

Dont say that about wrestling

Came to post this.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Worked himself into a shoot

 

[btrboyev]

Snes his ass to jail for assault. Should be disqualified as a public official.

 

[BADMAN]

He also fights for the rights of every man.

WHATCHA GONNA DO BROTHER, WHEN THE GOPMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU

 

[ThisGuy]

He popped like a molotov.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Soon:

Gianforte: "That's not me, that audio tape is fake news created by the deep state."


Gianforte wins the election.

He's also sexually assaulting a woman as he says all this.

 

[KernelPanic]

Made the mistake of reading the comments on that YouTube link.

 

[The Adder]

"Vote Rob Quist: Because do we really need two Special Elections in a row?"

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Still probably going to win.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Snes his ass to jail for assault. Should be disqualified as a public official.

I think is more like Nintendo Switch.

 

[chekhonte]

Snes his ass to jail for assault. Should be disqualified as a public official.

You know you're into games when send gets auto corrected to Snes.

 

[Netherscourge]

Is hulking out on someone for gently urging you to answer a question against the law?

It's called aggravated assault.

http://www.criminaldefenselawyer.co...minal-offense/montana-aggravated-assault-laws

Penalties for Aggravated Assault

Aggravated assault, a felony in Montana, is punishable by a term in the state prison of up to 20 years, a fine of up to $50,000, or both. The sentencing judge may not sentence an offender to pay a fine unless the offender is or will be able to pay the fine.
(Mont. Code Ann. §§ 45-5-202, 46-18-231.)

Up to a judge to determine if it's misdemeanor assault or felony assault.

But this clown DID break the law and will probably be booked on assault charges.

 

[Mully]

The right wing's argument will be that the media has been attacking Gianforte with questions for weeks. They'll say Gianforte was right to attack a reporter.

 

[jellies_two]

A tech millionaire ?
So this is like Russ Hanneman losing his shit?

Do we need a special arm of the police for enforcing the law among very rich people because it feels like they think they can get away with anything.

 

[Stinkles]

Dude is a creationist but his position on retirement is um, unusual...

Aging and Retirement
Gianforte has outlined his position on retirement by using the Biblical example of Noah. He said, "There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today. Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach... The example I think of is Noah. How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn't like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn't hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical."[35][36][37][38]

Sorry to ask but what is Gia's Russian connections? Montana race hasn't been a focus on my news watching radar.

 

[TheOMan]

Until he gets convicted of assault, dead to rights.

Even Donald Trump isn't this stupid.

That's a pretty big assumption.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Asshole should stop. He comes like a legit psychopath.

 

[old manatee]

God damn we are really into some 1700's shit now. We should just bring back pistol duels. At least make it fair.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Typical GAF, Mayor Mike Haggar beats people with a fucking PIPE and it's all good.

One little shove by a Republican and it's the end of the fucking world.

 

[Anoregon]

Dude is a creationist but his position on retirement is um, unusual...

that is quite an opinion to have in 2017.

 

[npm0925]

Another republican pigfucker.

 

[Joeku]

Dude is a creationist but his position on retirement is um, unusual...

The fuck? What kind of cognitive dissonance does it take to believe Noah worked at 600 but that retirement isn't good?

 

[LifEndz]

Just heard the audio. I hope the reporter also files civil suit against this scumbag.
