Now GOP front-runner Donald Trump has weighed in on the arrest of his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski:
Wow, Corey Lewandowski, my campaign manager and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter. Look at tapes-nothing there!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 29, 2016
Why aren't people looking at this reporters earliest statement as to what happened, that is before she found out the episode was on tape?

Umm…
Because my story never changed. Seriously, just stop lying. https://t.co/1fz9cBHOuT

First statement said she was yanked by the arm. Police report says she was yanked by the arm https://t.co/bS3P9BLBpS https://t.co/BRyjBYCso5

Trump fans won't even notice that these two back-to-back tweets are inconsistent. https://t.co/Um8n8Ae09b

You mean when she & witness released the audio immediately after it occurred and claimed he did it? https://t.co/hdQWVLMKkR

This makes no sense. Her earliest statements were her saying she was assaulted by your campaign manager. https://t.co/NNVN8X8MO1

Probably because you initially dismissed her accusation and said she made everything up. Her story's been consistent https://t.co/6CDelikEx3

You mean the contemporaneous audio? https://t.co/Uk6b2h0zOH

Maybe someone should take away his aide's iPhone for a while. https://t.co/fD7TmG3neL

That sounds like a good idea.
