‘That Is Wrong.’ Paul Ryan Says Greg Gianforte Should Apologize for Attack on Reporter – By Alana Abramson / May 25 2017
House Speaker Paul Ryan called Thursday for Montana congressional candidate Greg Gianforte to apologize after he was charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly assaulting a reporter.
“There’s never a call for physical altercations,” Ryan said during a televised news conference. “There is no time where a physical altercation should occur or just between human beings. That is wrong and should not have happened. Should the gentleman apologize? Yeah, I think he should apologize.”
Montana authorities charged Gianforte with a misdemeanor Wednesday — one day before Thursday’s special election to fill its sole at-large congressional seat, after he allegedly body-slammed Guardian US reporter Ben Jacobs. Jacobs had asked Gianforte about the new Congressional Budget Office report on the GOP health care bill.
The Guardian posted audio of the interaction that depicted Gianforte telling Jacobs, “Get the hell out of here! The last guy did the same thing. You with the Guardian?” Jacobs responds that he has been body slammed and his glasses have been broken, to which Gianforte says, “get the hell out of here.”
