GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump caused another media frenzy over comments he made during a series of interviews in the aftermath of news that his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, had been charged with simple battery. The charge stems from an incident where Lewandowski allegedly grabbed the arm of former Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields after a press conference in early March. During interviews Tuesday night and Wednesday with almost all of the major news outlets, Trump defended Lewandowski’s actions and he dismissed the incident as “very minor,” telling reporters “practically nothing happened” and that he didn’t believe police should’ve brought...

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.”

But Tuesday afternoon, Trump met with reporters and forcefully claimed the videotape proved Fields had exaggerated her story–with the reporter perhaps posing a threat to Trump himself. Shapiro said those comments weighed on her decision not to appear with Megyn Kelly. “I’ve been encouraging Michelle to come on TV and tell her part of the story since she’s obviously being lied about by Mr. Trump and presumably by the rest of the Trump campaign all day…she didn’t want to be the center of the story.” In a comment at the end of the hour, Kelly noted she had spoken to...

Judge Napolitano argued that Michelle Fields is “out of her tree” if she thinks the battery charges will stick against Corey Lewandowski. “ “I know Michelle Fields. I know her well. And I like her. I know Donald Trump. I have a financial relationship with him. I’m not a Trump spokesperson or apologist. I don’t know Corey Lewandowski. I read the complaint. I read her version of events. I read his version of events. I’ve watched the tapes until I’m blue in the face. There’s no criminal behavior here and this should be dismissed. This is not a case for...

March 29, 2016, 08:34 pm Cruz on Trump aide: 'Of course' I'd ask him to resign By Rebecca Savransky Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said if Corey Lewandowski worked for him, he would ask the campaign manager to resign. "Of course," Cruz said in response to the question by Anderson Cooper during a CNN town hall Tuesday on whether he'd ask the embattled aide to resign. "It shouldn't be complicated that members of the campaign staff should not be physically assaulting the press," he said. "That shouldn't be a complicated decision."

I’m demanding that Michelle Fields charge me with hacking her computer. She won’t, of course, because I didn’t do it. She only charges people for brushing past her at a campaign event. Nothing serious like hacking. In December of 2015 Fields falsely accused me of hacking her computer and has continued to repeat the lie even after her bosses told her to cut it out. She had sent me a LinkedIn request and I called her. We had a friendly conversation before she tweeted out to the world that I had hacked her. Seriously. I texted her and said something...

While covering Occupy Wall Street’s “Day of Action” Thursday morning, Daily Caller reporter Michelle Fields and videographer Direna Cousins were struck by NYPD officers as police tried to clear Wall Street of protesters. “The police officers were beating the protesters with batons, and were also beating the media,” Fields told TheDC. “They hit Direna and me with batons. They hit other members of the press in order to get them to move out of the street.”

“The police officers were beating the protesters with batons, and were also beating the media,” Fields told TheDC. “They hit Direna and me with batons. They hit other members of the press in order to get them to move out of the street.” “Direna had a camera in her hand and I had a microphone, and we were being hit,” she said. “When I fell to the ground I said at one point, ‘I’m just covering this! I’m covering this!’ And the officer just said, ‘Come on, get up, get up,’ before pulling me up by my jacket.'” In the...

Like the Republican Party, the conservative media has now bifurcated. On one side stand blogs, radio hosts and pundits (representing a range of ideological perspectives from the libertarian Reason to old-guard conservatives such as National Review) along with feisty reporters (e.g. Washington Free Beacon) who are candid about their ideological perspective and have been candid about who Donald Trump is and what he is attempting to do (i.e. use the GOP as a vehicle for his Peronist vision). On the other is the hodgepodge of Trump apologists, including Breitbart, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and anti-immigration-obsessed talk radio hosts. Fortunately, the...

Ben Terris of the Washington Post then wrote an article to boost Michelle Fields’ claim. Read: “Inside Trump’s inner circle, his staffers are willing to fight for him. Literally.” As security parted the...

This is a youtube about the author investigating the Fields/Lewandowski hoax. He does a good job of showing lying on the part of the Washington Post cameraman. It seems quite likely the audio was doctored, but he does not investigate that. Link to youtube video

Less than a week after she was allegedly assaulted by Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields has resigned from the conservative news site because she says her employer did not have her back in the days following the incident. “Today I informed the management at Breitbart News of my immediate resignation,” Fields said in a statement to BuzzFeed early Monday. “I do not believe Breitbart News has adequately stood by me during the events of the past week and because of that I believe it is now best for us to part ways.” Fields’ colleague, editor-at-large Ben Shapiro,...
