		</div><p>US House speaker Paul Ryan has called for the Republican candidate in Montana&#8217;s congressional election to apologise after allegedly attacking a reporter for The Guardian.</p>
<p>Mr Ryan said the incident involving Greg Gianforte and reporter Ben Jacobs was &#8220;wrong and should not happen&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Ryan would not say if Gianforte should be barred from joining the House Republican conference if he wins Thursday&#8217;s election.</p>
<p>He said: <i>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to let the people of Montana decide who they want as their representative.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>The chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, congressman Steve Stivers, also weighed in, saying: <i>&#8220;From what I know of Greg Gianforte, this was totally out of character, but we all make mistakes.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Gianforte was charged with misdemeanour assault after grabbing a reporter by the neck and throwing him to the ground.</p>
<p>If convicted, he would face a maximum fine of 500 US dollars or six months in jail.</p>
