Vote Greg Gianforte Or He'll Chokeslam Your Ass!

A CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE IN
MONTANA HAS NOW BEEN CHARGED WITH MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT AFTER
HE GOT PHYSICAL WITH A REPORTER FROM THE GUARDIAN.
THIS IS GREG
GIANFORTE WHO IS RUNNING IN THE SPECIAL ELECTION IN MONTANA, AND
APPARENTLY, DURING A CAMPAIGN EVENT HE WAS APPROACHED BY BEN
JACOBS WHO IS A REPORTER AT THE GUARDIAN WHO SIMPLY WANTED TO
ASK A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICES
ANALYSIS OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT REPLACEMENT.
ASKING FOR THE SHOW AND JEAN FOR A HEADSET FOR SOME TIME,
BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO AVOID IT OBVIOUSLY, I WILL WAIT TO
GIVE YOU MY REACTION TO THE TRUMP HEALTH CARE BILL AND
TELL I GET THIS CBO SCORE AND HERE WE ARE, THE DAY BEFORE
THE ELECTION, THEY HAVE THE CBO SCORE SO BEN JACOBS
THOUGHT OKAY, WE HAVE THE SCORE.
NOW WE NEED TO REACTION.
JACOBS DOES WHAT A JOURNALIST IS SUPPOSED TO DO.
HE
GOES INTO HIS CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE FOR THE SPECIAL
ELECTION IN MONTANA ASKS HIM NOW THAT WE KNOW THIS ANALYSIS AND
HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST.
NOW THAT WE KNOW THE 23 MILLION
AMERICANS ARE EXPECTED TO BE UNINSURED UNDER TRUMPS
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT REPLACEMENT, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION SO HE WAS APPROACHED BY
THE GUARDIANS BEEN JACOBS WHO PUT A VOICE REPORTER TO HIS FACE
AND BEGAN ASKING IF HE HAD A RESPONSE TO THE NEWLY RELEASED
CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE REPORT ON THE AMERICAN
HEALTHCARE ACT, THE REPUBLICAN REPLACEMENT FOR THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT.
THIS IS REPORTING BY ALECIA ACUNA WHO IS FROM FOX
NEWS.
SHE WAS THERE COMPILING DATA FOR BRETT BAER SHOWED THAT.
THERE IS A WHOLE FOX NEWS CREW THERE ABOUT TO DO A PIECE.
THAT IS WHY THE CANDIDATE WAS IN ONE PLACE AND COULD BE
APPROACHED.
SO BEEN JACOBS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT SITUATION,
AGAIN, THE WAY JOURNALIST IS SUPPOSED TO DUCK.
I'M GIVING YOU THAT CONTEXT BEFORE I PLAY THE VIDEO, NOT THE
VIDEO, THE AUDIO OF WHAT HAPPENED.
I WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT HAPPENED PHYSICALLY BASED ON THE
ACCOUNTS OF THE FOX NEWS STAFF THAT WAS THERE AND WITNESSED
IT, BUT BEFORE THAT, LET'S TAKE A LISTEN AND WILL COME BACK TO.
I WAS IT THAT ABOUT THAT LATER.
THE SECOND BE TIME TO.
BECAUSE SHANE PLEASE.
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOU GUYS.
THE
LAST GUY DID THE SAME THING.
GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
GET
THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
THE LAST GUY DID THE SAME THING TO ARGUE WITH THE GUARDIAN?
YES AND YOU SPOKE MY GLASSES DUCK WITH YOUR LAST GUY DID
THE SAME DAMN THING.
YOU JUST BODY SLAMMED ME AND BROKE MY GLASSES DUCK.
GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
I'M GOING TO CALL THE POLICE.
CAN I GET YOU GUYS IS NAMES?
YOU HAVE TO LEAVE.
HE JUST BODY SLAMMED ME.
YOU'VE GOT A LEAVE DUCK.
LIMITS ON THE PLACE FOR YOU.
ALECIA ACUNA AGAIN FROM FOX NEWS
WROTE ABOUT THIS AND HERE'S WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY.
GIANFORTE TOLD
HIM HE WOULD GET BACK TO HIM LATER.
