Can't wait until he comes to D.C. and gets hounded by reporters here. (Please lose.)
He also said he hasn't heard the audio yet, which is obviously bullshit.
No no, he hasn't heard the entire thing yet, y'know, all 45 seconds.

(I assume) the reporter did not lay a finger on the other guy. How is this anything but assault? I don't think it's ever justified unless maybe it's someone entering your home without your permission.

So will this matter or is the guy still going to win?
Oh yeah.
Well, here's video of the press conference.

So it seems they interviewed Gianforte briefly at the scene but not since then, and they are not aware where he is currently.

It's fifty-fifty. Even if he does win, he may be kicked out of the house if he ends up getting charged and convicted with a felony, which would trigger another special election

Probably won't happen, but does the D automatically win if the R resigns? Or are there more candidates?
He wouldn't resign.

Not really too sure about the purpose behind having big Modern Warfare 2 style wave lines along with the audio. Cable news is weird sometimes.

Even if he gets away with no real repercussions legally, no way it can blow over. This shit is going to be all over the nightly news and the morning news. The real question is if it will make any real difference. It's sad, you know, not that long ago something like this would have tanked a candidate and he would have resigned in shame.
Yeah he is trying his best to get elected before getting in trouble.

It probably makes sense to wait until after the election so they don't hey accused of interfering. But hopefully they still go after him if he wins.

Sheriff isn't gonna arrest him for this, not gonna happen. He pushed me, I body slammed him, case close. GG.
Sheriff probably voting for him tomorrow.

Sheriff is a GOP in a deep red district, so odds are he's just a piece of shit honestly. I mean, you come across some good ones in those areas, at times, but the odds aren't in that favor unfortunately.

Previously unreported, but it appears Glenn Thrush came out to save Jacobs from Gianforte's vicious attacks.

CNN legal anaylst just asked "Is it illegal to body slam somebody?"

Just like every other assault case where the police don't take anyone into custody until the "investigation" is complete.

Get pushed, body slam someone. Didn't know that was the immediate response these days.
Shame he didn't have video, audio ain't gonna do shit for him.

We joke, but if nothing really happens to this guy legally, and he still wins after this, I definitely think we're going to see violence and aggression ramp up against reporters, especially in deep red districts. I really hate 'red' America.

Right? If this guy was black, he'd have been shot at the scene.

They will slap the guy with a misdemeanor after the election. Judging by that sheriff answers I guarantee that's all that happens.
They heard a low rumble, a metallic squink, and a galunk.
