The timing does seem odd, however even if this was a set up, it required Giaforte to play his part and take the bait. He did, so he can only blame himself. Don;t get me wrong, I have no sympathy for that reporter, however Gioforte let people down. If he was going to kick the reporters ass, do it after the election.
I believe that reporter grabbed Giaforte's wrist and took him down to make it look like a fight.
The witnesses - from Fox News - disagree.

The Democrats will win “by ANY means necessary.”
As soon as I read this Bozeman Daily Chronicle article, I KNEW it was a set up.
Greg Giaforte (R), a Tech millionaire, was narrowly winning the race for the ONLY seat Montana has in the US House of Representatives.
No Democrat has occupied that seat in 20 years.
Then this altercation happened too late for the truth to be discovered and for Giaforte to recover.
All the newspapers pulled their support for Giaforte.
“The Gianforte campaign, gave the following account of the confrontation:
‘Tonight, as Greg was giving a separate interview in a private office, The Guardian’s Ben Jacobs entered the office without permission, aggressively shoved a recorder in Greg’s face, and began asking badgering questions. Jacobs was asked to leave. After asking Jacobs to lower the recorder, Jacobs declined,’ Scanlon said.
‘Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed in his face. Jacobs grabbed Greg’s wrist, and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground. It’s unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer BBQ.’
Democrat Rob Quist, a 69 yr old cowboy and first time politician is almost certain to take Montana’s sole seat in the US House because of this “fight.”

The Globalist Leftist MSM are reporting this differently, as is Fox News.
But Fox News no longer has any credibility to me since Murdoch’s sons have taken over.
This has been extensively reported on and Gianforte has been charged with misdemeanour assault by the police. The charge was based on interviews with Jacobs, Gianforte and the camera crew who were setting up in the room for an interview. You want to know who they work for? FOX NEWS. You want to know whose version they backed? Jacobs.
Gianforte, for whatever reason, snapped like a twig after being asked a fairly innocuous question about the CBO report on the AHCA.
There is an audio recording of Gianforte going mad.
Would you like a chance to reword your original post?
Fox News are split down the middle on Trump/republicans. It comes down to who the camera crew were, not the news network. If they were like Shepard Smith, for example, they'd skew anything to get at Trump. Not saying they were biased in their view of the situation, just that it's spurious to say that because it was FOX, that somehow makes it gospel.

HOW CONVENIENT: Montana ‘Assault’ Witness CHANGES STORY After Damage Done
Time to check DNC emails again !!!
The initial report that went viral about a Montana Republican candidate Greg Gianforte grabbing a reporter by the neck with both hands – is not true as the witness who reported it admits it never happened.
Lifezette reported: A reporter who was a firsthand witness to an incident late Wednesday involving Montana GOP candidate Greg Gianforte and a reporter for the Guardian now admits she may have misstated some details of her initial story.
There is, so far, no direct video of the incident; only audio has been produced publicly. Among the small handful of eyewitnesses was Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna.
Acuna wrote a report published on Fox News that detailed what happened as Jacobs aggressively questioned Gianforte. Details from Acuna’s report quickly went viral online, but she said Thursday during an interview on “The Laura Ingraham Show” that she misstated the neck grab.
“One of you guys said last night that he put his hands around his neck,” Ingraham said. “Which, as somebody who’s done a lot of taekwondo and self-defense, to me that seemed, that might not be exactly right.”
“You know, and I’m the one who said that,” Acuna replied, “I saw both his hands go up, not around his neck in a strangling type of way, but more just on each side of his neck, just grabbed him and I guess it could’ve been on his clothes, I don’t know.”
Talk about interfering with an election, publishing an inaccurate report that severely damages a candidate with only hours left before voting closes and then changing your story, awful!

The account they gave is in direct conflict with the eyewitness testimony of the Fox news crew that were there. He committed assault. He's got a known hot temper and it came out at a critically inconvenient time.
He screwed up.
Let's not blame the other team for an error their own QB made. He simply fumbled the ball.
I do NOT believe the Fox News crew.

Thanks for posting that fuller report. I trust my gut on this. It was staged to take Gianforte down -- both physically & politically.

No. Have to stop you right there. Reread what she said. That's not a major change, that's a minor change. She's not 'unsure'. She simply changed a minor aspect of what she saw.

Look, at this point it is a matter of law enforcement. What either of us believe doesn't really matter.
I could be complaining because the Sheriff is a supporter of Giaforte and contributed to his campaign! You KNOW he's not going to railroad him.
Why don't you believe the Fox News crew? Curious...
