This post was deleted for the following reason: Post removed due to framing. People found it dispiriting and spreading hopelessness, while also "punching down" on a minor. Reframing this around the son attempting to talk to his father the governor might go better. -- Brandon Blatcher



 
Claudia Conway is 16 years old. David Gianforte is a 32 year old adult. Attacking her for not being sufficiently "thoughtful" is pretty tacky. Gianforte's interview with the Montana Free Press is worth a read. I get thinking that what he's doing is too little, too late, but I think his reality reflects what a lot of LGBTQ people who have conservative families go through.

Gov Gianforte is known for body slamming a reporter. "Judge Rick West sentenced Gianforte to a 180-day deferred sentence, 40 hours of community service, 20 hours of anger management and a $300 fine along with a $85 court fee."
