From Politico: “Lewandowski was fired as Trump’s campaign manager in June after manhandling a reporter…”
The histrionic reporter, Michelle Fields, after being twice warned by Secret Service, kept touching Donald Trump and Lewandowski brushed her aside as he walked past.
Piers Morgan writes: “Toughen up! The video of Donald Trump’s campaign manager ‘assaulting’ a female reporter is ridiculous. A man would have been condemned as a laughing stock for complaining.”
Politico:
Ironically, despite Lewandowski’s reputation for encouraging Trump’s impulses and the elevation of fellow outsiders like Bannon at the expense of Washington veteran Manafort, the resurgence of Lewandowski’s influence coincides with the most disciplined, on-message stretch of Trump’s candidacy.
Trump Tower Kremlinologists see in Lewandowski’s reengagement signs that Trump’s adult children and son-in-law Jared Kushner — who engineered his ouster and urged Manafort on their father — are ceding ground as Trump turns to a bevy of aides loyal to his influential mega-donors Bob and Rebekah Mercer.
