So I was there for this - still amhttps://twitter.com/bencjacobs/status/867517225820966912 …

Ben walked into a room where a local tv crew was set up for an interview with Gianforte
-
All of a sudden I heard a giant crash and saw Ben's feet fly in the air as he hit the floor
-
Heard very angry yelling (as did all the volunteers in the room) - sounded like Gianforte
-
I can't quite remember the order but the next few things were someone slamming the door, Gianforte's Spox walking into the room,
-
Ben walked out holding his broken glasses in his hand and said "he just bodyslammed me"
-
The aide came over and told him he had to leave
-
Ben left, Gianforte and his aide went into a room and closed the door
-
Stayed there for about ten minutes
-
Then they walked out and only the aide came back in
-

-
there are cops here too - and the fire fighters told me they were talking to someone inside, but I don't know who
-
And Gianforte's aides have been behind closed doors in and out since then
-
Gianforte is now in a car with aides driving away
-
He is leaving the event without speaking. I asked his aide what we going on and wouldn't answer
-
Gallatin County Sherriffs now taking witness statements
-
To be clear, this all went down in Bozeman, MT, at an event that was advised as a Campaign Meet and Greet at Greg for Montana HQ

Police will question all in proximity. Everyone sees/hears differently and it's law's job to investigate. It's not like she lied & said she

Saw the whole thing.
