Everyone’s aware by now that former Breitbart reporter and former “Cashin’ In” contributor Michelle Fields has alleged that Donald Trump’s campaign manager grabbed her arm hard enough to leave bruises when she approached Trump to ask a question. Lewandowski hasn’t been fired from the campaign; in fact, Trump took a moment during his last victory speech to thank Lewandowski, who was directly behind him on stage.
At a Trump rally in Tucson, Ariz., Saturday, Lewandowski got a little handsy with a protester in the crowd, grabbing his collar. Of course it was caught on video — video you’ll likely see on endless loop tomorrow on cable news.

Worth noting that Lewandowski is with one of Trump's private security guards who is in plain clothes here https://t.co/FA33sLqQvH

Why is a campaign manager engaging directly with protestors in the first place, much less getting physical? https://t.co/RRRpYcDIrZ

Trump supporter or not, that’s a valid question. Aren’t there security personnel to deal with this sort of thing? One thing’s for sure: the collar grab and the campaign’s statement aren’t sitting well with those not on the Trump Train.

Can't wait for the @BreitbartNews explainer on this one.

@JaxAlemany who is this guy? how has he become Trump's enforcer? Why is he walking the crowd with his own thug?

Trump could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and his campaign would put out a statement blaming "the man to his left": https://t.co/XUjJFshtGw

Trump knows if he lies brazenly, unapologetically, an MSM which desperately NEEDS him for ratings won't call him out https://t.co/bu8SZMppEG

If that collar grab was violent, we’re not sure how to describe another confrontation caught on video.
