PAUL RYAN SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE

But why is he still there.

I am a Trumpster and I think President has something up his sleeve?

Liberal tricksters baiting and baiting; need to keep them under camera surveillance at all times.

He was not being harassed in the legal sense of the word.

The man was arrested for assault. Anyone who thinks he should not have apologized is supporting alleged criminal behavior and should be ashamed. If this reporter had been your kid or you sibling ask yourself how you would feel after hearing the audio.

At one time this last-minute kerfluffle might have undone him.

But thanks to Democrats and their Early Voting scam, it’s getting harder and harder to pull-off an October Surprise.

I love it when a plan comes together and blows-up in their faces!

Misdemeanor assault

You can get that for pushing someone

And look how gracious this little crying prick is now

It’s war as usual

Better grow spine ma’am

Just saying

Same old crap

Beware this whole Public Lands movement. We were in Colorado this past weekend where they were celebrating their first annual Save the Public Lands day. It’s basically attacking everyone who wants to roll back the enormous amount of public lands seized by the Obama administration. I spent some time trying to figure out why he would do that and why the dems support it. It certainly made the developers happy since the land that they are gobbling up goes up in price. Any other thoughts?

I was forced to listen to Purlmutter. The moderator said he would take questions from the audience but then he spoke with the moderator and only took questions from him. One of them was what was being done about the oil and gas industry. He skirted that question like a pro. Of course he’s getting lots of money from them. Made me crazy.

Anyway, that’s the newest thing at least in the west - Public Lands. gag.

I agree. The journalists need to have a few loose teeth shoved in by real Americans. They are out of line ninety percent of the time.

I can’t imagine that there is no video with all the reporters in the room at the time. None has been shown, so I assume if there is then it does not show what the media wants it to show- so we will never see it.

Gianforte told the crowd. "I should not have responded the way I did and for that I am sorry."

He responded to something the demonicRAT operative did? Ah. This is new information. Apparently FAUX News reporter Alicia Acuna forgot to mention what precipitated the takedown.

She made it sound as if the 'RAT operative was helping a little old lady cross the street or something and Gianforte walked up to him out of the clear blue sky and went all Berkeley protestor on him.

This reporter would not have been my kid or sibling. They do not fall for the Democrat’s crap! I didn’t raise any weaklings.

He was harassed and had the human right to respond. Should not have apologized.

Jacobs, fake “reporter”, is a well-known Democrat activist in Montana, hired by the Leftist Guardian to set up Gianforte. This should be a warning to every GOP House member running for office next year. Expect to be set up and harassed everywhere you campaign and hire some expert campaign directors, not some cronies of the RNC.

Lather, rinse, repeat; the DemocRATs will have their fake "reporters" lined up and ready to go harass the GOP candidates in Kansas and Georgia, as the story above notes:

The last-minute controversy unnerved Republicans, who also faced close calls this year in the traditionally Republican congressional districts in Kansas and Georgia. A runoff election is scheduled for next month in Georgia between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel after Ossoff fell just short of winning outright.

Oh, and KS and GA candidates? Don't expect any support from RuPaul Ryan if you get harassed!

Different State’s have different laws. Where I live in New York State, pushing is harassment. What happened to this reporter would be misdemeanor assault. I do not believe assaulting a smaller, weaker person makes you a man. I, for one, have taken oaths to protect those types of people no matter how objectionable I may find them to be personally.

He should have said “I’m sorry we didn’t Seth Rich you.”
