Lawsuit: Trump campaign’s state director in N.C. pointed loaded gun at ‘petrified’ staffer
Washington Post ^ | 8/11/16 | Sean Sullivan and Sarah Larimer

Posted on 08/11/2016 4:21:46 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

A former staffer for Donald Trump's campaign alleged in a lawsuit this week that a top aide in North Carolina pulled out a gun while the pair traveled together in February and held the loaded firearm to the staffer's kneecap.

The 15-page lawsuit, filed Wednesday in North Carolina, was obtained and posted online by WBTV, a station in Charlotte. In the filing, Vincent Bordini claims Earl Phillip pulled the pistol on him as the pair traveled in South Carolina in February. At the time, Phillip was the campaign's North Carolina state director, a position he has since ceded.

"All of a sudden, Vincent saw Phillip pull a gun out from his side of the jeep," states the lawsuit, which names both Phillip and the Trump campaign as defendants. "It was a .45 caliber pistol. It was loaded. In fact, Phillip previously told Vincent that he keeps his guns loaded. Phillip held the gun in his right hand, the one closest to Vincent. Phillip's index finger was on the trigger."

Earl Phillip is a black man who supports Trump. This may very well be why he has been targeted by the media.

Phillip and his lawyer claim innocence....and we need to remember: the same LIES were told by the media about Corey Lewandowski.

No matter, of course, to the media: they will try and destroy Trump and his supporters.

according to Washington comPOST, the guy filing the lawsuit really liked Trump and tried to get the campaign’s higher ups to do something about it, but they didn’t...so now, of course, he wants to file a lawsuit.

Smells really really fishy.

In fact, Phillip previously told Vincent that he keeps his guns loaded.

OH MY GOD.

I mean, its one thing to have a gun. But to have a LOADED gun is... well, it's unspeakable.

Something Should Be Done.

After all, if guns weren't loaded, would we have any gun problems anymore? Well would we? No we wouldn't.

Seems pretty obvious to me.

I'm surprised that they didn't allege that he had been "Gang Raped" by Trump supporters! Remember the absolute SLIME thrown at Nikki Haley when she was running for Governor (regardless of how you may view her Trump position status!!!)

But with Hillary/DNC campaign staffers, there are body bags involved.

Lawsuit?

This isn’t lawsuit material. It’s a criminal matter that should have been reported to the police immediately.

It wasn’t reported to the police? There are no witnesses?

Then it N E V E R happened.

Washington Post = Globalist/Establishment Post

All they do is spin, tell half truths and lie,to their readers. They protect real criminals like Hillary and practice yellow journalism everyday vs objective journalism.

The Washinton Post is a joke in other words. It’s full of DNC hacks or Full of $hit in other words.

I dont know about anybody else, but I’m willing to make Trump my president whether he wins or loses at this point.

I’d follow his administration’s laws.

This America we live in is a joke of a republic. More like banana republic.

The country will not last with four years of hillary.

The kind of money behind She Who Shall Not Be Named, see who her supporters are, i.e. all the elites, can buy a lot of support...

Vincent Bordini will either be rewarded for his support or will not end up having a fatal “accident”.

There was a kook on the Trump campaign; it’s not yet clear who the kook was. But the kook is off of it now.

May the good Lord indeed cause the truth to be revealed. If something like this happened, the Trump people need to be aware of the truth (not just that it’s “not provable”) so that they can avoid such problems in the future.

But even yet... what’s the worst here. Someone got a gun pointed at him because he allegedly crossed Trump. But if someone crossed the Clintons, he wouldn’t be complaining of having a gun pointed at him. He’d be dead.

It would even be interesting to hear from the campaign people who were reportedly told about it.

Surely to a person their advice to Bordini would have been “If this is true, don’t tell ME. Call the cops!”

Only 48 and I forgot the post you were responding to. Had to look at it again. That’s bad :)

You are right. DNC folk are DEAD and it’s not being reported.
