As Twitchy reported, word is that Republicans are planning to make the 2018 elections a referendum on the media, tapping into “public hatred of reporters” to win votes.
To be certain, some were less than sympathetic when Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs tweeted that he’d been body-slammed by then-candidate Greg Gianforte in Montana. All eyes turned to the special election there, with quite a few journalists unhappy to hear from voters that the incident hadn’t affected their votes.
At least in this particular instance, things seem to have been smoothed over. Greg Gianforte on Wednesday issued an apology to the Guardian’s Ben Jacobs, who accepted. Gianforte also contributed $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

So, the truth comes out and he’s a leftest phucktard
ass licking liberal?
Oh, please surprise me.
NEVER APOLOGIZE to the LEFT!
Bad move dude. You caved and the only thing you can expect is them doubling down on harassment and more bad press, certainly more than $50K worth.
Gee Wally, looks like a nuther Vagina monologue…

Gosh. Whenever this happens to me, the first thing I always do is calmly inform my body slammer that my glasses are broken.

2) Double down on stupidity & defeat.
3) Be bestest buddies with the GOPe.
Somebody please reveal pics of him at that nudist club.
He couldn’t even wait to get to the new office, before pulling on the pink hat and giving the yokels back home the middle-finger salute?
Well, at least everyone still remembers where they put the boxes with the leftover primary stuff. Might as well just unpack now, and get back to work.

Do you really think Mad Dirk from Alabakurk really hates The Golden Gunny? When the before match color interview gives him the opportunity to say what he’s gonna’ do to Gunny’s momma after the match?
Oh, there is hate. It’s just not for those in on the con.
“tapping into “public hatred of reporters” to win votes.”
boy are the rinos going to be surprised when the voters have other ideas.
this two party = two sides of the same coin politics has to end if we are to survive.
Dumbest mistake this guy’s ever made. Should have told the cry baby to cough up 50 grand or he’s gonna get it again.
