So the Guardian reporter punched Gianforte's fist with his face?

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

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

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.
