Police said their investigation found “probable cause” to charge Lewandowski with misdemeanor simple battery “in that he did intentionally touch Michelle Fields… against the will of Michelle Fields.”

No one loves the ladies like Donald J. Trump. He could not care les about the bruised arms of Ms Fields.

Trump's complaint? 'They're being mean to my thugs!'

'bout time.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Lewandowsi described his hands-off approach to the candidate:

"I see Mr. Trump as American Pharoah, the horse that just ran and won the Triple Crown. When you have a horse like that, American Pharoah, you have to let him do his thing. Let him run his race. And anybody who thinks that they are going to be able to dictate what Mr. Trump should or shouldn't do doesn't understand the unparalleled success that he has had across his life.”

Donald J. Trump's wierd band of thugs and nuts. This one thinks Trump is an American Pharoah and Cruz's dad thinks Ted Cruz is the messiah.

Trump should be proud. His lanky stud can beat up a girl.

If Fields was that close to the candidate and maneuvering between two Secret Service agents most likely she had been warned. She should consider herself fortunate for not being grabbed by the back of her head by one of them quite honestly. Then Trump really would have grounds to sue.

We watched video that showed what he was doing Trump said she created video and she injured herself so Trump organization' camera on ceiling was used. More clear picture. Trump is still telling she created bruise and lieing right now. But police arrested the campaign manager. Simple battery. The girl quitter her reporter job (conservative) But some men came out to say he loves girls and. Making fool

Police Charge Trump Campaign Manager With Battery

"The police in Jupiter, Florida have clearly seen what Donald Trump refuses to acknowledge: his campaign manager battered a woman and caused serious bruising," said Our Principles PAC leader Katie Packer. "In any job in America this would be grounds for firing. Instead Donald Trump has praised him.

We don't know all the facts. In the US, you are always innocent until proven guilty. We shouldn't be jumping the ball, I know liberals have a Japanese Judicial thought process, guilty until proven innocent. So

The bruising will need to be proved. The contact is evident. Excessive force is yet to prove. The crowds in any event need contact persuasion to allow any VIP through. Trump does make a valid point, at the scene she did not scream out in pain. And her initial claims were proved exaggerated at the least.

For all we know she has been paid to make these accusations. The other possibility is Lewandowski did indeed use excessive force. He is innocent until proven guilty.

Donald J. Trump's, torture advocate, school of violent outbursts has some interesting history. Where did thumpers get their backgound in violence?

Here, a peak at Donald's formative years . . . go figure. How sociopaths are made, not born. Just ask Ms Fields, the latest victim.

In addition to the hazing rituals, NYMA’s older boys also punished younger ones for various violations of the rules. Boys being boys, things sometimes got out of hand. During Donald’s senior year, a cadet captain beat his inferior with a heavy metal chain. The victim ran away and eventually wound up in a local hospital. The school’s commandant, head master, and superintendent were forced to resign.

Boys fled the NYMA campus on a regular basis. Some ran away to escape being brutalized by older cadets, many of whom had been sent to NYMA because they were so unruly they couldn’t stay in their schools back home. (This was the reason for Donald’s exile to the academy in the eighth grade.)

Campaign manager Lewandowski certainly should face charges for his behavior. It is about time. But Lewandowski is only a henchman whose behavior was motivated by Trump's rhetoric.

The question is, why have the authorities not yet charged Trump for publicly inciting violence on numerous occasions? We've all seen the footage of Trump talking about protestors deserving to be "carried out on stretchers" and punching protesters "in the face," and other 10-year-old schoolyard bully rhetoric, ad nauseum.

Heh, this is all they have? How does Corey know that she isn't trying to harm Mr. Trump? In a crowd at that. A woman in a crowd tried to stab Ronald Reagan in the 80's when he was the President.

This smells like another desparate establishment attempt to derail Mr. Trump's campaign. Wouldn't be shocked to find out if someone within the establishment or the "stopTrump" faction fed her the idea to pursue charges. Why else would she wait a couple of days to file?

The woman is a reporter who wants to play both sides. She wants to be known as an assertive/agressive reporter but she doesn't want to deal with the consequences of that. Now she's made news for all the wrong reasons, hope she has another occupation to fall back on -- perhaps professional 'rasslin' -- as she's has lost her credibility as a reporter. . . .

You would think so, the liberals on this site (you know who you are) believe in a presumption of innocence, provided a liberal or a Democrat is accused of wrongdoing. It it's a conservative, well it's a matter of fact, true and the individual is guilty with a shred of evidence, not needed. Remember, justice applies to liberals only.

I looked at a couple of videos, I have to agree that it didn't appear to be that 'assaulty' in the videos I saw. Does someone have something that shows this clearly to be quite physical?

He has 4 children and does not have a job. She had a well paid reporter job at conservative newapaper organization. They know each other as both are Trump supporters. Maybe he hated her because she makes good money? Full time campaign workers are usually jobless. after electiiion, if the boss is elected, some hard workers get a job.

Campaign manager Lewandowski certainly should face charges for his behavior. It is about time. But Lewandowski is only a henchman whose behavior was motivated by Trump's rhetoric.

Trump was actually being quite civil and listening to Fields even though she completely out of place in chasing after a candidate and he claims that he was touched also. I personally doubt any of this normal crowd behavior even caused a bruise, which seems to be on a different part of her arm than where she was grabbed. The plot thickens...

The police cannot determine if a person is guilty or not! That would be up for the courts to decide and as it looks, it will most likely be a misdemeanor.

