Out-of-State Republicans Dub Convicted Criminal Greg Gianforte as “Law and Order” Candidate, Despite Record of Lying to Police

Lt. Gov Mike Cooney has been endorsed by the largest law enforcement union in the state

Helena, MT – If voters are looking for a governor who supports law and order, convicted criminal Greg Gianforte simply doesn’t pass the test.

Greg Gianforte is the only candidate running for Governor of Montana who has a criminal record, and he’s got the mug shot to prove it.

After violently assaulting a reporter, Greg Gianforte lied to the police about it. Is that law and order?

Meanwhile, the largest law enforcement union in Montana has endorsed Lt. Gov. Mike Cooney for Governor. In fact, they even unanimously condemned Gianforte’s candidacy, a first for the union.

“Through his actions, Greg Gianforte has demonstrated that he lacks basic respect for our laws and law enforcement officers,” said MDP Deputy Communications Director Matt Fidel. “Montanans deserve a governor who will stand with our first responders, not lie to them.”
