Here’s how Donald Trump endorsed the GOP candidate for Montana’s at-large seat in a robocall released on Wednesday:
“You have to get to the polls tomorrow to vote for my friend, Republican Greg Gianforte, for Congress. He's a wonderful guy…”
Mike Pence also recorded a robocall and then some—campaigning with Gianforte in Montana.
“We need more allies in Congress to make America great again,” Pence said, “and we need Greg Gianforte.”
So now that Gianforte wrapped his hands around a reporter’s neck in a fit of rage for asking him a question and wound up with an assault charge, what are Trump and Pence saying? Nada.
Good god. Grow a pair, will ya? The guy assaulted someone without provocation other than feeling a bit testy, just because, ya know. So yeah, hit the guy. I mean, Trump’s probably jealous Gianforte beat him to such a deplorable act; but Pence, Mr. Family Values guy—really, have some self-respect, buddy.
If this overt display of spinelessness ticks you off, remember that you can register to vote in Montana right up until the last moment.
