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.

It bit his sister, no doubt. :-)
There’s a ton of cameras directly overhead at the moment it happened something will come out.
But like I said in another post. The only relevant question is whether it was reasonable to assume she was a possible threat at that moment. No one disputes the event was over and security was escorting Trump from the room. Fields made a very poor choice. It’s far from the first, we can hope it’s the last.
Well....looks like Breitbart sees what I thought I saw....since they have CHANGED their story now from "trump-presser-ben-terris-misidentified/ to "The Scrum: Video Shows Lewandowski Reaching in Michelle Fields’s Direction"
I see in the video tweeted by Mike Warren and posted on Breitbart that Field’s is blocked from following Trump, but I still don’t see that she was jerked back. Looked like she bobbled on her footing all by herself in the beginning of the video.
Trumpbots can not do that! They must stay focused on the task of marching over the approaching cliff, while trying desperately to drag us all over with them.
All you paid Trumpsters here on H1B Visas?

This knee-jerk tendency of the MSM, Fox particularly, to grasp at any possibility to dump on Trump has gotten to be beyond irritating into the deliberately targeting an individual, justified or not.
Last night, of course, the Fox blond bimbo jumped on the "media is being abused meme," clearly before the facts were known. Typical for the "me! me! it's all about me!" idiot.
If that weren't enough for Fox asses being asses a new face has joined their pantheon of the unprofessional... Judith Miller, a plain Jane almost invisible talking head up to now, has fulfilled her marching orders and ran with the story, properly indignant, outraged at the thoughtless and bully Trump --- and also wrong. Not destined to be a respected commentator, now. Just another reason to change channels when she comes on.
As for the increasing deliberate disruptions at Trump events, it has been increasingly obvious that "rent a thug" disruptors are being bussed in to all Trump events. Even with my failing eyesight, I have spotted the same *ssho*es at Trump events hundreds of miles apart. Either the MSM hires only handicapped observers or they are deliberately tolerating them for ratings.
One particularly obnoxious late teen or twenty-something in a red visor cap continually shouting into either a cell phone or a communication device of some kind, had to be on PCP or something equally nasty.
How could I, watching TV spot him immediately, yet the media observers and workers ignored his obviously deliberate disruptive purpose to be there?
Seriously?
John Fund has appeared to me for years to be a faggot in denial
Michelle Fields ever lovely has a habit of accusing men of being bad and her the girl being a victim of a man
And her very very anti Trump boyfriend.......Jamie Whinespleen
The establishment including National Review and Fox News and the Cruz campaign will stop at nothing in their aim to thwart Trump and deny his supporters ....nothing
I just watched jackass Cavuto with a Washington Examiner chick and this nerdy gay acting Red Alert PC conservative concern trolling over nationalist authoritarian Trump
Millenial conservatives are scary indoctrinated by political correctness
Nationalism is bad
Islam mostly good
Illegal Mexicans ditto
We lost that war with young brainwashed under 30s
Somebody get Trout Boy a stiff drink after he sees that pic
That shows the SS agent moving towards her as she was grabbed
And btw....barely I might add
This is bullshit and bullshit liars here are pimping it because in reality they would do anything to save Ted
It’s pitiful
Any little excuse and the whole Kill Trump machine from crybabies on Free Republic ...kneepads for Ted up to GOPE and Fox and NRO and Red State and so on start trying to amp it up
its literally an hysteria
No wonder Trump always says they are all liars
National Review BS! Mentally ill jackasses.
We will see what transpires I guess. But I still remain unconvinced.
I am very concerned with the mindset of the Millennials. I have three, and we can no longer speak about anything political. They were fine until around the time Obama appeared and now seem to be zombies just following the crowd. Makes me sad and sick.
Another National Review smear.
Crying Wolf.
