Actually he did just after he won the election
Being a reporter does not mean you are afforded carte blanche. A reporter entering a private office without permission, interrupting what was taking place within the office and sticking a microphone in someone's face demanding answers, IS what that reported did. I'm surprised that only his glasses were allegedly broken.
Yeah, that's worthy of an attack, fer sure. That's very uncharacteristic behavior for reporters, never seen before.

It's not news that many reporters are aggressive and disrespectful and often uninvited to block people's walkway, harass people coming and going from their home and work place, take and publish photos without permission, and invade people's private space of their person.
You may think it "uncharacteristic", of reporters to be invasive, others don't.
Big deal. The Jack Wagon reporter deserved it. Sane people do not get in peoples face and antagonize them. Invading someone's personal space is justification for the person to defend themselves, in certain instances.

The second post should have been your last, then. But you've been pronouncing him guilty of assault for six pages. And Spokane ain't Montana.
I don't know why you've taken such a keen interest in me. Hopefully it won't become the same obsession you have with Crabtownboy. That's creepy.
- He is guilty.
- He apologized.
- The sheriff charged him.
- Fox news reported it.
- The reporter is giving the broken glasses to the Newseum
Interesting take on due process - start with the verdict and work down from there.
If you can find where he apologized for grabbing his neck and throwing him down, I'd like to see it.
It was reported on the news on tv and it was during his acceptance speech.

I see that he apologized for "his actions "?
OK? What's the difference?
"His actions" ? He's not guilty of assault until he has his day in court.
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — U.S. Rep.-elect Greg Gianforte of Montana will plead guilty to assaulting a reporter the day before being elected the state’s only congressman last month, a prosecutor said Friday.
