MT-AL: Rob Quist (D) vs. Greg Gianforte (R) vs. Mark Wicks (L), May 25

[Chief Justice Keef]

Apparently Jacobs is in critical condition and he can't breathe.

OMG, fck Gianforte.

[Angrie]

Though I think it's a bit late for this to have a harder impact.

It will be on the news on the radio while people are driving to their polling locations to vote...

[MT Treasurer]

Oh wow, so this is actually big? I wonder what Jacobs said to him before it happened? Still, let's wait until we see the video.

[This account no longer in use.]

All he had to fcking do was not bodyslam a reporter. That's all he had to do; he almost certainly had the upper hand against Quist.

[Matty]

ok I take back my statement.

WTF happened?

[GlobeSoc]

This is one of the weirdest late surprises I've ever witnessed...

...What the ?

[ApatheticAustrian]

i am with MT Treasurer, still think there needs to be at least SOME kind of context...like pushing him and jacobs was standing in a bad way or SOMETHING.

according to alexis, GF was heard screaming.

[Matty]

This might be a silly question, but why are there national reporters IN montana to cover this, and why is a girlfriend of said reporter even there?

Does jacobs live in montana?

[DrScholl]

I'm a bit skeptical about this. What kind of candidate in a potentially close election assaults a reporter the day before the election?

The reporter is clearly a liar. No one in the party of God and Jesus Christ would ever do anything wrong /sarc

It happened.

Probably because of the big statewide special election tomorrow?

It's an election for a Federal office. Not Mayor.

Why must you make this political? You think rpeublicans want to body slam reporters?

this is the last rally before the election and GF's home county, this is going to be the media coverage for tomorrow's story.

I get that it is a national election, but man, do they really make reporters fly all over the place even to montana to cover them?

It shouldn't be political but it's kinda hard not to feel that way with how Trump treats the press

If that is true, how did the reporter tweet about it?

Sounds like fake news.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

THIS IS HOW YOU DEAL WITH FAKE NEWS

By assaulting people? How crass.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Saw Chris Hayes tweet about this, so expect it to get picked up by national news.
