The "new" face of the Republican Party

[untermensche]

This is a serious indictment of Republican voters.

Despite all the smoke screens pretending it isn't.

A large part of the nation is not maturing beyond adolescence.

Obama looks like a saintly founding father compared to the clowns in the Republican party.

Gianforte pays $50,000 to press group to settle assault of Guardian reporter | US news | The Guardian

Greg Gianforte, the Montana Republican who assaulted a Guardian journalist on the eve of his election to the US House of Representatives, has issued a full and unequivocal apology to the reporter and agreed to donate $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

The congressman-elect apologized to the reporter, Ben Jacobs, in a letter received late on Wednesday as part of an agreement that settles any potential civil claims.


“My physical response to your legitimate question was unprofessional, unacceptable, and unlawful,” Gianforte wrote. “As both a candidate for office and a public official, I should be held to a high standard in my interactions with the press and the public. My treatment of you did not meet that standard.”

This is an admission that his initial statement was complete bullshit.
