Today I informed the management at Breitbart News of my immediate resignation, the reporter at the center of the controversy at the conservative site told BuzzFeed News, the week after Trumps campaign manager allegedly grabbed her.
Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields and editor-at-large Ben Shapiro are resigning from the company over the sites handling of Donald Trumps campaign managers alleged assault on Fields, BuzzFeed News has learned...

Shapiro’s wife is a doctor. If what you suggest is true, he may get a second circumcision.
I think that we just witnessed another Dan Rather moment this evening only larger. We have a long list of characters - Fields, Shapiro, Terris and others who decided to take a demonstrably false story and cling to the falsehood rather than just making a simple apology. I wouldn’t be surprised if Terris and Megyn Kelly quit their jobs tomorrow so that they can “spend more time with their families.”
“Shapiro is a delusional scumbag as he shows in his resignation letter.”
His righteous indignation is really rich. He backed a lying amateur because it gave him cover to rant against Trump. Too bad the truth made it out before he could get out the door. He’ll have a pretty soft landing. It’ll be interesting to see where Fields ends up.
BTW Shapiro Loved Trump last election cycle, said he could beat Obama !
Breitbarts public relations executive, Kurt Bardella:
"When you reach a point where you cant give 100% to people you represent, its not tenable to continue representing them. My own personal observation is that there is a cycle of behavior that is escalating and its happening exclusively at Donald Trump events. It is wrong, disgusting and indicative of an ugliness that is contaminating the public and political discourse in our country. Life is too short to invest your time in things you dont believe and arent passionate about. That is why I made the decision to resign from representing Breitbart."
This should end Ben Shapiro’s career as some kind of “conservative” prognosticator. I would watch how his marriage fares as well, as “white knights” for female reporters often indicate something deeper may be going on. I really hope not, as he has a small child. Ben’s fall from grace has been very sad to behold.
Michelle Fields should face CRIMINAL charges for filing a false police report in Jupiter, FL. In addition, FoxNews really needs to remove her from circulation, as she is beyond damaged goods.
Other “pundits” who has disgraced themselves in #GrabGate have been Katie Pavlich, Dana Loesch (no surprise...a serial liar and former radical liberal and now Beck stooge), Twitchy, Townhall (Salem Media rags both), BuzzFeed, WaPo and far too many others to count, mostly rabid CruzBots.
Oh come on, man. You’re delusional. We have video of Trump walking right past her with no assault taking place. you should even listen to the audio of her and Tellis discussing the ‘assault’ after the fact. It’s about as scripted as you can get. I know you’re anti-Trump, but you always seemed reasonable enough to acknowledge facts. There is no video evidence of an assault. On the contrary, we have video coverage of the encounter that shows there was no assault.
Megyn will never go. Reminds me of an old SNL skit, “The thing That Wouldn’t leave”
But he tried to make it up.
There was no assault. It was a failed hoax political hit. She will be retracting her criminal charges or face them herself.
Beyond that I don’t care about Breitbart or anyone’s opus from the place or your TDS opinion of it.
Coward.
What good has the “Conservative new media” done? Just askin.
so why are you on FR? its a part of the Conservative new media
There is also a WaPo photog who got caught up in this and lied to say he wasn’t there to avoid having to back up Terris.
People are deleting tweets left and right lol
Ben thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room....and he never let’s you forget it. Must admit to some schadenfreude here.
When Beck was threatening to stab-stab-stab Trump, and Breitbart criticized Beck for it- Dana Loesch went on a rant calling out the guy, and then calling out someone who “stinks” and has “body odor” and “sausage fingers” and is just “really gross” —
I believe she was talking about Steve Bannon. Shortly before that incident, Beck was on-air telling people to “ask Dana all about Breitbart” and how shady he/Bb is.
There is definitely some anti Bb mongering going on with some of these disgruntled pundits! I wonder why.
Yup. Instead of praying for a rescue ship such as The Carpathia, the Cruzes pray for monay monay! :)
Pavlich was a media star within 6 months of graduating from Arizona State. Caked-on makeup and cleavage was all it took. Fields doesn't need makeup and loves to show her tits everywhere.
Neither one of these brainless twits would have gotten a second of airtime on FauxNews at such a young age, and with so few accomplishments behind them had they been MEN.
>>>It was a failed hoax political hit.
According to you and your logic.
She worked for Brietbart for goodness sake. Political hit from Breitbart!
Some folks lose their reason for Trump.
Either Brietbart reporters planned a political hit, or...
Trump has to destroy another person rather than tell the truth or apologize.
I think B) is much more plausible.
Agree. Ben S is another one of the folks I used to like show their dark side this time around.
