UPDATE: There was a local TV crew present when Gianforte body slammed Ben Jacobs. There’s audio, and it’s sooo good:
Greg Gianforte is a gun nut running for congress out in Montana. Typically the congressional race in this flyover state gets very little attention, but this is a special election after President Trump tapped Rep. Ryan Zinke to be secretary of the interior. And perhaps Greg, who is also an amateur wrestler, was alarmed to see east-coast press show up at his Wednesday event. So alarmed, he allegedly body slammed a journalist:
Greg Gianforte just body slammed me and broke my glasses

Jacobs can be heard asking about the healthcare bill on the audio track. The conservatives are touchy about that one.
A colleague of Ben Jacobs witnessed the ultra-violent scene of an old white man allegedly going ballistic and deploying a body slam, which is a popular wrestling move. She shared her observations of the attack live on Twitter:
All of a sudden I heard a giant crash and saw Ben's feet fly in the air as he hit the floor

This aggression will not stand. Police are on the scene, you know what I mean? Taking statements:

Whatever happened, Gianforte got the hell out of dodge, abandoning his event entirely:

Greg Gianforte is facing off against Democratic populist Rob Quist, who also plays a banjo and writes nice songs about America. He’s a real good Montana boy. Whether or not Rob wins the special election is not materially important for the House, which will still be dominated by red-blooded Republitards, but it could give some energy to an otherwise dazed and confused Democratic party.
While this story is still developing, Greg’s wrestling moves may have done a solid favor his rivals on the left.

HaHa. Fuck that reporter. Welcome to the Heartland punk.
We are a civilized people, we are supposed to use our words. Hugs, not thugs. That being said, the savage only understands the fist. Perhaps Gianforte is a primitive savage. Which is fine. I am a savage. But they typically don’t make people like me into politicians.
Relax dude. If we had to deal with sniveling east coast libtard traps by (wild guess) runts pale and slimy. Possibly lose it and go John Wayne Americana too. Besides the rival is a freak fraud libtard deviant. Body slam for the red white and blue win. Possibly.
Well, I have a different take. See headline.
Literally LMAO
