I hope you're right. I see a worsening pattern...
We've seen the Right call things that were reported by the press that are true "fake news"
We've seen the Right duck their constituents and the press
We've seen the Right call for the press be arrest for an array of things
We've seen the Right have the press be arrested for asking questions
We've now seen the Right physically assault the press

In a statement, Mr. Gianforte’s spokesman offered a strikingly different version of events.
“After asking Jacobs to lower the recorder, Jacobs declined,” said Shane Scanlon, Mr. Gianforte’s spokesman. “Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed in his face. Jacobs grabbed Greg’s wrist and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground.”
Mr. Gianforte is not heard on the recording requesting that Mr. Jacobs lower the recorder.
