Montana Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte handily defeated Democrat Rob Quist on Thursday night even though he allegedly “body slammed” a liberal reporter on the eve of the election.
Gianforte is leading 50.2% to 43.9% with 68% reporting:
Here’s some the reactions on Twitter:
If Gianforte wins the Montana election, I'm running for office & kicking a CNN reporter in the nuts. #MAGA
