The entire mainstream media open fought against the Pushback Republican, while at the same time stretching an erroneous point that assaulting the idiot "reporter' was Trump's fault. m/r
BOZEMAN, Mont. — Republican
businessman Greg Gianforte won Montana’s sole House district in a
special election Thursday, keeping a seat in Republican hands despite
facing [misdemeanor] assault charges for allegedly attacking a reporter who’d asked
him about the GOP’s health-care bill.
In his victory speech, Gianforte admitted to the attack and apologized for it.
“I shouldn’t have treated that reporter that way,” he told supporters at his rally here.
The
victory, called by the Associated Press, offered some relief for
Republicans, who have struggled to sell their Obamacare overhaul, the
American Health Care Act. But it was a closer call than the party had
expected when it tapped the multimillionaire to run in a state President
Trump carried by 20 points — and when Democrats nominated folk singer
Rob Quist instead of an experienced politician. With 83 percent of the
vote counted, Gianforte led Quist 51 percent to 44 percent, according to
preliminary returns.
Some in the crowd laughed at the mention of the incident. “I made a mistake,” said Pianoforte.
“Not in our minds!” yelled a supporter.
