Fox, Gianforte trade blows in feisty GOP gov primary debate
Republican gubernatorial candidates Tim Fox and Greg Gianforte took off the gloves in their only televised pre-primary debate Saturday, with Fox saying Gianforte is trying to “buy this election” and Gianforte calling Fox’s attacks “shameful.”
“Congressman, it’s clear that you were social-distancing long before the pandemic hit,” Fox said in his closing statement. “You’ve ducked debates and forums, refused interviews with the press, avoided open public meetings and tough questions and instead used your considerable wealth to buy this election.”
