Michelle Fields allegedly assaulted by Trump campaign manager [Police file charges]

[acptulsa]

Gingrich said Trump was an outsider because he wasn't part of the club and hadn't been initiated into any of the rites.

Gingrich as Unimpeachable Source now. Gingrich the Man who Never Lies.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

Just wondering, what happens to us mundanes if we attempt to put a hand on a Presidential candidate?

Secret service grabs your arm and bruises you.

It was meant to be. Your humor seemed to have left you.

A Breitbart reporter says she has filed charges against Donald Trump's campaign manager, alleging that he grabbed her and bruised her while she was attempting to ask a question.

Video evidence. Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski reaches forward to grab her arm:




Seems that Corey Lewandowski should have apologized instead of smearing Fields.

That's seriously all they had to do to keep this from being a thing. Now he'll have to resign or it will get worse.

I think they are going to have to come up with more footage. I don't see how anybody can tell what happened there.

Not the best angle, but you can see that he is reaching forward and down. His biggest mistake was admitting that he grabbed her to another Breitbart reporter (Boyle) right after it happened.

Did he mean himself or Team Trump security?

He said he didn't recognize her, so assuming he meant himself.

"Text messages between myself and Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s campaign manager, prove that an article in The Daily Beast that alleged Lewandowski admitted to me he grabbed Michelle Fields’ arm at a Trump press conference is entirely inaccurate and untrue."

Watched the video twice, didn't see anything.

I assume it was a joke along the lines that people just comment on the news without checking anything.

So that is not true either, on a story that if it was true is not even significant in the first place.

error.

If TF is right, she used to be a forum member:

So how much did they pay Michelle Fields? What is Trump actually going against when they can create such stories of fiction?

Context

Here’s MFP’s universal theory on such matters:

Remember all the scumbags and total $#@!heads from high school? The ones that were severely lacking in common sense and/or basic human decency?

They’re parents, politicians, and “journalists” now.

Consequently, the world is F’d, and there is no making it great again.

I haven't been following this insipid tripe, but everyone needs to bear in mind that Michelle Fields is Jaimie Weinstein's girl friend.
Ick.

This is not the first time she's claimed to have been abused at some political event, and each time it's happened she is rewarded with a lot of television coverage. http://www.black-and-right.com/2016/...ghtning-strike

AND I definitely remember a dailycaller story from one of the previous presidential elections where someone in a crowd made a harsh comment towards Fields - and the daillycaller did a story with a headline blaming crazy Ron Paul supporters for going after her.

I didn't see it. FOX is reporting that her employer, Breitbart, is not backing her story.

[misterx]

With all the cameras in that room if this actually happened we would've had video evidence by now. This reminds me of all the grainy bigfoot videos.

Yeah, far too much he said/she said and spin going on.

There is video evidence. He did grab her, stopping her forward momentum and went past her. On the other hand, she did not fall down, or even nearly fall down. It was very minor, although his grip on her arm was probably tight. It has been completely blown out of proportion by Washington Post’s Ben Terris (a neocon outlet), Fields and her neocon boyfriend Jamie Weinstein. It's a huge exaggeration.

And if Lewandowski had called her and apologized immediately (instead of going on a smear campaign against her) this would probably not be an issue.

Who remembers when a Rubio staffer was punching people? Yeah, not much media outrage on that one. Weinstein's Daily Caller called the victim "wimpy".

That's what I mean. There's no way he threw her down like they are claiming. He may have grabbed her arm, but I couldn't even see that in those videos. It's more likely he just pushed her arm back.

someone has an axe to grind

Here’s Why Several Journalists Got Caught in the Michelle Fields Media Hoax

[AuH20]

[SpiritOf1776_J4]

Just enough truth that maybe she could wiggle out of it if there is a slander suit - well he did touch me! and I didn't say he threw me to ground, the other reporter asked that. etc. (fyi - they had the other reporter ask it exactly for that reason).

People touch each other thousands of times a day in crowds like this. It's not a crime, you couldn't sue over it, and no one cares. It's part of not bumping into each other or falling down.

All I learned is Michelle Fields should be apologizing. And didn't feel brighter for the experience or richer for the time.

To be fair, WaPo did lie about Iraq WMDs.

2003: Washington Post ran 27 editorials in favor of Iraq invasion
