"""BREAKING: Lifelong Democrat Operative at The @Guardian Ben Jacobs Lies About Assault on GOP Candidate Greg Gianforte"""
A former minion for the Iowa Democratic Party now operating as a Guardian reporter, Ben Jacobs, assaulted Montana Republican House candidate Greg Gianforte on Wednesday. Jacobs has a history of opposing his political opponents’ freedom of speech, as GotNews reported in October.
Gianforte is competing against Democratic candidate Rob Quist for a House seat that opened up after President Donald J. Trump appointed Ryan Zinke to be secretary of the interior. The special election is Thursday.
A statement about Jacobs’ assault from Greg for Montana campaign spokesperson Shane Scanlon reads:

so i saw it first reported fox news was backing the Guardian reporter but now this article has this
Unfortunately for Jacobs, eyewitnesses to his unprovoked aggression are already calling him out.
@FoxNews Did NOT happen~I was there~there was a disagreement because the reporter was being extremely aggressive~there was NO body slam. NONE. Period

I cannot see how this would hurt a Republican.
You’re not serious????
Greg will win despite the corrupt media. Sheesh, Trump sure is accurate with his terms, corrupt is perfect for our media.
I’m sorry for my “not serious” comment...The way her fabrication was covered for days in the media, I could not believe someone would not recognize her name... My fault...
Kamakzi journalism....
Body slamming this punk ought to be worth several points
From that picture, I thought “pajama boy” had grown a beard....
I've been working in technology for over 30 years and didn't know that little trick.
Such a fine ass girl to be always with dweeby hipster bitch boys
Maybe she’s scared of real men
On GMA this AM it was the lede.
They made it sound like the poor widdle reporter was beaten to a frothing by the evil Republican.......................
Not True, she is engaged to someone and he’s a different snowflake reporter. Where did you read she was dating Jacobs?
Per wiki:
Fields is in a relationship with Jamie Weinstein, senior editor of The Daily Caller.[21] The two became engaged in late May 2016.
Every Republican, Independent, Conservative, etc. should get out and vote today, if they have not already voted early, in this “Special House Election” in Montana!!! The Democrat party needs to be totally, politically destroyed. These Democrats are the low life, scum and vermin of the American Republic!!! Vote for Greg Gianforte...today!!!
GO DONALD J. TRUMP!!! MAGA!!!
The guy looks like HIS asshole needs slammed.................
This might backfire on them....................
I watched Fox News just a couple of minutes ago, around 9:15am EST, and the Fox News reporter said she was a couple of feet away as Jacobs got body slammed. Those were her words. Since she had a camera crew with her it’s curious that there is only audio.
I don’t think this is the angle to take on this incident, there were multiple witnesses present. It happened.
Gianforte should say that it was a heat-of-the-moment thing while also pointing out that the punk was running his mouth and deserved it. That’s earn my respect as a voter in a heartbeat.
Good catch
The regular campaign ads run by the Dems are despicable. This crap comes as no surprise.
I’m sorry, but a—hole reporter or not, this hothead has just potentially lost a GOP seat we would have won. He’s an idiot, and especially stupid for doing it in front of witnesses.
