I was on my way to donate to the FReep-a-thon. Honest!
I doubt this will lose him any votes in Montana.
The media is all in with the Deep State. The treachery, lying, and deceit is gonna get worse as we get closer to November of next year.
Should get Gianforte a few more votes here in Montana.

Pajama Boy got body slammed!?
Awesome
That’ll push him over the top.
Yeah, this “reporter” is a frothing at the mouth partisan Democrat. We should thank him for helping elect Trump. LOL.
Greg should ask him if he wants to go another round.
Yep... barged into the guy’s office uninvited and out of turn.
Has done it before, evidently.
If this is true,I’d vote for Gianforte twice. What is a Left-wing British paper doing in Montana messing with the Republican’s campaign anyway? Sounds like a Democrat dirty trick ala Hillary-style.
Keep pushing your luck, Ben--and end up in a body cast.
I heard the audio. I hate little schmucky reporters too, but you can’t bodyslam them. Especially not the night before the election. If this was assault, even if he was “asking for it,” it is not ok. He may well be charged.
Here is what the witnesses are saying:
During that conversation, another man — who we now know is Ben Jacobs of The Guardian — walked into the room with a voice recorder, put it up to Gianforte’s face and began asking if him if he had a response to the newly released Congressional Budget Office report on the American Health Care Act. Gianforte told him he would get to him later. Jacobs persisted with his question. Gianforte told him to talk to his press guy, Shane Scanlon.
At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him. Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the man, as he moved on top the reporter and began yelling something to the effect of “I’m sick and tired of this!”
No evidence of intent...No lament!
Might have been actually interesting if he had body-slammed the media twerp and then split the twerp’s scrotum with a vicious kick...
I'm not touching you.

Eff these journalists and their in-your-face answer-my-questions attitude. Deserved what he got.
Good. You must have earned that.
