Trump just celebrated the beating of a political reporter in unhinged Montana rally [View all]

In the same week that he refused to condemn the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for brutally torturing and dismembering a journalist while he was still alive before murdering him and smuggling his body away in small pieces, President Donald Trump openly celebrated the assault of an American journalist.

After the President of the United States spent a great deal of time utterly confusing and bewildering his Missoula, Montana rally audience by going on incoherent tangents about anything and everything under the sun (“I love these hangars. I love hangers. There’s nothing like a hangar!”), and openly promoted disgustingly racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, his attention turned to the state’s one House Representative, Republican Greg Gianforte.

Gianforte was the subject of a huge scandal last year after he body-slammed Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs just days before the election, breaking his glasses and sending him to the floor after Jacobs asked him some questions he didn’t like.
