No comment about the decision by the Republican sheriff who contributed to GG's campaign to charge him with a misdemeanor rather than a felony? The county attorney is supposedly reviewing the decision, but there's even a question about objectivity there - said attorney is another fundamentalist who goes to the same church as GG.

By the way, the "they're all rubes in Montana" argument reprised in a few of the comments here loses a bit of traction when you realize that early voting is legal and popular here, and 2/3 of the total vote count had already been cast when the Assault Criminal attacked the reporter. (GG is a young-Earth creationist who thinks dinos and humans coexisted, and he was born in San Diego, grew up in the Philly area, and spent a chunk of his business career in New Jersey - thus his nickname here of Jersey Gianforte - i.e., his bizarre and contemptible personality developed elsewhere.)

Well, those of us that live in Minnesota, the only state in the union that didn't vote for Reagan in 1984, has two of the most progressive senators in the country in Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, along with Keith Ellison in congress, a Democratic mayor in Mark Dayton and two liberal mayors representing Minneapolis and St. Paul, might take issue with you and your friends desire to lump us in with hicksville.
