Source: Palm Beach Post
JUPITER Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump campaign manager, was charged this morning with misdemeanor battery after allegations of forcefully grabbing a reporter at a Jupiter news conference, town police confirmed this morning.
Following a March 8 conference at Trump National Golf Club, Michelle Fields, a 28-year-old reporter formerly with the online Breitbart News Network, said she was grabbed on the arm by Lewandowski, 41, after she asked Trump a question about affirmative action.
Washington Post reporter Ben Terris wrote that he witnessed the battery.
Jupiter police later said they were looking into the incident after Fields filed a report, although investigators had not named Lewandowski.

(5,044 posts)He will certainly have the most delegates, but the GOP will take it from him at the convention. This was the game changer that the establishment needed.
Wisconsin is the key to denying Trump the threshold, he just lost Wisconsin.

(755 posts)What 30 years of the mechanistic, hypocritical, low, greed-and-hate driven stance of the Republican party hath spawned. He and his ilk are the antithesis of what it means to be an honorable citizen of the United States of America.

(23,156 posts)Start - show scene of Trump saying hire the best people who will make the best decisions. Morph to show violent scene with Lewandowski, then newspaper article saying he's been indicted. ? Trumps' decision making skills and show him stating "I'd like to punch him in the face" and other inflammatory rhetoric, and ask is this presidential behavior? Do you want him choosing this type of people to make important decisions?
Easy peasey.
