A group of self-righteous Ted Cruz supporters released a prepared statement today demanding Donald Trump fire Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski for allegedly assaulting reporter Michelle Fields when he walked past her at a Trump event in Jupiter, Florida.
Lewandowski was charged with “battery” for allegedly assaulting the former Breitbart reporter.
These Cruz supporters signed a letter today demanding that Lewandowski be fired.
Tonight Greta Van Susteren lambasted these “conservative” women who signed on to this outrageous letter.
“Two things. One, Lewandowski hasn’t even had a trial and they’re calling for his head. Yes, they’ve tried and convicted him. And, second, each of these women has now shot herself in the foot. How can any one of them continue to cover the presidential race by not waiting for the DA’s decision to try the case or not, or waiting for a jury verdict but instead by taking sides in such a public way.

Cruz supporters are disliked almost as much as Cruz. And it has nothing to do with your ideology.
For too long, conservatives have allowed themselves to be silenced/harassed by leftist thugs who've shut down their speech on college campuses and elsewhere. Here, you had a bunch of leftist goons whose core argument was that they get to decide the bounds of acceptable political speech. If they don't like you, they'll cause disruption and try to shut you down. Then the media hops on board with the "this is what happens when you divide people", and blame the speaker. Which gives the disruptors exactly what they want. No wonder they keep doing it.
So on the issue of "dividing people", I'm fully on Trump's side. The reality is that the American people are divided on a whole bunch of issues (and there's nothing wrong with that either), and all Trump is really doing is pointing that out a division that already exists. Good for him, because if you don't point out those divisions (and the left certainly does), how can you possibly fight back?
I do oppose Trump very strongly for other reasons, but on this stuff, he's right. Perhaps by accident/stumbling into it, but right all the same.
As a drive-by he is too gutless to respond to your reasonable query, but it appears the answer can only be "Yes".
Is there any law against conspiring to file false report with the police. Encouraging perjury.? I doubt it. That just lease him as a jerk.
Hi!
This is my chart that I made, I assume you got it from TheGatewayPundit. Jim cropped my name out for some reason, if you are able to I would appreciate you linking to my original work here: https://twitter.com/TweetBrettMac/status/715308591670886401
I agree. I have also thought that in the 1970s, women journalists would be out to prove that they were as tough as the men, and would simply try to out jostle the other reporters. These days they seem to want separate fainting couches. Notice that no older women journalists are on that list.

I think that you may be correct. I had it in my mind that Patton said it but that would not be something that he would say. The brain can surely twist things.
