..Fields and Ben Shapiro Resign from Breitbart after Fudging Story about Trump Campaign Manager
GatewayPundit ^ | March 14, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/14/2016 6:24:25 AM PDT by bobsunshine

Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields made headlines last week when she claimed Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski grabbed her and threw her down on the ground at the Jupiter, Florida victory speech on Tuesday night.

Video now proves that Fields exaggerated the story for some strange reason.

Michelle Fields will either be prosecuted for filing a false report, or the police will succumb to political pressure and let her off if she withdraws her phony complaint. After that, she'll be looking for work, and guess what, won't find it. So she'll sue, oh, I dunno, Donald Trump? Breitbart?

Rush is not a Trump hater, but all but endorsed Ted Cruz.

“And then I expanded on it. Let me say one [thing]: if conservatism is your bag, if conservatism is the dominating factor in how you vote, there is no other choice for you in this campaign than Ted Cruz because you are exactly– this is the closest in our lifetimes we have ever been to Ronald Reagan,” Limbaugh

No, I don’t know what your agenda is as you seem to ignore what other posters are sending you.

Looks like Fields’ claim was a complete lie. Breitbart should’ve shrugged it off?

Michelle Fields is a fine young CONSERVATIVE journalist. I’ve hated seeing the demonization of her with a steady flow of lies and mischaracterizations of this whole incident. Folks, we’re consuming our own!

Not following this story real close.

Did Fields claim that she was thrown down or did she just claim that she was grabbed tightly on the arm and bruised?

Video shows grip strength?

Conflicting interpretations don’t certify a lie.

Grow up!

The only ones making fools of themselves are the Trump supporters who seem to think this video helps them. It doesn’t.

Corey claimed that he had never touched Michelle Fields - this video clearly shows that he did. This is especially grievous because at the beginning she was only asking for a simple apology and instead he accused her of making the whole thing up and claimed she had a pattern of doing so which was a ridiculous response when a simple apology would have ended the matter.

Michelle claimed that Corey jerked her backwards by her left arm hard enough that she almost fell but she was able to catch her balance. This video combined with the previous ones released clearly shows that Corey reached out and grabbed her left arm from behind and jerked on it hard enough to spin her around and pull her back between himself and the Secret Service agent. So, she is clearly telling the Truth and Corey smeared her rather than simply apologize. Corey, Breitbart management, and many Trump supporters here on FR should be ashamed of themselves.

She never claimed that he threw her to the ground. She claimed that he jerked her left arm hard enough from behind that she almost fell but was able to regain her balance. The video does show her being rapidly pulled backwards while being spun sideways which fits perfectly with her description. Too many Trump supporters here are attacking a strong man and claiming this video debunks a claim that she never made.

The person grabbing her is Corey. He pulls her back and then passes in front of her. The secret service agent passes behind her and does not even touch her.

She just claimed that she was grabbed tightly by the armed and jerked back strongly enough that she momentarily lost her balance but was able to recover and not fall.

Watch the video, the physical evidence and her claims do not match. Even the picture of her supposed bruises does not match the physical evidence presented in the video.

It is a lie. Don't cling to it because you mistakenly think this smear job does something for your candidate politically.

CBS and the Junk media circled the wagons around Dan Rather in 2004 on the Bush National Guard story too but in the end, the truth will get out.

Better to be on the side of the truth, not the liars.

Have you seen this version of the ground level video? It appears that the cameraman knew something was coming as he pans left to where dimassimo is in the crowd. At that point, dimassimo hurdles the barricade and runs toward the stage.

I am fairly certain that this latest video starts partway into the jerk. I would love to see an expanded clip because I am fairly certain it would show him starting to pull on her lower arm and then shifting his grip to her upper arm as he pull himself in front of her.

Rapidly pulled backwards? No it doesn’t. Spun sideways? Get new glasses.

Never happened. “Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, I was shaken.”

Michelle Fields is a fine young CONSERVATIVE journalist Scheming, Lying Opportunist.

She aggressively invaded the space of a Secret Service protectee. She's lucky the Secret Service didn't give her the DiMassimo treament.

The secret service wasn’t concerned. It was Corey who jerked her backwards. btw, when this latest video starts she has already been jerked significantly behind Trump so it really only shows the last part of Corey pulling her backwards and then shoving himself in front of her.
