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

Violence. Family values, eh?

For some folks, 'family values' includes domestic violence.

Horrible. The abuse journalists are having to deal with by simply doing their jobs is outrageous. Sadly, doubt it sways election much.

Hope it doesn't.

You don't think assaulting a journalist should factor into a voter's decision?

Absolutely! It's a plus if candidate attacks #AccompliceMedia Thanks for asking.

2/2 ".... this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer BBQ.” http://www.wgmd.com/greg-gianforte-fox-news-team-witnesses-gop-house-candidate-039body-slam039-reporter/ …

Lol. Did you even read the article you linked to?

"To be clear, at no point did any of us who witnessed this assault see Jacobs show any form of physical aggression toward Gianforte"
