The web is buzzing about the horrifying battery of Michelle Fields by Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Fields has appeared on Fox News, and was hired by Breitbart last year. Normally, Fields covered the Cruz campaign, but she filled in one day for a Trump reporter that was out sick. She attended a Trump rally in Jupiter, Florida. In her own words, Trump was walking around talking to reporters. Fields went to ask him a question about affirmative action, and once she did, someone grabbed her by the arm — hard enough to leave her arm bruised a day later — and yanked her backwards, hard enough that she almost fell to the ground. Ben Terris, a reporter for The Washington Post, immediately identified the attacker: Corey Lewandowski. Fields watched as Trump and Lewandowski left the building together. Trump evidently had no concern whatsoever for the female reporter that his campaign manager had just attacked. This kind of behavior apparently does not bother him (which explains the constant violence breaking out at his rallies). And that this happened at a Trump rally, at this point, doesn’t surprise many people. But the response from Breitbart has left many people asking why they aren’t siding with their reporter after she was victimized by Trump’s campaign manager, issuing nothing more than a weak statement that even calls Fields’ account into question.
