Chris Hayes is playing the audio of the confrontation, and Gianforte's handlers are saying the Guardian reporter shoved a phone in his fave, grabbed his wrist, and they fell.

(29,685 posts)I mean, sure, he followed up, but it sounded as if was based on something Gianforte had said previously.

(16,990 posts)There were WITNESSES that will attest to what really happened, plus audio. How can they be so stupid?

(836 posts)His right-wing authoritarian followers (a sizable portion of Montana) will see the whole episode as,"He kicked that little libtard, lyin' media, jew ass!" Which will, of course, all the more endear Gianforte to them.
If I am wrong, I will eat a worm.
