Two Donald Trump backers who have a thing about bullying the media are joining forces at a GOP fundraiser in Montana. The prospect of the two of them together has a Montana newspaper threatening that if they try anything funny, they could be looking down the barrel of a rifle. Gianforte still ended up winning the seat vacated by Ryan Zinke, who became Trump’s interior secretary. News about Clarke joining Gianforte for the dinner, first reported by the Billings Gazette, had the Montana Standard newspaper going a bit ballistic. He told the police, according to transcripts released after the election: “The liberal media is trying to make me a story.”
