Trump on @CLewandowski_ viral video: I give him credit for having spirit, he wanted them to take down those horrible, profanity-laced signs.

As we told you yesterday, Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s campaign manager, was spotted yet again taking the hands-on approach when it came to dealing with a protester at a rally.

Trump was asked about his campaign manager this morning on ABC’s This Week:

Not everybody agrees that “spirit” is the proper word for how Lewandowski takes matters into hand:

@shushwalshe
"We've got spirit how bout you"
*puts in headlock*
"WE'VE got spirit how bout YOU"
*throws chair*
"NO, WE GOT-
*melee*

The Hell's Angels at Altamont were pretty spirited, too. @brianstelter https://t.co/GFlmp1TVJu

There's a word in the criminal code for that type of spirit. https://t.co/2NoIRft6iM

Committing assault is not "having spirit." https://t.co/0vjx0m03rB
