President Trump joked about Republican Rep Greg Gianforte "body slamming" a Guardian reporter during an epic rally Thursday in Montana.

From Politico:

“Never wrestle him, you understand that?” Trump said of the Montana Republican, eliciting loud cheers during a political rally in Missoula, Mont. “Any guy who can do a body slam is my kind of guy.”

“I was in Rome with a lot of the leaders from other countries talking about all sorts of things and I heard about it, and we endorsed Greg very early, but I heard that he had body slammed a reporter,” Trump continued, speaking about the assault on Guardian journalist Ben Jacobs. “And he was way up, and he was up, and this was like the day of the election or just before, and I said, ‘Oh, this is terrible, he is going to lose the election, and then I said, ‘Well, wait a minute, I know Montana pretty well, I think it might help him. And it did.’”

WATCH THE FULL RALLY:

The Guardian, a British rag which advocates endlessly for the end of free speech in America, whined about the incident on Twitter:

These are the same people who demand every day our First Amendment be scrapped in the name of preventing microaggressions.
