Wow.
I asked Kurt Bardella if Breitbart will now call for Lewandowski's firing, response "I'm the wrong person to ask about breitbart." He's out.

So Kurt Bardella will be the fall guy here? Bc the unwavering pro-Trump line not set above his pay-grade?

I'm sure Bardella won't say a word to anyone about what happened. cc @MarkLeibovich

Update:
Bardella is speaking out on Twitter:
When you reach a point where you can’t give 100% to people you represent it’s not tenable to continue representing them.

My own personal observation is that there is an escalating cycle of behavior that happens only at Donald Trump events.

It is wrong and disgusting and indicative of an ugliness that is contaminating the public discourse.
