Jacobs: “Yeah, you just broke my glasses.”

Gianforte: “The last guy did the same damn thing.”

Jacobs: “You just body slammed me and broke my glasses."

Gianforte: “Get the hell out of here.”

Jacobs: “You’d like me to get the hell out of here, I’d also like to call the police. Can I get your guys’ names? He just body slammed me.”

Scanlon: "You’ve got to leave.”

In addition to Gianforte and Jacobs, four other people were in the room at the time of the incident, Gootkin said.

In a first-person account posted on its website, a Fox reporter says the three-person crew went to the Republican's campaign headquarters to interview him Wednesday.

Alicia Acuna wrote that they watched Gianforte in disbelief as he punched Jacobs after slamming him to the ground.

Jacobs had walked into the office and asked the candidate about the GOP's health care bill and persisted when Gianforte referred him to his spokesman.

After Jacobs left, Gianforte apologized to the Fox crew.
