“Rush: Trump Has Problem With Manager Lewandowski”
RUSH: [T]his is not good, and this is gonna be a problem, and that is... Her name is Michelle Fields, and she is a Breitbart reporterette, and she was covering the Trump press conference on Tuesday night after the primaries that was held up in Jupiter here at the Trump golf course in the members clubhouse. And when it was over and Trump was making his way offstage, she was trying to get close enough to Trump to ask him a question.
And the next thing she knew, she was grabbed very tightly on her arm, so much so that she was bruised. She was nearly thrown to the floor and told to essentially to be quiet, no questions, get out of the way, Trump is leaving, what have you. And she claims that it was Trump’s campaign manager who did it, a guy named Corey Lewandowski. There are witnesses. There’s audio. There’s video. She’s got the bruises on her arms. Trump was asked about it after the debate last night. He thinks it’s all made up. He didn’t see it. He was long gone, or at least his back was to the event when it happened.
It happened after he had walked by, and it may well be that the people involved have not told him what really happened, that they’re saying, “Nah, she’s making it up! She’s exaggerating. It didn’t happen, or it did happen but it wasn’t Corey Lewandowski that did it,” or what have you. But, I mean, there’s all kinds of witnesses and evidence here. People were running audiotape of it. There’s some video, I think. She’s got the bruises on her arms.
Politico has run, I think, the audio and transcript of it. So it happened. And Trump last night said that he thinks it’s being made up because that’s obviously what his people are telling him. Now Michelle Fields of Breitbart has filed a formal criminal complaint against Lewandowski alleging that he forcefully grabbed her and nearly threw her to the floor. So that’s not gonna go away.”

As Rush would say, ‘and there you have it folks’
Don’t listen to Rush much anymore....it’s so obvious....
That was the day after the event. Rust recounted what happened...and said there was no way Trump could have known anything about it. That’s a LONG way from taking Field’s side.
After that monologue, the incident was NOT MENTIONED on Rush’s show for another 17 days.
