Three Montana newspapers have abruptly yanked their support for Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte over allegations he assaulted a reporter. Gianforte is facing a misdemeanor assault charge after he allegedly body slammed a reporter for the Guardian on Wednesday night. Billings Gazette: 'We simply cannot trust him'The editorial board of the Billings Gazette had some doubts but decided to support Gianforte just days before the election. "Democracy cannot exist without a free press, and both concepts are under attack" by Gianforte, the paper warned. CNN has reached to Gianforte's campaign for comment on the newspapers' latest comments about him.
