Breitbart journalists resign in protest after alleged assault by Trump campaign manager

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.“

I'm more surprised at Ben Shapiro's connection with this embroglio. He is a gifted writer and analyst. This is one crazy election cycle, exposing some unresolved idiosyncrasies in a lot of decent folks.

All you need to share with them is the fact that Mercer, who is in the tank for Cruz, bought the Breitbart site for some 11 million.

Fields must be lying.
Here is Lewandoswki passing her on her left, the other security guard on the right. She looks at him and smiles.
She is not wincing in pain

How the heck is she going to file criminal charges for simple battery?
The criminal charges to Lewandowski need to be tossed out

..She looks at him and smiles.

The lies being told about Trump and the campaign are mind boggling.

Just six weeks ago, I was a fan of Shapiro and Andrew Klavan. But both of them turned into anti-Trump hysterics, repeating all of Cruz’s lies.

From what I can tell, Steve Deace is still a Cruz slappy.

That’s funny. Now, according to Shapiro, Trump is a fascist serial adulterer who would put both Catholics and Jews into ovens. How could Trump change so much in just four years?

Does he own all of it or a part?
