The confrontation started when Jacobs asked Gianforte for his position on the U.S. House health care vote.
Gianforte had previously told reporters he wouldnt support the House version of the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. He said hed wait to take a position until he had more information, including the Congressional Budget Office report, which was published Wednesday afternoon.
That same day Gianforte declined to support the bill, the New York Times posted audio of the candidate talking to Republican lobbyists, saying he was thankful his partys version of the bill had passed the House.