JACOBS PERSISTED WITH THE QUESTION.
HE TOLD THEM TO TALK TO HIS PRESS GUY, SHANE SCANLON.
AT
THAT POINT GIANFORTE GRABBED JACOBS BY THE NECK WITH BOTH
HANDS AND SLAMMED HIM INTO THE GROUND BEHIND HIM.
ACUNA AND
HER CREW 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.
AGAIN, HERE PEOPLE FROM FOX NEWS WHO WITNESSED WHAT HAPPENED,
AND THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY REINFORCING JACOBSí ACCOUNT
OF WHAT OCCURRED AND IT IS JUST STRAIGHT UP ASSAULT.
IT IS ASSAULT AND AS A RESULT, HE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH
MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT BUT THERE IS SOME DRAMA REGARDING THE
CHARGES WELL DONE GETS A NANOSECOND DUCK.
IT IS FUNNY, YOU JUST TOOK US THROUGH AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT
HAPPENED AND IT IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.
I WOULD'VE DONE THE
EXACT SAME THING, BUT IT'S LIKELY HAVE TO SAY LOOK, THE FOX
NEWS PERSON EVEN SAID IT WAS TRUE.
THE FACT IS THERE IS NO
REASON TO DISPUTE THE AUDIO WHICH SAYS IT IS TRUE.
GIANFORTE
SAID TALK TO MY PRESS GUY.
THERE WAS AN
INDISTINGUISHABLE AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN FINISHING THE NAME AND
THE BEGINNING OF VIOLENCE.
HE WENT TALK TO HIM AND THEN
GRABBED HIM AND CHOKED HIM.
MANY CONSERVATIVES, SOME, MORE
THAN ONE CONSERVATIVE THAT I READ ON TWITTER LAST NIGHT SAID
HEY, POLITICS ASIDE, I KNOW BEEN JACOBS.
IF BEEN JACOBS SAID
THIS HAPPENED, IT HAPPENED.
THERE LIKE HE IS A GOOD REPORTER
THAT WE KNOW EACH OTHER.
THERE IS NO DISPUTING WHAT HAPPENED
BUT WE STILL FEEL THE NEED TO DESCRIBE AND OBVIOUSLY, PART OF
OUR JOB IS TELLING WHAT HAPPENED, BUT IT IS LIKELY HAVE
TO GET PEOPLE PASS TO THIS MOMENT OF DISBELIEF THAT WE'RE
SEEING IN THE WORLD ON TWITTER WHICH IS HERE IS ANOTHER LIBERAL
REPORTER SORT OF INSTIGATING IT.
SOME OF IT IS EVEN IN THE FOX
NEWS DESCRIPTION, PUT THE RECORDER IN HIS FACE DAVID
AND PUT IN HIS FACE, IS A TAPE RECORDER.
YOU PUT INTO THE MOUTH OF THE SUBJECT ARE.
WHAT YOU MEAN, YOU TAKE THE TAPE RECORDER AND YOU PUT
IN THE CLOSET IN ANOTHER ROOM, THAT I GET THE AUDIO.
THIS IS ALMOST CERTAINLY WHAT HE DID IN HIS PERSISTENCE WAS
SAYING THERE WILL BE TIME FOR THAT BECAUSE TODAY IS THE LAST
DAY OF VOTING.
THERE IS NO TIME TO GET YOUR OPINION LATER.
THE
STORIES HAPPENING NOW.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST SINGLE DOMESTIC
ISSUE IN THIS ELECTION.
YOU SAID YOU WOULD REACT TO IT AFTER
THIS EVENT HAPPENED.
IT HAPPENS, IT IS NOW.
IT IS RIGHT
NOW, THIS IS YOUR REACTION.
BEN JACOBS DID NOTHING WRONG AND HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT.
I THINK IT IS INTERESTING THAT GIANFORTE
SAYING I'M TIRED OF THIS.
TIRED OF WHAT?
YOU HAVEN'T STARTED.
GREAT POINT.
IF YOU ARE ELECTED, IT IS GOING TO BE THIS TIMES 10.
YOU
ARE SHOWING THAT YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THIS POSITION.
IF THIS IS YOUR REACTION BEFORE DAY ONE, YOU CAN'T DO THIS.
