Montana's special election is tomorrow — and the GOP candidate just 'body slammed' a journalist

Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesA reporter said he was physically assaulted by Republican Congressional candidate Greg Gianforte on Wednesday, a day before Montana residents could vote him into office. "Greg Gianforte just body slammed me and broke my glasses," tweeted Ben Jacobs, a reporter with The Guardian, who was covering a Gianforte campaign event. In an audio recording of the incident, captured by the reporter, Jacobs can be heard pressing Gianforte to comment on a Congressional Budget Office evaluation of the American Health Care Act released earlier Wednesday. Then, a loud crash. "I'm sick and tired of you guys," Gianforte can be heard shouting.
