Ben Jacobs, a Guardian political reporter, was asking Greg Gianforte, a tech millionaire running for the seat vacated by Ryan Zinke, about the Republican healthcare plan when the candidate allegedly “body-slammed” the reporter.
“He took me to the ground,” Jacobs said by phone from the back of an ambulance. “This is the strangest thing that has ever happened to me in reporting on politics.”
Jacobs subsequently reported the incident to the police. Gianforte’s campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

I just heard the audio. Yikes.
The scary thing is that he can still win, because 70% of voters have already voted, since MT is a VBM state.

I kind of expected to be disappointed by the actual audio, but it sounds much worse than I ever anticipated. If this guy reacts like this to a question about the CBO score, he's going to end up killing a reporter on the Hill.

Should've handled the reporter in a more tolerant way. A bike lock to the head is acceptable to them.

If he gets to D.C. He can be turned loose on those Democrat wimps and Paul Ryan!!!

I am amused. I freely admit it. More douchey hipster reporters getting body slammed wouldn't be the worst thing to ever happen in the world.
I also enjoy the "listen to me get body slammed" tweet.