Wow, the conspiracy theories in this thread. Is it really so surprising that persons with a history of thuggery act in a thuggish manner? Innocent until proven guilty and all that, but "the court of public opinion" isn't actually a real legal institution, you know (and it doesn't have the power to send you to jail....). I find it ironic that posters are putting forth this principle as an excuse to spout wild speculation as to the trustworthiness and motivations of alleged victim. So, as media consumers we are apparently not allowed to make any judgments as to the likelihood of Mr. Lewandowski's guilt, but as to Ms. Fields? Let your imagination run wild...

Japan deflect? I thought this story was about Corey Lewandowski in Florida vs. a Breitbart (California?) reporter.

The reporter never claimed to get thrown to the floor. She said she was almost pushed on the floor, which is accurate. People are confusing her with another reporter who actually was thrown on the floor by the secret service a few weeks earlier.

The Black Lives Matter males go to Trump's rallies and yell and scream and push people. Of course, no one even bothers to arrest them. A black policeman off-duty witnessed what his own people were doing and made a video about it. The liberals have been the violent and unpatriotic American since the 1960's. Woodstock? Berkeley? Wow. They seem to have forgotten.

Wood stock was peaceful? LOL And people were stoned out of their ever-loving minds. Liberals are denying what is in the history books. The only reason Trump rallies are violent is because the BLM shows up and yells, screams and pushes people and a black off-duty policeman said he is embarrassed of his own people. Because the Trump rally he went to was a wonderful, peaceful even EXCEPT for the nasty group of blacks - his own people.

-4 ( +3 / -7 )

Here's what I saw in the video, and I watched it very carefully a number of times.

Trumps campaign manager appears to be putting himself between Trump and the reporter as she was forcing her way into Trumps face. She wasn't jerked around and really showed little if any reaction to the manager moving between her and Trump other than what looks like disappointment that she didn't get to Trump.

If what happened in this video is considered simple battery then I think there could be thousands of cases everyday in any number of subway stations in the US. Using the Jupiter Police criteria tapping somebody on the shoulder to get their attention is simple battery.

@bongo, a campaign manager shouldn't have to intervene except in extraordinary danger. He's not a bodyguard--the government provides this service to all candidates.

Lewandowski went overboard constantly intervening at every event. Why, to relive his old police career manhandling people on a regular basis? It was obvious the Trump campaign lacked vision or strategy with this ex-cop running it. Surely there are some biker gang leaders who can step into the campaign management role after Lewandoski exits to increase the level of professionalism.

-2 ( +3 / -5 )

Dave, this is just another example of why Trump is unfit for (most any) office. Lewandowski's behavior was unprofessional, and Fields reached out to the Trump campaign repeatedly to confirm the incident. All she originally sought was confirmation that it happened and an apology. The Trump campaign does not roll that way; might as well try to squeeze blood from a rock. A tempest in a teacup, to be sure, but even those reveal much of a candidate's character.

The guy doesn't think. He simply reacts viscerally, like a playground bully. Everything becomes personal, and then brews into a vendetta - everything, no matter how small. This is what the incident says. Can you truly say you'd be comfortable with this joker controlling the American military?

Badsey, this is getting interesting. Even if those Cruz rumors turn out to be false, no one likes the guy - the best thing said about him winning the nomination is that his inevitable crushing by Bernie or Hillary will do much to discredit the Tea Party, whereas a similar crushing of Trump would leave no lesson, just finger-pointing and chaos. On the other hand, Trump has appeared erratic recently as his being way over his head becomes increasingly obvious. What happens if both candidates crater? There's still Kasich to pick up the baton, but who would follow?

The above article displays a real Ted Cruz. = 1# college debater in the US. He was also "creepy" in that he would walk around the Women's side of the dorm with his paisley robe on. He is a person that like to debate you and eventually push his ideals on you (maybe too aggressively for some). -A person like this can be their own worst enemy and not know it (walk right off a cliff because their sense of direction is so fierce).

Trump is rather different like a boxer. Can take a punch and give it and enjoys doing that. (This also upsets people). Overall he likes to do well (and others well), but is ultra-competitive and wants to win. Cruz is more of a squatter (squats over you) and could care less about winning as long as he mentally beats/controls you.

Twitter users have speculated that a major donation to Carly Fiorina’s campaign was given in response to the sex “scandal.” Sarah Isgur Flores served as Carly Fiorina’s deputy campaign manager during her 2016 run for President. During the early stages of that campaign in July 2015, a Ted Cruz-affiliated Super PAC, Keep the Promise I, donated **$500,000 to rival Carly Fiorina’s official campaign fund.** The Washington Post noted that the donation was “unusual” at the time. Since the Enquirer’s accusations, however, Twitter users have alleged that the donation was “hush money” to keep silent about the affair:

So now the Secret Service is reporting that the reporter penetrated their security perimeter, made repeated physical contact with the protectee and was twice warned to cease and desist before she was allegedly assaulted. There is a clear photo of her hand, which is holding an unidentified object, making contact with the protectee's arm.

As this appears, more and more, a case of exaggerated fabrication there is a very real backlash potential and it could actually help Trump.

"His campaign manager has been charged with battery, and the case against him is pretty strong (including damning video evidence). Trump, naturally, denies the whole thing."

"His rallies continue to be a swirl of violence and racism. Naturally, he topped off a week of terrible press by suggesting that there should be "some form of punishment" if women have illegal abortions, then immediately walked it back."

"As a result, his popularity is approaching that of an epidemic disease. Women, minorities, and college grads all dislike him by monumental proportions, and as Greg Sargent points out, a recent poll finds that even an absolute majority of white men have an unfavorable opinion of Trump."