YOU ARE NOT READY AND YOU DON'T ACTUALLY VALUE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
YOU DON'T VALUE FREEDOM OF PRESS OR RESPECT REPORTERS START
BACK THERE WAS AN INCIDENT PRIOR TO THIS WHERE SOMEONE IN AN
AUDIENCE DURING AN EVENT HAD SAID THAT THE MEDIA IS OUR
NUMBER ONE ENEMY.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT THEM?
THAT GUY WAS APPARENTLY SITTING NEXT TO A REPORTER AND, I KEEP
WANTING TO CALL HIM JEAN CARLO, GIANFORTE POINTED TO THE
REPORTER AND SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF WELL, THERE IS ONE
OF THEM TRYING TO MAKE A JOKE OR PASS IT OFF AS A JOKE, BUT THAT
YOU LOOK BACK AT THAT SITUATION AND YOU REALIZE NO, THAT
WASN'T REALLY A JOKE.
HE REALLY THINKS OF JOURNALISTS AS THE ENEMY AND GUESS WHAT?
YOU HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
YOU ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
RUNNING AND HIDING FROM REPORTERS AND THEN ASSAULTING
THEM IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TYPE OF QUESTIONING THAT THEY ARE
GIVING THEM IS UNACCEPTABLE.
WHERE ALL THE FREE-SPEECH PEOPLE?
WHERE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE I AM A CONSTITUTIONALIST
NIGHT CARE.
NO YOU DON'T, YOU CARE ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION WHENEVER IT IS
CONVENIENT FOR YOU BUT IF ANYONE USES THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS, IN THIS CASE TO DO THEIR JOB AND YOU DON'T LIKE THE
WAY THEY ARE DOING THEIR JOB AND APPARENTLY, IT IS OKAY TO
ASSAULT THEM.
I WILL SAY THAT IN DEFENSE OF A NUMBER OF CONSERVATIVES, THERE
WERE PLENTY, NOT PAUL RYAN I THOUGHT WAS WEAK TODAY SAYING
THE GUY SHOULD APOLOGIZE, BUT HE WAS SUPER TEPID ABOUT IT.
ELLIE
SONS WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CONSERVATIVES WHO I FOLLOW OR
GET RETWEETED BY PEOPLE I FOLLOW WERE LIKE, HEY MAN, YOU HAVE TO
GO TO JAIL.
THE REPORTER DID NOTHING WRONG TO.
HE IS UNLIKELY TO GO TO JAIL.
HE HAS BEEN CITED FOR
MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT AND SO THE LOCAL SHERIFF SAID THIS DOESN'T
REALLY FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY OF FELONY ASSAULT, BUT THEN WE
FIND OUT THAT THE SHERIFF HAS SOME TIES TO GIANFORTE.
THE
SHARE OF BRIAN GOODS CAN NOTED IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS THAT HE
HAD MADE A $250 CONTRIBUTION TO JEAN FOR THESE CAMPAIGN.
THIS
CONTRIBUTION IS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR INVESTIGATION, WHICH IS
NOW COMPLETE HE SAID.
I'M SURE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR
INVESTIGATION WHATSOEVER.
BY THE WAY, TWO MAJOR NEWSPAPERS.
AT THREE NOW.
THREE NOW HAVE DROPPED THEIR ENDORSEMENT OF GIANFORTE.
THE
TWO THAT HAD EARLIER DONE SO WORTHY MASUMI AND AND THE
BILLINGS GAZETTE, THEY ISSUED SKATING TO ENUNCIATION'S OF
GIANFORTE.
A THIRD PAPER DID TODAY.
UNFORTUNATELY, MOST VOTES HAVE ARTIE BEEN CAST SO HE'S
STILL VERY MELLOW WELL MAY BE ELECTED AND I THINK IT WOULD BE
GREAT IF MORE REPUBLICANS WOULD COME FORWARD AND ANNOUNCE THIS
BEHAVIOR BECAUSE AS MANY AS ON TWITTER HAVE SAID SOMETHING, NOT
ENOUGH HAD COME FORWARD AND SAID, AND HOW THIS IS
BECOME A PARTISAN ISSUE.
