The Guardian reporter that was bodied slammed, wrote an article about Gianforte Ties to Russia



https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/28/greg-gianforte-republican-candidate-congress-russia-companies

Greg Gianforte, who is the GOP standard bearer in the upcoming special election in Montana, owns just under $250,000 in shares in two index funds that are invested in the Russian economy to match its overall performance.


According to a financial disclosure filed with the clerk of the House of Representatives, the Montana tech mogul owns almost $150,000 worth of shares in VanEck Vectors Russia ETF and $92,400 in the IShares MSCF Russia ETF fund. Both are indexed to the Russian equities market and have significant holdings in companies such as Gazprom and Rosneft that came under US sanctions in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of the Crimea.

The holdings, while substantial, make up only a small portion of Gianforte’s wealth. The congressional candidate, who made a fortune starting a software company which was later sold to Oracle, has assets estimated to be worth between $65m and $315m, according to his financial disclosure.


Probably why he became so unhinged.

This is THE reason for the rage. We saw trump & gang in the campaign, instigate abuse & violence against journalists & others. Learned from pooty.
They will continue to attack those who work for TRUTH.

This UK reporter.. I HOPE(!) inspires the US press to brave, relentless pursuit of TRUTH.

He cares about your well being. Just disregard his $300+ MILLION Net Worth.

A good chunk of the American people are MORONS, and that will never change. Thus, repub ASSHOLES like this, will continue winning.
