Until we see video indicating otherwise, I will assume it was not intentional. Still, an unfortunate event, especially so close to the election.

Body slamming someone and breaking their glasses is totally an accident.

This is goddamn bizarre. What happened? What was Gianforte thinking?

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

Bob Etheridge in NC-02 2010.  OK, it was a week or two before, but still.

Considering we have eyewitness testimony of it from people who definitely are not on the left, yeah it happened.  Just saw a pic of Ben being taken to an ambulance on twitter.

Quist's shares on PredictIt boosted up 17 cents after this news broke. I'm pretty confident this'll have a negligible effect on election-day voters.

Regardless, Gianforte is a piece of s--t and I really hope he doesn't win tomorrow for several reasons, especially this.

You'd vote for a guy who attacked a reporter?

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

There needs to be audio/video so it can make it on local news, preferably in the next 15 minutes.

Most people have already voted/made up their minds though.

So if Gianforte were to win the race, but be indicted for this, what would happen?

It changed enough people's minds about Bob Etheridge, and his district wasn't even supposed to be competitive.

Sadly this is a little too late to put Quist over the top. You'd need a week for people to digest events like this.
