Less than a week after she was allegedly assaulted by Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields has resigned from the conservative news site because she says her employer did not have her back in the days following the incident.
“Today I informed the management at Breitbart News of my immediate resignation,” Fields said in a statement to BuzzFeed early Monday. “I do not believe Breitbart News has adequately stood by me during the events of the past week and because of that I believe it is now best for us to part ways.”
Fields’ colleague, editor-at-large Ben Shapiro, also resigned in protest.
Breitbart, which was founded in 2007 by the late outspoken conservative Andrew Breitbart, has been accused of having a pro-Trump bias since the billionaire businessman launched his campaign.
“Andrew’s life mission has been betrayed,” Shapiro wrote. “Indeed, Breitbart News, under the chairmanship of Steve Bannon, has put a stake through the heart of Andrew’s legacy. In my opinion, Steve Bannon is a bully, and has sold out Andrew’s mission in order to back another bully, Donald Trump; he has shaped the company into Trump’s personal Pravda, to the extent that he abandoned and undercut his own reporter, Breitbart News’ Michelle Fields, in order to protect Trump’s bully campaign manager.“

Didn’t have her back perhaps because a new video shows no assault??
Sounds like they were allowed to resign is lieu of getting fired.
Don’t worry this won’t effect Cruzbots, they will either not watch the video, or just deny it.
She is a liar. She was caught in a smear and given the opportunity to resign or be fired.

“Michelle Fields has resigned from the conservative news site because she says her employer did not have her back in the days following the incident.”
More like video and photo evidence “trumped” her “feels”.
I guess millennials on this side of the aisle are just as entitled as the ones on the left.
Media Liar got caught in a lie and still lying. I’m shocked.
Rumor is they have been offered a job a Faux.
Sounds to me like a leftist infiltrator got outed too early. They’re slipping, one hopes.
Huff has no real profits to show....so they aren’t paying much. Course, maybe “barbie” and “ken” will start up their own site (Trump the Trump).
“Andrew’s life mission has been betrayed,” Shapiro wrote.
One thing is certain is that Andrew would have never behaved like that clown-show Shapiro.
Shapiro is a hyper and biased political extremist.
One this morning said it was “selectively edited”.
Yup, that is how much like Democrats they now act.
They will become this generation’s David Brock. (Started out conservative, became rabid moonbat leftist)
Cruz Boy Fan, Ben Shapiro, was so rabid to hurt Trump, that truth became irrelevant.
Sounds a bit to me like an attention whore, didn’t get enough reaction the first time around by “airing of grievance”.
Tough when the facts don’t support you in trying to add to that Trump “Violence” meme.
Cruz/Rubio supporter or closet Hill/Bern supporter?
Offer from CNN or MSNBC for this fair vixen?
Chuck Johnson says his inside sources at BB say they were going to be fired after Tuesday.
This after being told that Mr. Shapiro is THE conservative with the Creds, and anything he writes against trump is pure gospel, and needs must be truth, with a V.
That Mr. Shapiro?
LOFL!
Brietbart was fundraising for Cruz about a month ago! HARDLY in the tank for Trump!
It’s one lie after another with the mainstream and so called ‘conservative’ media!
Andrew would have been against this cabal buying our candidates and inciting violence to try and stop Trump as well.
“Anyone can run for President” is part of our culture. Let them. Let anyone do it. You don’t like Trump? Fine. Let the people who do, see him, gather in peace. Let him have the freedom to speak.
Freedom!
yup
