Hadas Gold writes in Politico,:
Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski forcibly yanked Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields out of the way after his press conference in Florida on Tuesday night.
Fields was attempting to ask Trump a question as he exited the press conference. Secret Service was starting to clear a path, when Fields was forcibly grabbed on her arm by Lewandowski, moving her out of the way and nearly bringing her down to the ground, a source who witnessed the situation told POLITICO.

@Jamie_Weinstein @MichelleFields And you have zero proof of that ludicrous claim. @CLewandowski_ is a nice guy
— Michael Healey (@MikeyHealey92) March 9, 2016
Fields hasn’t mentioned the alleged incident on her Twitter account, nor has Lewandowski, nor has Donald Trump — which doesn’t prove anything.
Hey @CLewandowski_, respond. Or apologize. Now. @Jamie_Weinstein @MichelleFields
