Eta: Gianforte is the R running for Montana's vacant Congressional seat. I hope this is either extremely over blown (likely) or more fake news (also likely).

Cool. Makes me even happier I voted for him.

It is despicable and wrong....that there is no video of it happening... The d*ckbag probably had it coming.

I read the title as "...Greg gianforte body slammed himself"

I was like "that's a high level of crazy right there for a politician to do that"

Greg Richard Gianforte is an American engineer, businessman, and politician, also an amature wrestler

I bet it was more like "brushed by him, and the reporter's glasses fell off", instead of what the rest of the world calls a body slam....

$100 says the dipshit got in Gianforte's face, starting rattling off insulting-as-fuck questions, and got just what he wanted.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was planned. How many ballots have been cast? Do you really think people are going to change their vote over this? Nada.

A little too late to be an activist. Though they are trying to push it.

The Gianfortes have been nothing but great people every time I've been around them.

If Greg body slammed him, well then good body slam. I'd believe his word over some oitnof state agenda pusher everyday.

I did. Even better of a vote than when I voted for Trump. If I was a Democrat I would vote for him twice, and get my dead/invalid relatives to vote for him too.

Does that concern you?

I bet nearly all of us have Russian (and other foreign) investments of some sort in our 401k's

Furthermore I don't understand why you post here and not on a progressive leftist website.

Usually if a fight breaks out, there's a lot of commotion and other voices either of astonishment or calls to stop......

The last part of the audio is telling......first: no other voices or side commotion.

Then:
"Can I get your names?"
"getouttahere"
"He just body slammed me"
"getouttahere"

Daisy petal reporter trying to set the narrative with the "He just body slammed me" rhetoric.

Your point? Investments are investments.

I've got investments in Shell and BP, maybe even Gasprom. That's what index funds are for, you invest in a block of companies and your return is the average of those companies.

The largest Platinum mine in Montana (and North America) was until recently owned by Norilsk Nickle, so everyone who took stock options or a paycheck is a Putin lover?

"Gianforte’s wealth is estimated at between $65m and $315m"

No. I think he has a couple mil invested in index funds. A couple hundred thousand isn't a big investment in anything.
