TRUMPED: Campaign Chief Corey Lewandowski Charged With Battery

This is mishandling the press.

Donald Trump has as a love-hate relationship with the press. He needs them for his free media campaign but doesn’t enjoy talking to them. They want his orange creamsicle skin on their airwaves but don’t mind bashing in his skull for the random flung talking point.

However, this could be taking it up a notch in terms of media relations.

Corey Lewandowski, Donald’s campaign manager and right-hand guy, has been charged with simple battery and arrested in Florida for his physical handling of former Breitbart political reporter Michelle Fields.

The Palm Beach Post discusses the initial claim in Jupiter County about the 28-year-old reporter alleging Lewandowski left “bruises on her arm” after forcibly inserting herself into a throng of supporters to ask Trump a question about affirmative action.
