I imagine it makes Republicans, in particular, uncomfortable.<br /><br />Gianforte clearly has anger-management and violence issues. If he does take a seat in the House, other representatives who sit near him might be wise to wear protective gear like, say, football players do. The cartoons draw themselves. I do wonder what happens if Gianforte is elected and then arrested and convicted for assault, though. Another special election?Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.com
