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.”

Two peas in a pod. Obama and Bush, two members of the Uniparty. The Dems like to invoke the Bush name as a way of endorsing the kind of Reps that are tolerable to them.

Youre a fool. An offensive fool.

Comparing Cruz supporters to the WH is foul and shows just how desperate and foolish you are.

“Obama is, or was, friends with Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorn, and Rev Wright.”

That is as bad as Trump being friends with Bill and Hillary, Owl Gore, and Jeffrey Epstein of Rape Island fame.

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

Personally, I think the TDS FReaks echo the Gope, MSM and WH.

“Stop helping Hillary, can you Cruzers at least do that?”

They’ve always felt that Cruz was entitled to the nomination.

Trump came along and “stole” it from him, by having the nerve of being a better candidate, with a better message, that actually appealed to, rather than down to people.

So they have been on a rampage since last Thanksgiving. Teaming up with the GOPe, MSM, and the Democrats is just part of their zealotry and derangement. Those guys are happy to swing Cruz’s pious fans around to be their hammer. It gives them cover.

Once they are done with Cruz, he gets chucked into the trash heap.

The Gope isn’t going to reward this guy with anything but a one-way ticket back to Texas and 3 years to clean out his Senate desk.

It is not only loyalty, but the fact is that Corey did nothing wrong. He is innocent until proven guilty. Why should he be fired without having his day in court? This is a frivolous, contrived incident that is blown way out of proporotion not only by the Dems but by the MSM, the anti-Trump movement, Cruz, and Kasich. There’s no there there.

Miriam Iris Carey made a wrong turn at the Whitehouse, then this happened

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/style/2014/11/26/how-miriam-careys-u-turn-at-a-white-house-checkpoint-led-to-her-death/

So many questions, so much we still don’t know about the case of the woman shot to death by the Secret Service and the U.S. Capitol Police on Oct. 3, 2013, after a car chase from the White House to Capitol Hill. Her 13-month-old daughter survived in a car seat.

Miriam Iris Carey — that was her name. She was one of the best dental hygienists and “one of the nicest people” Nicholson ever hired.

“It’s like she was wiped off the face of the earth.

Do you remember Miriam Carey? The main thing I remembered was that incredible video — the one showing the two-door black Infiniti surrounded by Secret Service officers with guns drawn near the Capitol Reflecting Pool. The car looks trapped. Suddenly the driver backs into a squad car and accelerates away. There’s the sound of gunfire while tourists take cover on the West Lawn. The Infiniti reappears, making a loop around a traffic circle, and proceeds up Constitution Avenue to what would be the fatal encounter outside the Hart Building.

What an afternoon. We were told that Carey “rammed” White House and Capitol “barriers.” That she tried to breach two security perimeters.

Except that some of what little we thought we knew hasn’t held up. The part about ramming White House barriers and trying to breach two security perimeters? Not exactly true.

.. a longtime, reliable and valued employee at two dental practices until the day she was killed? She had a condo and a family and, according to colleagues and relatives, plans for the weekend.

On the other hand, what person ignores commands from officers pointing guns, hits a couple of their cars, and drives on? “We all speculated that she was trying to get her child out of danger, when she was confronted with people with guns, because that’s what she would do,” Nicholson says.

"White House rips Trump for standing by aide charged with battery"

And So are the hardcore Cruz fans on FR.

Is this true? Yes or No? Are you of the same mind as the WH on this?

Right now CNN is airing a half hour special on all the crimes of Trump campaign manager.

I didn’t know he was involved in the Madoff scandal before I watched that.

They are really coming unhinged these days. Getting angrier, more smug, more insufferable. If Cruz eeks out a win in Wisconsin, look out, Jim R may have to go a banning. Maybe I will dangle $1000 donation out there to handpick the dozen or so of the most insufferable tools to be Zotted.

How's that compare with selling M-16s to Mexican drug lords?

So you think criminal charges should just be ignored? You Trumpettes go apegeces crazy at the smallest thing Cruz does or the slightest rumor.

What part of criminal charges have been filed don’t you understand?

Do you think the police should be ignored? Perhaps the justice system should be disbanded?

His lawyer apparently bit a stripper back in the 90s.

Classy guy
