White House rips Trump for standing by aide charged with battery

White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Wednesday condemned Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump

Corey Lewandowski is accused of grabbing the arm of a reporter after a Trump press conference in Florida earlier this month.

“I am confident that neither President Obama nor President Bush would tolerate someone on their staff being accused of physically assaulting a reporter, lying about it and then blaming the victim,” Earnest told reporters.

Earnest said Trump's response to the Lewandowski incident, as well his other controversial actions, is "completely outside the realm of acceptable behavior.”

White House rips Trump for standing by aide charged with battery

Proof positive the Left is scared $hitless about a Trump candidacy.

As are MANY at FR, who now find themselves in complete agreement with the Fraud, and desire nothing less than to serve Hillary.

Did the WH have anything to say when Huma grabbed the Hillary supporter and yanked her back?

Nope.

I’m on the same page as you are. Us voting fodder are seeing that Trump has his employee’s back. The others would dispose of any employee whatever the situation, if it worked to their personal benefit.

It’s far better to abandon warriors in Benghazi, allow deadly mishandling of classified information, and permit untold millions of illegal aliens to cross our borders, than it is to slip through a crowded room.

The first 3 were not fired. They think the guy walking through a crowd should be.

” and desire nothing less than to serve Hillary. “

Geesh, really. You are claiming that people on FR want to serve Hillary.
I can’t tell if you a drama queen or simply dishonest.

Don’t be ridiculous.

Oh, so you consider yourself to be “above the fray” and think nothing of it because you’re “better than that”?

Finally, proof positive the left wants Trump to run against Killary, since he loses to her in the polls! /s

Considering what Obama has been accused of, why didn’t he resign 7 1/2 years ago?

But it is ok for Bathhouse Barry to stand by Holder after he was found to be in contempt of Congress. Obuttmunch should shut his pie hole.

Oh the hardcore Cruz people on FR have a new person they agree with!

Funny how much of what they spout on FR is echoed by the Gope, the MSM, and the WH.

If you watch the “Latest” video released, it looks to me like the 2 Secret Service agents are about ready to POUNCE on the reporter attempting to ASSAULT a Presidential Candidate, LOOK AT THEIR ARMS. The Snowflake Reporter should be THANKING Corey for SAVING HER LIKE from a BEATDOWN by the Secret Service.

He Pulled her away just in the nick of time!

If “Most people have wrote this off as nonsense” why is there so much wailing and knashing of teeth by Trump supporters?

What failing? lets see:

1. Grabbing her
2. Pulling her
3. Lying about grabbing and pulling her
4. Lying about meeting her
5. Failing to apologize for the ‘misunderstanding’.
6. Releasing an excellent video of him grabbing and pulling her.
7. Getting her fired.
8. Threatening to file charges against her.
9. Suggesting she was trying to assassinate Trump
10. Implying the Secret Service is incompetent.
11. Slandering her.
12. Lying about the event some more.
13. Giving emotional interviews on national tv
14. Failing to take criminal charges seriously
15. Failing to show respect for the police and our legal system.
16. Calling this a trick when its the result of incompetence and a crazy reporter

This event is a case study on how NOT to handle crisis management for a campaign.

This bogus campaign against Mr. Trump is an eye-opener for me. Such a set-up and coordinated effort among certain public figures and media outlets that it’s a revelation to me. I pray the Lord’s protection over all who are suffering wrongful prosecution from these coordinated attacks.

The White Hut tolerated a cabinet member who violated national security and records retention laws by intentionally creating her own email server. Now she is the Democratic front-runner. Screw the Whte Hut.

Secret Service agents are always ready to pounce on someone close to their protectee.

If she was a threat she shouldn’t have gotten close to him. IF she was considered a threat and had gotten close she should have been cuffed and hauled away.

That she wasn’t shows they didnt see her as a threat.
