[chekhonte]

Lol, the fuck?

if only there was some taped evidence that contradicted parts of this statement.

 

[Fat4all]

They probably did not realize this when this was written.

probably popped on CNN just after releasing the statement and going "aww fuuuuuck..."

 

[rjinaz]

Wasn't much of a body slam if the first words out of his mouth were about his glasses.

Shane Scanion is that you?

 

[Crocodile]

Thank God there is audio to rebuff that bullshit campaign statement

 

[ahoyhoy]

This will only increase his chances of winning and the only way he won't assume office again is if he's prosecuted.

 

[Euphoria14]

What an idiot.

Claimed he asked him to put the mic down, yet audio reveals none of the sort.

Liar liar pants on fire!

Supporters will love it. True American he is.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

they can't even keep the story straight in the paragraph spin; what a joke.

 

[BADMAN]

There is no way that story holds up against the audio. Good luck proving that.

 

[neshcom]

That's not even a good lie--he admits to trying to grab Jacobs first

 

[Plinko]

The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical.

Neither is physically assaulting someone when asked a question.

LOL at the statement by the campaign. Admission of guilt, and lying due to the audio. Amazing.

 

[Imperfected]

Wasn't much of a body slam if the first words out of his mouth were about his glasses.

Uhh, yeah, no. I've pulled guys out of half-exploded vehicles who were mumbling incoherently about having lost their glasses. You would be surprised at how much people enjoy seeing.

What a god damn joke.

 

[Dyle]

Fuck this guy, that statement is pathetic and clearly false. Fuck the GOP, I bet Ryan will come out and support him tomorrow morning in a last ditch attempt to save the seat.

 

[TheCochese]

GOP, in a nutshell

It's the absolute truth.




Not our fault.

There's a transcript.

It's made up.

There's audio.

It's fake.

We have video.

Actors.

We have witnesses.

Paid by Soros.

You said you did it.

Taken out of context.

 

[riotous]

Do they know they know he was caught on audio? Unbelievable. Straight up lies.

At this point blatantly lying to absolve yourself of responsibility for heinous acts is basically the cornerstone of the GOP and IMO their voters. "Hey, I'm a full of shit asshole too, got my vote!"

 

[Hubbl3]

What an idiot.

Claimed he asked him to put the mic down, yet audio reveals none of the sort.

Liar liar pants on fire!

I'm waiting for the 2nd statement to come out now saying they were hacked and liberal hackers wrote the 1st one

 

[Sobriquet]

I guess they wrote that before they knew there was audio? lmao

 

[Lord Frieza]

That's not even a good lie--he admits to trying to grab Jacobs first

Lol, my God, he does. Good Lord.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Put this mother fucker behind bars.

Not like there is ever any justification for such actions ever, but it's worth noting that this was totally unprovoked.

His follow-up was (paraphrasing), "There's not going to be time later. I'm just curious if--" No way the right could spin that as aggressively antagonistic or anything of the sort.

I mean, they will. But still.

How dare the press hold a rich, powerful white man accountable? How dare they?

 

[Brandon F]

Holy shit, the mere mention of healthcare suddenly triggered the Hulk.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Republican Candidate shuts down snowflake libtard cuck, wins election.

 

[wenis]

Specified "liberal journalist," so clearly he just had it coming

That's all it'll take for some people to write the incident off and vote for him still.

Librel deserved it

 

[Woo-Fu]

You are a monster.

I wasn't condoning it, might want to unwad your panties.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Holy shit, how is this guy even up for election? He has some fucking kooky views.

Look up his remarks on retirement: it's a bad idea because Noah -- yes, the religious one -- made the Ark at age 600.

I can absolutely see someone that fucking stupid be the type of idiot to do this. Fuck this dude.

he realizes numbers in the old testament are symbolic, right? Or does he actually think moses and his people got lost in the desert for 40 years.

 

[ThisGuy]

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.

Lol

 

[water_wendi]

They probably did not realize this when this was written.

Thats my hope lol

JUST DON'T ASK ABOUT THE CBO SCORE, OK?

 

[RPGCrazied]

What a tool. How stupid do you have to be to do this before your election the next day?

 

[Piano]

Here's a link if you want to make a last minute donation to his opponent:

https://robquist.org/

Maybe we should add that to the OP?

 

[Future]

He will now win in a landslide. He just ignited the base in proving that he is willing to do what it takes to purge the earth of liberal scum and fake news. Who hasn't wanted to slap a liberal that spreads lies and arrogantly uses "facts" to proclaim superiority.

Unfortunately, that's the world we live in right now. Someone is posting the above right now in a different forum, believing every word

 

[Fat4all]

I wasn't condoning it, might want to unwad your panties.

classy shit, bro

On Brietbart tomorrow

 

[PaulExcellent]

Wasn't much of a body slam if the first words out of his mouth were about his glasses.

Sounds like you're someone doesn't use glasses.

 

[Strimei]

Damn that audio, guy just snaps and takes him down it sounds like. Jesus.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Holy shit.

You couldn't make a better "body slamming a guy through a wooden table" sound effect IF YOU TRIED.

I'm imagining it went down like this:

[Lord Frieza]

Fuck this guy, that statement is pathetic and clearly false. Fuck the GOP, I bet Ryan will come out and support him tomorrow morning in a last ditch attempt to save the seat.

Ryan already came down to stump for him. Pence and Cruz did, too

 

[Woo-Fu]

Shane Scanion is that you?

I didn't condone the act, unwad thy panties. I'm not republican, btw. I'm not a supporter of this politician. Just saying, Ben gets bodyslammed and then bounces right up complaining about his broken glasses and repeating the phrase multiple times to make sure he has it on audio.

Sounds like you're someone doesn't use glasses.

Sounds like you're someone who hasn't been bodyslammed.

classy shit, bro

Ad hominem, pretty classy yourself, "bro".

 

[HotHamBoy]

A lot of people interpret the bible completely literally.

You were minimizing it. It's disgusting.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Gianforte's statement:

https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/867538098359545858

Betting they felt so smug about themselves writing that until they turned on the TV and saw that there was audio.

I wasn't condoning it, might want to unwad your liberal panties.

Is this really the hill you want to die on, bruh?

Also LMFAO at the Ninja Edit. Mods can see all past edits, just an FYI...

 

[~Kinggi~]

I didn't condone the action, unwad thy liberal panties.

oh taking the 'snowflake liberal!' stance eh? Get fucked.

 

[Pyroclastic]

in a year of laughable campaign statements that's probably number one lmao

 

[GiantBombGamer]

Heard he asked him if he was one of the villains in Far Cry 5.

 

[ZeoVGM]

WOW.

That statement is Earth-2 shit.

 

[ThisGuy]

Not obvious if youre not familiar with the character. I googled and edited though. Was blown away this wasn't on the news initially.

 

[Sobriquet]

he realizes numbers in the old testament are symbolic, right? Or does he actually think moses and his people got lost in the desert for 40 years.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he thinks
