After Representative-Elect Gianforte got tired of the Guardian\u2019s Ben Jacobs stuffing a mike in his face, and after telling him to leave, threw him to the floor. Granted, this is assault and Representative-elect Gianforte was apologetic, the Democrats took this and ran with it. A fat lot of good it did them. The Democrat Candidate, Rob Quist, lost by 24,000 votes out of about 270,000 cast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/nelson2.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14000\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/nelson2.gif?resize=300%2C217\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In his remarks after his crushing defeat of Rob Quist, Representative-Elect Gianforte said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201c<b>When you make a mistake, you have to own up to it.

They assumed that if they were able to win this election, they would have a \u201cMandate\u201d to continue with their assaults on America. I\u2019ve even seen a few Democrat propaganda organs, aka Major news outlets, predicting that the Democrats will generate a \u201cWave\u201d election similar to what happened to them in 2010, in the 2018 mid-terms.
