On Wednesday night, Montana Republican congressional candidate Steve Gianforte allegedly body-slammed The Guardian’s Ben Jacobs the night before the state’s special election. Jacobs went to a hospital to be checked out and had his glasses smashed, so what’s known about the incident isn’t pretty to say the least.
Importantly, any assault of anyone (reporter or non-reporter) isn’t okay. This should be common sense. That being said, the deranged reactions to the incident must be denounced too, most notably Washington Post so-called Republican Jennifer Rubin’s tirade on MSNBC’s All In.
