House Republican Says Violence Is Appropriate When Reporter Deserves It As GOP Comes Unhinged

The Republican Party is showing its true face after Montana House special election candidate Greg Gianforte assaulted a reporter. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) said it is not appropriate for reporters to attack public officials unless the reporter deserved it.

The Hill reported:

Hunter was asked by reporters in the Capitol what he thought of Greg Gianforte, the GOP candidate for Montana’s House seat, allegedly body-slamming a reporter asking a question about the party’s healthcare bill the night before.

“It’s not appropriate behavior,” Hunter said, before adding, “Unless the reporter deserved it.”

It doesn’t matter what the profession is; people don’t deserve to be physically assaulted when doing their jobs. This is a basic principle that every civilized society should agree on. A member of Congress who casts a vote that someone dislikes does not deserve to be punched in the face as soon as they return to their district.

some in the GOP cult don't see violence, in protecting the big lies from the outside light, as wrong.