A FEW PARTY BODY SLIMMER REPORTER THAT IS JUST
UNIVERSALLY WRONG.
AND PUNCH THEM.
IF WE COMPARE THIS TO THE UNITED INCIDENT WHERE THERE WAS
SO MUCH OUTRAGE ABOUT AN ASSAULT BUT SOMEHOW NOW IT IS A
LIBERAL REPORTER AND THERE ARE QUESTIONS.
BY THE WAY, GIANFORTE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO THAT REPORTER WAS
SO HOW WOULD HE KNOW WHAT JACOBS POLITICAL LEANINGS ARE.
HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IT IS IDEOLOGY IS?
HE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS BECAUSE I GUESS I
QUESTION WAS TOO DIFFICULT TO.
LIBERAL OR NOT, HE WRITES FOR THE GUARDIAN BUT GIANFORTE
KNOWS THAT SOMEBODY PESTERING YOU ABOUT THE SCORE, THE CBO
SCORE OF THE NEW HEALTH CARE BILL IS EAGER TO POINT OUT THAT
THE HEALTHCARE BILL IS A DISASTER AND THAT IT WILL AFFECT
MONTANANS IN A VERY SPECIFIC WAY AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER
THOSE QUESTIONS BECAUSE HE HAS SIDESTEPPED IT FOR AS LONG AS HE
COULD.
NOTHING BEATS YOUR LINE ABOUT, I'M SICK AND TIRED OF
THIS.
YOU HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED.
ITíS LIKE A DRAFT PICK AT THE
NFL DROPPING LIKE I'M TIRED OF THIS TACKLING.
I CAN'T
TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS, I'M OUT.
IT'S REALLY GREAT.
LET'S MOVE ON TO REPUBLICANS AND THEIR RESPONSE TO WHAT
HAPPENED ARE.
VERY QUICK, LET ME JUST FINISH IT BY SAYING I WAS LISTENING
TO POTUS RADIO ON SIRIUS WHICH I LISTEN TO A LOT AND IT IS GOOD.
IT BRINGS, AND ESPECIALLY THE JOURNALISM SHOW, THE MEDIA ROOM.
NOT AS GOOD AS PROGRESS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
BUT
IF DURING THE DAY, BEFORE WE COME ON, YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO
JULIE MASONíS SHOW BUT IT'S A GREAT IDEA WHAT THE
ESTABLISHMENT SAYING - I DONíT SAY THAT
IN A DISPARAGING WAY BUT IT IS BECAUSE HERE IS WHAT EVERYONE
THERE EXPECTS: THAT GIANFORTE IS STILL GOING TO WIN AND THE FACT
THAT 75% OF THE VOTES WERE CAST BEFORE THIS, DEMOCRATS WILL NEED
A SIGNIFICANT TURN, THE THEORY AND NOBODY REALLY KNOWS IN
MONTANA, REALLY HARD TO TRACK BECAUSE YOU DON'T VOTE BY PARTY
PARTY IDEA THAT YOU JUST COME IN AND VOTE BUT THEY THINK THAT
JEAN FOUR-DAY, THE WAY TO BE HIM WILL BE WITH A SIGNIFICANT
TURNOUT ON ELECTION DAY WHICH I GUESS IS TODAY.
ALSO KEEP IN MIND THOUGH IF YOU ARE INCLINED TO VOTE FOR
SOMEONE LIKE HIM, HIS OPPONENT, ROB QUIST IS LIKE THE POLAR
OPPOSITE.
HE IS A HUGE BERNIE SUPPORTER, FOLK MUSIC PERFORMER
TYPE GUY.
HE HAS NPR WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM.
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I DON'T EVEN THINK GIANFORTE
PLAYS THE BANJO.
WHICH I THINK COULD REALLY SWING THIS THING.
ANYWAY, I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT QUIST,
I'M JUST SAYING IN A RACE WHERE HE IS AGAINST GIANFORTE, THEY
CANíT BE MORE DIFFERENT.
IF SOMEONE IS INCLINED TO VOTE
FOR GIANFORTE, I DON'T THINK THIS INCIDENT WOULD CONVINCE
THEM QUEST IS A BETTER OPTION.
