Preliminary evidence says Jacobs instigated it by shoving a tape recorder in his face. However, it's still assault. Handled it poorly.

A guardian reporter was bodyslammed by a candidate in Montana
Oh. Interesting. Must have been buried by all the news about the UK bombing.
Yeah I didn't even know about it, gonna wait until the full story comes out to form an opinion

You seem to be the only person in this comment thread that has chosen to do so.
Well it was a republican so it fits their idea of reality so they eagerly accept it

Is there any actual video of the slam? Or is it just a he-said, she-said situation?
Audio recording, several eyewitnesses, and injuries consistent with the reporters story. The candidate is charged with misdemeanour assault.

It's currently a he-said, she-said situation. Audio doesn't really reveal what's going on. Both claim they were the victim.
Personally don't like journalists/paparazzi or politicians, so meh... But thanks for clarifying!
Now before someone throws autistic political mud at me, I'm not saying either is innocent or guilty. The audio doesn't make it clear 1/2
