          There is as much evidence this was about this — https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/28/greg-gianforte-republican-candidate-congress-russia-companies … — as there is evidence of Gianforte's statement. Slow down.

          The audio makes clear: (1) The questioning was about the CBO score, and (2) he didn't appear to really even know who Ben was.
