Daines, others lied about election for personal gain Sen. Daines: In a recent fundraising text message you stated the election was stolen. A few weeks ago you said the election wasn’t settled. On Jan. 6 you were going to challenge the electoral results in Congress until the siege on the capitol apparently alarmed you into […]

Continue speaking out, demand accountability I agree with Sen. Tester that until those who enabled the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, including Sen. Daines and Congressman Rosendale, take responsibility for their words and actions we will not be able to heal the division in our country. This deep division puts us at […]

President, lawmakers deserve blame for siege A fundamental truth about human behavior is that words have consequences, especially when uttered by elected leaders and amplified by media outlets. The world saw this in real time as pro-Trump extremists overran the U.S. Capitol after attending the president’s vile and lie-filled speech. But, beyond the president’s inexcusable […]

Hawley and Cruz knew that their political objections to electoral certification was doomed. No Democratic congress would remove a duly elected Democratic president. But with an unfathomably deep cynicism they went forward […]

Rep. Rosendale, I am calling upon you to resign as the Montana Representative to The United States House of Representatives. On Jan. 3, 2021 you took the oath of office as a United States Representative to the United States Congress swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. Three days later, once […]

By BILL LOMBARDI Guest columnist Politicians, by nature, are oddsmakers, calculators, bettors, bookies. They bet on winning and losing all the time. Sen. Steve Daines bet on President Trump. But following the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Daines changed his wager. That day a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol, erected a gallows, killed a […]

Thank you for calling out Daines and Rosendale Thank you for your editorial calling Sen. Daines and Rep. Rosendale complicit in the coup attempt. They do need to resign. They have lied to us Montanans, encouraged the overthrow of our democracy. They do not represent us and perhaps need to be prosecuted for the crime […]
