Reporter Says She Was 'Jolted' and 'Yanked' by Donald Trump's Campaign Manager
Source: ABC News
The Breitbart News reporter who was allegedly assaulted by Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski at a campaign news conference Tuesday night is speaking out about the incident for the first time in a new op-ed posted to the news outlet's website overnight.
Michelle Fields, who covers politics for Breitbart, says she was "jolted backwards" after she posed a question to the Republican front-runner.
"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. Nonetheless, I was shaken," Fields writes in the post.
Fields did not see who pulled her but said The Washington Posts Ben Terris allegedly identified the aggressor as Lewandowski.

(43,182 posts)First, Trump picks a feud with Megyn Kelly and Fox News. And now he's got his campaign manager beating up Breitbart "News" reporters.
Jeez, I hate to see what he'd do to people who might actually be critical of his mindset.
