Breitbart Meltdown

This.

Her claims do not match what is seen in the video. The guy probably does this 20 times a day. She was firmly pulled away from Trump, not "almost pulled to the ground". This woman is trying to make a name for herself. Trump's crowd should have handled it better, but they will learn.

There we go with the sexism again. Haven't you learned your lesson yet?

Haven't you learned? People were posting their horrible impressions of her. It's called observation based on her inappropriate dress and behavior.

Pull your head out!

1. Breitbart is the right's equivalent to Mother Jones or HuffPo. No one takes them as serious journalists. Congratulations to the posters here that figured it out.

2. This "battery" charge is a joke. Unwanted touching by another person is technically a battery. I get batteried in the Metro every day. This so-called "reporter" needs to put her big girl pants on if she wants to be an aggressive beat reporter. Also, from looking at the video, I don't see where she was "almost pushed to the floor". The anti-Trumpers are getting desperate I guess. This charge will get laughed out of court.

This Michelle Fields also has her name involved in the Ted Cruz affairs story. I'm guessing she likes attention or is some kind of nut job.

Breitbart made painstaking efforts to create a false alibi for Lewandowski. That is far more extreme that anything Mother Jones or the Huffington Post would do. Please don't engage in false equivalence.

Regardless of your opinion about the seriousness of the assault, the reporter's arm was bruised. If it was such a minor incident, Lewandowski would have had no reason to deny that it happened and could have easily resolved it with an apology. Instead he called Fields "deranged". I note you seem to share that attitude regarding her mental state. For that matter, you seem to share much of the attitude demonstrated by Trump and his campaign towards women. Maybe that is why Trump's negatives with female voters is at atmospheric levels?

The icing on the case of this story is that Lewandowski is being represented in the case by a lawyer who had to resign as a federal prosecutor after biting a stripper. I know that violence towards women is a frequent campaign issue these days. However, it is unusual for candidates to seemingly be in favor of it.

If your job is to move people away from the candidate and you do it often, you probably don't remember the incident. Video shows how minor it was - he should deny assessing her because he didn't. She acts like a battered woman - she's not.

And don't ask me to feel badly for a stripper

I am not a conservative but this frivolous lawsuit has no merit. It may be an attempt to deflect Cruz's sex scandal. From the video at no point she was pushed to the ground as she originally claimed. You can't even tell if she is bumped or not from the video. Can she be sued for filing bogus lawsuit?

She never claimed to have been pushed to the ground. What's funny is that Lewandowski claimed that he never touched her. He obviously lied.

For the record, she can't be sued for filing a bogus lawsuit because she didn't file a lawsuit. She filed a criminal complaint and local prosecutors decided the evidence supported pressing charges.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that he erred rather than lied, as this is the kind of "battery" that almost certainly happens daily on the campaign trail given the crowding and jostling, etc., and I could see it being forgotten soon after it occurred. He certainly needs to explain himself given the video, however, and he does sound like kind of a jerk, and not in the fun way that Mr. Trump sometimes does.

But, in any event, I have utter confidence in the courts of the State of Florida to sort though the facts and do justice in connection with this heinous crime. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall! (Would that such crimes were as aggressively prosecuted here in the District; I've been subject to such criminal battery often on the metro myself. lol)

I would say ordinarily if you identify your "attacker" on the metro, then if you report it to the police, something might happen, especially if they publicly call you deranged and a liar. In today's atmosphere of danger and crime on the metro, then yes, I think metro police and MPD would take you very seriously.

Really? If someone grabbed your arm on the Metro to move you out of the way and you reported it, they would laugh at you. They take real criminal assaults very lightly.

If someone grabbed me for any reason on the metro (other than maybe catching me from falling the tracks if I were to pass out) I'd be extremely pissed and would absolutely lodge a complaint. And I think you are full of shit that this happens on the metro. I've been riding the metro for 10 years now and have never been grabbed. I've occasionally been bumped and the person immediately apologized.

Here is the description that I provided in the first post:

"Fields was roughly pulled from behind by her arm, almost falling to the ground and ending up with a bruised arm".

That is fully supported by the video. Moreover, Lewandowski claimed not tot have touched Fields at all. He has been shown to be a blatant liar. Why would the Trump campaign -- including the candidate -- engage in a campaign of lies and personal attacks over something that "happens all the time"?

At the very least, this should be another demonstration of why Trump is too unstable and erratic to be anywhere near the nuclear codes. Something that could have been resolved by simply saying, "I'm sorry" has run on for weeks and has in campaign manager in a Florida courtroom a week for the Wisconsin primary.

Did he know it was Fields? Fields is known to be a bit of a loose cannon.

Are you suggesting he planned to pull her arm, sought her out, call her deranged, and lie about it? I assumed that it was just an unplanned incident.

I'm saying he probably didn't recognize her in the scrum.

NP. The two times I was shoved to the ground, the police didn't give a rat's ass.

LOL @ this PP. The "people" who were posting were you. You have probably posted half the messages in this thread today. Any Trumpeter who judges anyone on inappropriate behavior is -- at a minimum -- displaying a massive double standard. When the one being judged is female, that double standard can easily be considered sexism.

It is interesting to see that Trumpeter are consistent in how they react to being called on their BS. They hate being called racists worst then they hate being racist in the first place. Now I see that it is the same with sexism. They can't stand to be called sexist and if that deranged, terribly-dressed girl reporter who doesn't know her proper place would just shut up, this wouldn't be an issue.

Me too. I've never been treated that way on the metro and I've never seen anyone else treated that way on the metro. And I've been riding metro for 14 years.

Trump just posted pictures of Michelle right next to him looking like she touched him and shouting questions. A different angle. He is talking about pressing charges on her. He is posting that she changed her story after finding out about the tapes.

Latest update.

Like the town drunk, they seemed to know about her and her MO.

That's his modus operandi. Threaten to sue. He doesn't actually sue, though, so who cares?

I was just going to say, did we really expect the Trumpenator to react in any other way?

Not very classy, and very presidential. But we are apparently post-presidential.

He must have complete morons for advisers. They should never have allowed this incident to escalate.

They're going to need to be careful and start banning these types of people. There's a pattern of behavior with her.
