"""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:

Me too. Wouldn’t be surprised if it added 10 points to his margin of victory, as long as he’s not pussy enough to back down in the face of media pressure. Real-time instant test of fitness.

Ben Jacobs is the boyfriend of Michelle Fields

Michelle Fields is the reporter who falsely accused Trump aide Corey Lewandowski of shoving her to the ground in the attempt to get him fired and prosecuted.

There is an obvious pattern here.

Fields might have gotten away with her lies if video hadn’t shown up exposing her lies for what they were.

Like with Jacobs, Fields had another reporter backing up her story- even though it was fraudulent.

This time there is no video of the alleged assault. Yet. Funny how that could be the case in this time of ubiquitous cellphone cameras.

“Not True, she is engaged to someone and he’s a different snowflake reporter. Where did you read she was dating Jacobs?”

Looks like you’re right.

They’re just cut from the same cloth rather than dating.

The latest leftard “Pajama Boy” ought to be have been physically thrown out of the building on his a##. But the whole purported “body slam” thing turns out to be a fabrication. It appears that Jacobs is an agent provocateur.

This was a political hit, pure and simple.

Only in this case Ben Jacobs isn’t just a reporter. He’s a reporter for a foreign newspaper.

And by all accounts he initiated a violent confrontation with a candidate on the eve of an election. In Montana.

Reviewing his work history, he otherwise appears to “report” only on whatever MSM manufactured anti-Trump story of the day happens to be.

And now he just happens to show up on a completely unrelated beat in Montana, just in time to interfere with the election at the last minute.

While on the payroll of a foreign company.

I believe there’s a serious legal issue with his behavior.

If the obnoxious reporter aggressively shoved the mike into the candidate's face, that could well have constituted an assault. If it actually struck the candidate, that would be a "battery."

The Leftwing reporter might have a very good personal reason for not producing any video.

There is an incident in a novel, I wrote, which describes a similar media thug getting what he truly deserved, for viewing on the evening news. Reporters did not use to be "laws onto themselves."

I've been working in technology for over 30 years and didn't know that little trick.

I literally use that search method 30-100 times a day.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a “body slam” is where someone is picked up off of the ground, rotated into a horizontal position, and slammed into the ground.

That maneuver would most likely knock the wind out of you and prevent you from jumping up immediately and whining, “You just body slammed me and broke my glasses!”

I understand that many Montanans have voted already - but what about the ones who’ve yet to go to the polls today?

I wonder if it’d be possible to put together a quick radio ad and try to get it on as many stations as possible?

I was listening to some LA radio reporter this morning who said:

“you can’t attack a reporter who is disagreeing with you”

Apparently news reporting has become so degraded that this dimwit doesn’t consider that “disagreeing’ with someone you are interviewing isn’t reporting, it means that you are debating. Apparently Jacobs, like Stephanopoulos, is a Democrat party activist now spinning the news. Fewer and fewer are fooled anymore.

They are not only fooling fewer and fewer. The other side of the coin is that they are infuriating more & more with their arrogant & insufferable claim to a license to get in other people's faces. You have no right to force someone else to debate you.

Jacobs is lucky he only got his glasses broken.

That’s exactly what it is. Then spin it as the GOP/Trump are being rejected by the voters in “safe” districts. Another seat “flips” etc

It’s the Dirty Tricks, the Holier Than Thou Dimwitz threw against Nixon. All of this **** makes Watergate look like schoolyard shenanigans.

Come on America, WAKE UP. Throw these childish, dishonest traitors OUT of office and OUT of the media. They dont give a FF about you or the country. WAKE UP

I think Greg will win this election by at least 5 points. This incident with the liberal reporter might even help him by increasing the Republican turnout. As the truth about these dirty democrat tactics emerges, support for the democrat party will continue to erode across our nation.
