Tweet - "President Trump was clearly ribbing Congressman Gianforte for last year's incident, which he apologized for last year. It's obvious he was not encouraging his supporters to engage in attacks, and not one person harassed the numerous media reporters who were present."

"President Trump was clearly ribbing Congressman Gianforte for last year's incident, which he apologized for last year. It's obvious he was not encouraging his supporters to engage in attacks, and not one person harassed the numerous media reporters who were present."

"It's irresponsible for the mainstream media to create a false equivalence between this and Democrat leaders in Washington regularly using threatening rhetoric to call on their supporters to harass Trump officials, supporters, and Republican members and candidates."

"I find it disingenuous when some in the media refuse to report or call out actual violence by leftist protestors, yet they'll whip into a hysterical frenzy over what clearly was a joke at a rally. This is about which party has the best ideas, not which party has the most bullies."
