For a lot of tweeters, “disappointed” isn’t nearly as forceful a condemnation as they believe this situation warrants.

@Hadas_Gold @lachlan pretty much a kid glove statement. Would have been much different if it were any other campaign.

@BradThor @MichelleFields @BreitbartNews @CLewandowski_ yet Breitbart barely issues a muted statement. #fail

@EWErickson they might as well be saying "Michelle is great but…"

Look, Breitbart leadership, don't you need to stand up for yourselves? After all you've done for Trump? pic.twitter.com/uipdP03zMo

Does anyone actually expect Lewandowski to apologize at this point?
What’s the point of demanding that Lewandowski apologize when he’s now made clear that it’d be insincere?

@Hadas_Gold @allahpundit why just apologize? They should call for his resignation.

@EWErickson @DylanByers If another campaign mgr had done this, there would rightfully be calls for criminal charges, not apologies.

Apologies are wildly insufficient. https://t.co/owi4fRFEGt

@EWErickson BTW, just an apology?? For assault? In the real world actual employers fire employees for this

@mviser @philipaklein You don't apologize for assault. You are arrested for it. @tedcruz @marcorubio

.@mviser @philipaklein Apology?? As Andrew Breitbart used to yell out, "Shame"! "Shame"! "Shame"!
