But he might have been underselling it to avoid being a whiny liberal stereotype and describing it in the least arguable, simplest way possible to avoid it getting bogged down in details. Fox news has no reason to help him out here - they need to get ratings however they can. Gianforte isn't Trump and this ain't Russia(yet).

Memnaelar posted:WTF were they thinking dropping that statement with three eyewitnesses who they didn't have locked down? The whole incident started because a guy with a microphone annoyed their insane candidate. They had to know the audio hosed them, so my guess is they're just lying through their teeth so that they can say something. They can't proudly say that he did it, because that is committing a crime. They can't appologize, because that is a crime. But for electoral purposes they can't be silent either. So yeah, they kinda have to lie.

That's the real shocker IMO. a choke slam is one action, which is obviously terrible and an assault on that journalist, but to continue at it after he's on the ground shows clear intent beyond one poorly thought out action.

As I said before, David Frum (a defiant never Trumper) will probably be insufferable after Trump is gone, but he's an awesome follow right now. https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/867575067743363072

I caught the end of his radio show as I was leaving work. He mentioned then that he was taking vacation for memorial day. I mean, could be cover, could be a "vacation", could be both. We'll know Tuesday.

yeah, everyone knows whats going on with Fox. They are burning Gianforte now so that they can explain to their audience that the crazyman who committed a felony in front of 3 and a half witnesses the night before the election did not lose because of Trump or health care.
