The judge would likely withhold adjudication. He would have to pay to replace the glasses.

This week, in an interview with the Billings Gazette editorial board, he offered an apology for his comments about the press and said he fully supports the First Amendment. He also said last week’s comments were just a joke.
While his apology is appreciated, Gianforte needs to take pains to set a better example of civility from now on. As a potential federal officeholder, he should embrace all of the Constitution’s amendments – not just the second one – and live by them. That means demonstrating his unequivocal support in both words and deeds, even when his audience might be egging him in a different direction.
...
And Backus wrote that toward the end of the candidate’s talk, a man in the audience said to Gianforte, “Our biggest enemy is the news media” and asked, “How can we rein in the news media?” The man followed up his question by turning to Backus, who was sitting next to him, and “raised his hands as if he would like to wring his neck.”
Gianforte smiled, pointed at the reporter and said this: “We have someone right here. It seems like there is more of us than there is of him. I don’t have a simple solution for you. I will say that doing town hall meetings and getting out and visiting with people is very important.”
This “joke” made at the reporter’s expense wasn’t funny at all. In fact, on its face, the statement demonstrated Gianforte’s agreement that news media are “the enemy.”
I don’t have a simple solution for you
