He IS a double-talking hypocrite and it was entirely appropriate to point that out.  There is but a hairs  breadth of difference between Gianforte who could not even control his temper in a room full of reporters,  strangling, knocking down and punching Jacobs while yelling "Get the hell out of here, " and Hodgkinson whose uncontrollable temper led to gun violence.  With a gun I his hand Gianforte would likely have killed his victim.  The difference is that Hodgkinson wound up dead and Gianforte got a slap on the wrist.
