Merged Gianforte charged with assault of journalist

[Stacko]

GOP candidate attacks reporter and has police called on him.

Greg Gianforte just body slammed me and broke my glasses​

There was a local TV crew there when Gianforte body slammed me. Audio is posting soon at @GuardianUS​

On scene now where Gianforte flags are posted outside a building. Looks like @Bencjacobs is in a ambulance getting checked out.​

Sounds like the Republican candidate for the Montana at-large seat may spend at least part of election day in jail.​

Given today's idiot brigade, he may have just locked in a win.

Surely this is a hoax of some sort.

Gianforte's campaign not commenting yet. Sheriff's office hasn't released any info yet either. BBQ at headquarters continuing #bdcnews #mtal​

So bizarre.

Why? BBQ is a standard dinner out west.

Wow. That's......something.

 

[Craig4]

Holy ****. Does this moron have any idea what he's in for if he wins? The Guardian reporter was way more polite than any of the journalists who cover Congress.

 

[TraneWreck]

Holy **** it was the CBO score.

HAHA!

Hahaha

...

HAHAHAA!

Oh my god, he's going to win, too...

Man, it's hard to upstage Donald on the crazy scale, but man...this is wild.

Chris Hayes interviews Ben Jacobs.

Just talked to a GOP strategist who basically endorsed this statement as a political strategy. Can't apologize now. Rally base is only move​

Committing assault and battery on journalists is now good political strategy for the GOP. Monsters.
