"Potus tonight applauded the assault on an American journalist who works for the Guardian"

[kpete]

Trump on Gianforte assaulting reporter Jacobs: "Never wrestle him. You understand that. Never. Any guy that can do a bodyslam, he's my kind of" -- crowd cheers -- "he's my guy. I shouldn't say this."

"I had heard that he bodyslammed a reporter. And he was way up...and I said...I said oh this is terrible he's gonna lose...then I said wait a minute, I know Montana pretty well, I think it might help him. And it did."

2. Goddamn piece of shit

3. And they talk and complain about the so called 'mob' that they call us? I think that they ...

have this backwards. An unruly, full of hate, republican mob of thugs. Our so called fellow 'Americans', land of the free, eh? Amazing how quickly they try to take away our freedoms but screech bloody murder if someone even remotely (in their minds only too) infringes on their hate speech and hate gatherings.

I'd like to see this coward rump come to a big city and truly see what a 'mob' is. No wonder he picks the most out of the way places to go. He knows he can't go anywhere, w/o protesters, w/o those who point out his failings, w/o those who won't be quiet any longer. No more of this gutter mouth and advocate of violence obviously.

5. Where are the Dems megaphone?

They should be up center and right front with this..

7. I agree. Perhaps when the hypocrisy gets to be too much, more will step up to the plate ...

and demand answers and an accounting. I know after the upcoming elections, we will certainly demand answers and an accounting by our legislators. Especially when armed w/ perhaps more of Mueller's indictments and arrests. Hopefully.

11. compared to what. they have no megaphone. republicans do - talk radio

every other major medium is relatively democratic, part of the free speech spectrum in that they have challenge and fact checking and opposing views.

not so with talk radio and the left continues the biggest mistake in history of ignoring it while it beats the crap out of progressives who stick out - and then the trolls come in to blame democratic reps for not sticking their necks out, to suppress the vote.

after letting team limbaugh beat up blasey ford (like anita hill) for 3 weeks and getting kavanauh on the supremes now they're back to making excuses for trump - on this and every other issue

4. Disgrace.

6. Assault and battery. For doing his job.

The reporter sustained some physical injuries, didn't he? It sounded pretty serious to me.
