Everyone wants to do it and now someone finally has, that's right, bodyslam a Guardian reporter and win an election.
Montana Republican candidate, Greg Gianforte, finally snapped at Guardian journalist Ben Jacobs' aggressive questioning and bodyslammed the hack to the ground, allegedly punching and breaking her spectacles.
The move resonated with voters who had lost patience with the antics of the lying, corrupt, elite, mendacious, smug, condescending mainstream media.
When Gianforte apologized in his victory speech for attacking the aggressive reporter, saying that he "made a mistake," supporters shouted out, "Not in our minds!"
One commentator summed up the mood of the electorate, "With distrust and hatred of the lying media at all time highs, what Gianforte might have done might have gotten him more votes. Ben Jacobs, you are nothing but a pathetic, left wing hack and a hypocrite. Let UK Guardian pay for your new glasses."
Ben Jacobs is suing Greg Gianforte for assault. Greg Gianforte is enjoying his handy win in the Montana election.
Whether this is the start of an encouraging trend has yet to be seen.
Carry on,
