Democratic Sen. Jon Tester offered advice to his colleagues challenging President Trump for the White House – It’s okay to punch him in the face.
We’re assuming Tester was going with hyperbole here, but can you imagine if the President said this about any of his challengers in the upcoming 2020 election? He’d be pilloried for promoting violence on a 24/7 news cycle covering the comments.
Tester’s statement, however, has slipped under the radar.
Speaking with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday, the Montana congressman urged candidates to stay on topic and not take “the bait” when it comes to Trump’s supposed “racism.”
But, he added, you don’t run from the President, you stand and fight.
There you go – a US #Democrat Senator says to “GO #PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE!” https://t.co/8caLIRppnA

“I don’t think, even in states where Donald Trump won big, that it does you any good running away from Donald Trump,” Tester related. “I think you need to go back and punch him in the face. I mean, the truth is that this guy is bad for the country.”
No, no … that’s not the truth.
Is He Onto Something?
Tester does speak from some experience, though.
He won re-election in 2018, a nailbiter against Republican opponent Matt Rosendale, despite sustaining consistent political attacks by the President.

Trump called on Tester to resign after the latter made specious accusations against the President’s pick to run the Department of Veterans Affairs, Ronny Jackson.
“Allegations made by Senator Jon Tester against Admiral/Doctor Ron Jackson are proving false,” Trump said. “The Secret Service is unable to confirm (in fact they deny) any of the phony Democrat charges which have absolutely devastated the wonderful Jackson family. Tester should resign.”
He didn’t, and Jackson had to pull his name from consideration due to the distraction Tester had caused.
Beyond Punching
In August of 2018, Tester went above and beyond simply suggesting Trump needed a punch in the face when he teamed up with the rock band Pearl Jam for a fundraising concert.
The band issued a promotional poster featuring a bald eagle picking at the skeletal remains of the President in front of a burning White House.

Fantasies about a dead President. How progressive.
The President is consistently accused of promoting violence against his opponents. The most recent example is his current ongoing feud with the ‘Squad.’
When a Democrat does it, the media remains obediently silent.

Sen. Testicles, I mean Tester, Freudian slip there. He is playing with nitroglycerine and if he shakes it just a little too much, there’s gonna be a big bang. And it will be more than his testicles that end up missing. The USSS should arrest him for communicating a threat and calling on nutless members of Congress to commit violence on POTUS. This should not be taken lightly, ever! He really means it. And do not let him punk out of it and say he wasn’t serious. Actually, have him indicted, tried and sent to prison. That should scare the living sheet out of the rest of the nutless members of Congress.
Now if that isn’t INCITING VIOLENCE then I don’t know what is? He should definitely be fired and sent to jail for that comment!

If anyone punchs POTUS in the face jon tester should be arrested immediately and jailed without bond for inciting violence against the president.
This is okay for Dems to incite violence and call the President and his followers names for what they believe. If you are a Dem, everyone knows that you lie and you are a hypocrite and they have enough crazy followers to get elected. Ha,Ha,Ha

Who is Tester ? Never heard of this creep must be way down the totem pole. You have incited violence against our duly elected President. ” Punch him in the face ” doesn’t get it. You should go to prison for that awful remark. You are so stupid you don’t know to come in out of the rain.
Sure would like to see that fat slob try to do violence to me. They had best bring a bag for him!

Sounds like he should arrested by the Secret Service and charged.
Why should anyone assume that it was hyperbole? Today we all know that inspite of what they may avow to, Democrats are not very nice people. Example is Nancy Pelosi saying nasty things about our President, and from the House floor. Could well be that Tester was giving instructions to his party members. Every one who is not a Democrat/Lefty should have their guard up.

Smelling too many chemicals out there on the farm there Jon?? Why don’t you fall in some hog manure out there it would be better for you
Tester should be removed from office!
Tester should be removed from office!
The Secret Service should arrest Tester,, NOW
ROTFL! When Tester said “I don’t think…,” he was merely stating the obvious. It
certainly isn’t news to anyone with a functioning brain. Indeed, “hate Trump”
is all the Dems have in their entire arsenal of political firepower. So it’s no
wonder they’re angry.
TOOO FUNNNNY!

Tester needs a 3AM wake up call with flames .
Typical leftist reaction to anyone who doesn’t think the way they do…use foul language, make wild accusations, throw a temper tantrum and “punch ‘em in the face.”

My Tweet to Tester & President Trump:
@Sen_Tester_GSPP
If you did indeed call for people to assault the President of the United States, you should be placed in prison.
You would make Andrew Jackson proud, a total lout.
@POTUS, please have this man held accountable for his inciting violence.
Tester is nothing more than an incompetent fat slob hack.
Tester is nothing more than an incompetent fat slob hack.
He’s just another arrogant, proven liar, unhinged, violence-instigating, anti-America, low life democrat. The main detrimental instrument to the United States is the entire leftist democrat party.
Jon Tester was a Fat slob when he won the first ti.e.He is even fatter now.Thats twelve years of living off the tax payers. How else can a poor dirt farmer buy a million dollar house in DC. This guy is a joke and always has been.

Tester is a classic example of ignorance, arrogance and a lack of appreciation for the requirement of elected officials in the Constitutional Republic to be either the party in power or the loyal opposition, determined to reach reasonable compromises within the Constitution. I suspect he’s entirely incapable of it and shouldn’t even be in office.
