Trump Cover-Up: The Manhandling of a Reporter Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski with reporters in Palm Beach, March 11, 2016.
by JOHN FUND March 11, 2016.
‘I have to do what I have to do” was Donald Trump’s justification during last night’s debate for why he used what he called a corrupt visa program to hire foreign workers at his properties. After the debate, Trump proved his point when he accused a reporter of fabricating a story that she had been grabbed and bruised by his campaign manager while trying to ask Trump a question.
That denial flies in the face of all the evidence. “This was, in my opinion, made up,” Trump told CNN. “Everybody said nothing happened. Perhaps she made the story up. I think that’s what happened.” Trump may have done what he had to do to protect Corey Lewandowski — his Red Bull–swigging Mini Me — but his statement flies in the face of all evidence. Ben Terris, a reporter at the Washington Post, wrote he witnessed Michelle Fields of Breitbart News approaching Trump after the debate.
He said Lewandowski “grabbed her arm and yanked her out of the way,” bruising her. An audiotape of a conversation between Terris and Fields that took place in real time confirms the incident. (There is video footage documenting the immediate before-and-after of the incident, though not Lewandowski grabbing Fields.) For more than 24 hours, Fields did not comment or publicly discuss the episode, but when accused of making it up she released a photo showing finger-shaped bruising on her arm.

National Review
Address the “substance” of the article.
Breitbart today said they were wrong, it was security who grabbed her.
Leave to NR to grasp on to any thin thread. If only they would have fought this hard against liberals....
There is no substance . People have viewed the video and it was all a big nothing made by a little Lying tool.
That said, Trump didn’t do anything, so who cares?
Let’s all watch this clip instead:
Marco Rubio rally where dude is taken out. Where’s the outrage?

Breitbart today said they were wrong, it was security who grabbed her.
Now now. The rabid anti-Trumpers have adopted the tactics of leftist pearl-clutchers, and this poor guy probably spent a good 4 hours clobbering together his hearsay. They can’t let all their hard work go to waste, so they’re just running with the lies. As usual.
Breitbaet already cleared the Trump campaign. Now they’re in emergency mode trying to figure out how to save face
It has now been established it was a security agent not Lewandowski. One more discredited smear
Very disappointed Fund was reduced to writing this.
Hope he apologizes.
The hysteria is amazing. You’d think they were trying to solve the Kennedy assassination.
The new video shows that it wasn’t the campaign manager.
“National Review”
Steelfish.
Et tu Fund?
These NR people are such desperados.
Even Breitbart is questioning the accuracy of who it was who attacked their reporter.
Jumping in too soon.

You know Breitbart has cleared Corey Lewandowski and yet you continue to LIE. You are a real piece of ——
Video or it didn’t happen.
