Will MT’s Democratic leaders never grow up and behave like adults?

At the direction of Gov. Steve Bullock, party chair Jim Larson, and party executive director Nancy Keenan, Jason Pitt, the party’s communications director (propagandist) is at it again, lying about Republican Greg Gianforte.

In a press release blasted out this morning, Pitt said:

In response to New Jersey millionaire Greg Gianforte announcing his candidacy for Governor today on his website, Nancy Keenan, Executive Director of the Montana Democratic Party released the below statement:

Last year, Pitt periodically called Gianforte, a 20-year resident of Bozeman, a New Jersey billionaire (another example, and yet another). Earlier this month, Pitt demoted Gianforte to New Jersey multi-millionaire. Today’s press release maintains the lie about New Jersey, but demotes Gianforte to “millionaire.”

How long before the Dems demote Gianforte to middle class, and how long after that to homeless pauper?

Bullock, Larson, Keenan, and Pitt are committing political malpractice, and committing it with the provincial glee of schoolyard bullies taunting a classmate who wasn’t born in their sacred community. They’re clearly having fun doing this, but they’re making fools of themselves, embarrassing fellow Democrats, and tarnishing the party’s reputation. Will they never grow up and behave like adults?
