The race to fill Montana's sole seat in the U.S. House of Representatives took a violent turn Wednesday, and a crew from the Fox News Channel, including myself, witnessed it firsthand.
As part of our preparation for a story about Thursday's special election to air on "Special Report with Bret Baier," we arranged interviews with the top two candidates, Republican Greg Gianforte and Democrat Rob Quist. On Wednesday, I joined field producer Faith Mangan and photographer Keith Railey in Bozeman for our scheduled interview with Gianforte, which was to take place at the Gianforte for Congress Bozeman Headquarters.

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 reporter. As Gianforte moved on top of Jacobs, he began yelling something to the effect of, "I'm sick and tired of this!"
~snip~
Scanlon (Gianforte's press sec) later issued a statement saying that Jacobs "entered the [campaign] office without permission, aggressively shoved a recorder in Greg's face, and began asking badgering questions.
Later, the statement added, "After asking Jacobs to lower the recorder, Jacobs declined. Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed in his face. Jacobs grabbed Greg's wrist, and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground. It's unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer BBQ."

this writer even embellished more than the limp wristed puke who got tossed. Leftist rats stick together.

Reach Out And Touch Someone.
If the POS forced his way into my office, blood would spill if he insisted. No quarter for filthy animals like him.
Eyewitness on Twitter says no bodyslam or anything like it happened.
Faux News in full meltdown mode

Be aware that nuclear detonation rate is much closer to the speed of light than chemical.
Press 1 for chemical, press 2 for nuclear...press anything else and you get the package...
Gianforte for leadership position!
My guess is that this will gain him votes
I’d vote for this GOP’er...
:^)
Good to see one fight back!!!
Howdy, pissant!
I suspect the reporter was a plant to get a reaction from Gianforte then they blow it up.
Gotta admit, good tactic.
Tough, aren’t you? Unfortunately, most voters expect our elected officials to have a better temperament, so after this is replayed thousands of times and discussed, I don’t think your hero will win.
Leave it to Republicans to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory over and over again. The stupid party.
Many politicians claim they are going to Washington to fight for their constituents, this one really means it.
So, are you a Boosh Republican?
A leftist Brit Guardian reporter in Montana? Hey that’s foreign collusion!
Slam - Duh Dems are going to lose this seat LoL.
At the end of a tough campaign I don’t think people who are going to vote Republican are going to turn and vote Democrat because of this.
I 100% DO NOT TRUST FOX NEWS!!!!
They should bring back that PO$ Meeegan Smelly. They deserve each other!!!!
Did same exact thing on 2016
Dems didn’t have it in the first place. Its Ryan Zinke’s seat.
