AWKWARD: Ben Jacobs tweet about wanting to punch a Conservative journo hasn't aged well

Well, this is awkward.

Left, right and center, straight news and opinion, journalists at CPAC have one thing in common, the overwhelming urge to punch Benji Backer

— Ben Jacobs (@Bencjacobs) March 8, 2014

In case you don’t recognize Mr. Jacobs, he is the journalist that newly elected Republican, Greg Gianforte, allegedly body slammed the night before the special election.

It was even recorded AND Gianforte has been charged with misdemeanor assault.

Granted, many on the right have not condoned Gianforte’s behavior and have called him out for it – that being said, this tweet from Jacobs speaks volumes.

This tweet didn't age well.
