The knee-jerk reaction of calling her 'delusional' and saying she is lying goes a long way towards escalating this incident. That is all on the trump side. This is how trump will react to anything he sees as crossing him in any way. Couldn't take a minute to see what might have actually happened, but immediately belittled the alleged victim.

So, the trump followers are all out there piling on to blame the victim. Would it be different if the alleged victim was a man? Y'll would be calling him a pansy who couldn't take a little jostling, right? And, the 'girls shouldn't be out there with the boys' c r a p that y'all are spreading is just frosting on the cake.

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. Apparently Michelle fields thinks this "assault" was the worst experience of her life, other than her father's death. Unbelievable.

"Trump acknowledged the question, but before he could answer I was jolted backwards. Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance."

Did you see any of that jolting, yanking or falling backward when you watched the video? Maybe she should cover the flower show in her next job.
Maybe she was just engaging in the hyperbole that Trump himself is so very fond of using.

Yeah, that's a bit too much. A drama queen.

Who wants a boss like Cruz who throws you under a bus right away while Cruz himself is liar and thief of votes!
Trump should also fire his campaign manager if he didn't want his campaign to be associated with forceful bullying; however, seeing as Trump's campaign pretty much is entirely founded on forceful bullying, it makes sense that he'd defend such behavior.

According to Trump, his arm has never been the same after she grabbed it and tried to throw him to the ground

This incident is going to make a lot of people look like idiots, and that includes the media and Cruz & Kachic campaigns.

Sort of like President Obama and Shirley Sherrod.
I believe in sticking by your employees unless the considered facts show otherwise.

the woman was extremely close to Trump while Trump was walking away, the manager, took her arm and pulled her back....yup, he definitely beat her up all right....

The considered facts show that Lewandowski likes to get out into the crowd and personally manhandle people, which is not what a campaign manager should be known for.

and the media this morning, was reporting on the terrible violence at the Trump rallys....using this as an example, and the woman who was sprayed with pepper spray...

and they are still mind you, still trying to put the blame on Trump for this so called violence, interviewing Cruz, Bernie, and Hillary....

are American's still that stupid, to believe this garbage?
