Who among us hasn't "mistakenly" manhandled a reporter, damaged his property, then lied about it while justifying political violence?


Statement from NRCC Chair @stevestivers: “From what I know of Greg Gianforte, this was totally out of character, but we all make mistakes.”

1. Out of character, my ass

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Dude I totally did that two days ago!

We all got a great laugh out of it, though!

3. My hands accidentally slipped around his neck

Uh-huh

4. Sure

I did it three times today already and it's not even coffee time yet!

5. Well, Not That You Know Of, Kpete!

But if you want to start those rumors again, go ahead! You can't prove nothin'!

6. Out of character. Uh huh.

From a "man" who has threatened reporters before.

8. And a guy who has ties to Russia.

9. I Read That Earlier

I think that may be overstated. According to the news reports linked in another post here, his holdings are between 250k and a million. The guy is a billionaire. And, his money is in index funds. That's a pretty small portion for a guy with somewhere between 1500 and 6000 times that amount.

Of course, i'm discounting hidden money, which is a possibility

7. Yeah let's all beat the shit out of people we don't agree with! What a great idea!

10. It was "totally out of character." I've never seen Greg do that
