Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), who has said he has no intentions of missing his daughter’s wedding to be in Washington, D.C. to vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday, will borrow his friend’s private plane to get back to D.C. after the wedding if he’s needed, Daines’ spokesperson said in a tweet.
That friend? Fellow Montana Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte, the lawmaker widely known for his assault of a Guardian reporter on the eve of his election.

Misogynist all the way. Big family day. Sorry, honey, I’m out if here.
Optics of a GOPer known primarily for assaulting a Democrat ensuring the vote for a SCOTUS nominee known primarily for sexually assaulting women entirely coincidental.
ETA: Reporter, not Democratic politician. I’d bet he votes for Democrats, though.
Assultind a reporter.
Because of course members of Congress should have private planes in a country where more and more people are living closer to the poverty line.
For his return trip to Washington, I gladly and selflessly offer Sen. Daines the use of my 1976 Ford Pinto.
I’ll even supply the 8-tracks.
And a full tank of gas.
