A reporter for The Guardian newspaper was "body slammed" to the floor Wednesday by Greg Gianforte, the Republican candidate in Thursday's special election for Montana's open U.S. House seat, the reporter and multiple witnesses said.
Jacobs told MSNBC's Chris Hayes that he was trying to ask Gianforte about the Congressional Budget Office's financial analysis of the republican health care plan when "the next thing I know, I'm being body-slammed."
"He's on top of me.
My glasses are broken," Jacobs said.
"It's the strangest thing that's happened in my entire life reporting."
Jacobs said he fell on his elbow and was waiting to be X-rayed.
