Greta: ‘Hard Sell’ for 16 Conservatives Calling for Lewandowski’s Firing to Say They Can Be ‘Fair’
Breitbart ^ | April 01, 2016 | JEFF POOR

Posted on 04/01/2016 8:15:17 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Transcript as follows:

Let’s all go Off-The-Record. This has gotten way out of hand. A media scrum around a presidential candidate Donald Trump with routine pushing, and shoving ended with an allegation of a crime. That’s a crime. Now, whatever happened in the scrum, and I don’t think the video or eyewitness statement is convincing, this incident never should have ended up as a crime. It should have ended with an apology. I’m talking about grab gate or pinch gate, whatever you want to call it. Reporter Michelle Fields and the scrum around Donald Trump trying to get a sound bite from him was grabbed, pinched, resulting in bruising.

She said Trump’s Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski did it intentionally. Yes, of course, grabbing someone accidently or even intentionally is not so nice. But is this one a crime? Plus, don’t forget court docket are already so overcrowded and now it has been blown up even more, 16 women in the media, some reporters, some analysts, signing a letter calling on Trump to fire Lewandowski.

Two things. One, Lewandowski hasn’t even had a trial and they’re calling for his head. Yes, they have tried and convicted him. And second, each of these women has now shot herself in the foot. How can any one of them continue to cover the presidential race by not waiting for the DA’s decision to trial the case or not, or wait for a jury verdict? But instead, coming out swinging, taking sides in such a public way? It may be a hard sell for each of these women now covering this election to say she is fair. And that’s my Off-The-Record comment tonight.

True. The reporter chick should have apologized immediately.

Got to give Greta props. Even thought she leans left she always calls these legal issues as she sees them and not through a partisan prism. You go girl!

Clearly, due process is a foreign concept to the Salem Witches.

I plan to ignore them, and their syndicate, going forward.

Absolutely. Fields was inside the Secret Service protectee bubble. The same folks screaming “assault” now would be blaming Trump for the “violent atmosphere” if she had shot him.

You're right. Michelle should have apologized to the Trump people. Had she played it that way. She'd have a job and some sympathy.

She's a perpetual 15 minute girl.

And “Constitutional conservative” Harvard Law boy Rafael Cruz who has no problem being judge, jury and executioner in this case.

Anyone jumping on that bandwagon is just a political hack and not fair at all, Cruz included.

Imagine if Trump had stuck his finger in the face in anger, as Hillary did.

They make no big deal out of it simply because it's Hillary.

ANYTHING to gang up on Trump.

They FEAR HIM

This Chrissy Matthews mix-up has them orgasmic. I hope Trump just laughs it off.

The RINO’s and GOPe in the past would be cowering in fear already, apologizing like crazy. Trump can say “F off,... I misspoke and that’s all I have to say on the topic”)

Of course, she should have apologized....
...she was rude, pushy, no respect for Trump and a deaf ear to the USSS., who warned her twice!

Wish the RNC/GOP could go after Hillary on the Mishandling of Classified materials, probable cause, yea right. Is everyone else noticing the “two-party” system takes care of “it’s own” and self-preservation is the only thing that matters to the DNC and RNC. They collude in all they do. Hillary should be in prison, already.

Guilty until proven innocent?

It’s getting more and more difficult to see a glimer of daylight between republicans and democrats.

Any ‘conservative’ who subscribes to this kind of leftist mob thinking isn’t a conservative.

Remember the democrat mantra:

It’s not if it is true or not - it’s the seriousness of the accusation.

Just an FYI, everyone in that room had already been screened by the secret service.

The Secret service men weren’t concerned by a reporter doing what reporters do.

At the point the reporter chick cut between the two Secret Service agents who were reaching for her, she should have been taken down hard as an imminent threat.

On this one I'm thinkin it's blown way outta proportion on both sides. Just like a whole bunch of other stuff in this election cycle.
I keep thinkin we're being purposely distracted with this "Jerry Springer" political climate. The real issues barely get a mention.

I’m looking for Dana Loesch to be implicated as a member of Cruz’s harem. She’s clearly as much in love as Randy Mandy is, and just as stupid.

...16 women in the media, some reporters, some analysts, signing a letter calling on Trump to fire Lewandowski.

This is similar to the Duke Lacrosse case a few years back where a bunch of profs piled on signing a petition to have the students expelled. At that point there had been no trial, and we of course later learned the entire incident turned out to be a fabrication. Of course there was never an apology from those same profs. Scum.
