Montana congressional candidate.

Body slams a reporter for not lowering his recorder. Is this the state of politics in the US?

Audio in the link.

That's just a guy losing his shit. I don't think he can be diagnosed as a psychopath over that. Definitely an asshole who shouldn't hold any office tho.

He'll win by 10 points. MANY "conservatives" will love that he kicked a "liberal" journalist ass. It may have been done purposely.

This would have never happened when Conrad Burns was around. Rampant curroption sure, but no battery. Montana politics always seemed to be "native" Montana vs recent transplants when I was there.

Yep.

Apparently, MT hasn't elected a (D) to the House since 1994, so that doesn't help either.

We'll see what happens tonight I suppose.

Agree wholeheartedly. Snarky, eager-to-be-victimized millennial reporters who have no never worked an honest day in their lives should get a taste of the real world. I dont agree with the R vs D angle, but reporters have become way too self righteous about a job anyone who is literate can do.

This is the political climate of the US...

Btw... Montana people are a different bunch. I'm sure Drunk Squirrel can attest to that.

What the fuck is wrong with you? I'm asking as a serious question.

I think you're talking way out of your element here.

Created by an elitist media that has decided working Americans are the enemy. They've spent 10 years calling normal middle class Americans racist, bigoted, useless, gun toting, Bible thumping, fat etc. and now they're shocked (shocked!) that those same people have developed a disdain for the media.

I have no sympathy for any reporter anymore...as far as I'm concerned they're the enemy of the public and should be treated as such.

A compulsive need to globalize every happening in their lives in a desperate attempt to appear unique and useful, coupled with a complete lack of any mental ability resembling compartmentalization? That would explain the "everything begets a referendum on everything" we see today, I think.
