Republicans blast Montana candidate charged with assaulting reporter

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican lawmakers are criticizing their party’s congressional candidate in Montana after he was charged Wednesday with assaulting a reporter — one day before his special election for a House seat.

GOP lawmakers leaving their weekly policy meeting could be overheard discussing the Greg Gianforte assault with each other.
Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-N.C.) called Gianforte’s behavior “nonsense.”

“We’re a civil society,” he said. “People shouldn’t be acting like that.”

Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) said that whatever happened “sounds horrendous.”

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) also criticized Gianforte, but did not call on him to drop out.

6. They Have Nothing To Lose By Criticizing Gianforte For This Assault Especially If They.....

know that they have this election stolen and it's in the bag for Gianforte. This way they look critical and say 'bad Gianforte' and on the other hand if/when he gets elected - they say it's the will of the People of Montana.

8. And then they will warmly welcome...

...him if he wins.
