Donald Trump's campaign has decided to respond to this obvious misconduct with the denial of reality, their favorite tactic other than claiming that people of color are coming to rape your white women:

The media, took this very big, very classy lie pretty well honestly.

Note, those are reporters for two of the biggest newspapers in America, the Washington Post and NY Times. Also known as "the liberal media" for some reason.

You may remember Trump's campaign manager from:

Politico found that Lewandowski has long been accused of bullying, including once calling a female colleague at AFP the c-word in front of other employees. Trump's decision to bow out of the Conservative Political Action Conference followed a "profanity-laced tirade" from Lewandowski when organizers insisted Trump's speech must be accompanied by a Q&A session.

Fox News called out Lewandowski for threatening Megyn Kelly during Trump's months-long feud with the debate moderator.

Or for bruising a female journalist's arm last week.

Trump surrounds himself with people as good as he is, it's true.

Wow, this guy is just wracking up the assault cases isn't he? How many more do you think he'll end up committing before he finally gets put in jail for one of them?

 

[Permanently A]

The video pretty clearly shows that both Corey and the security guard are pulling the protester. Can't see it any differently.

What happened with him and the female Breitbart reporter?

 

[rjinaz]

I mean I just don't get it. In the video I saw it was clearly a suit arm that grabbed the guy at the collar, a suit worn by the manager. There's really no debating that he had his hand on the collar. People can debate whether he pulled the guy back or the other guy I suppose, but the hand was clearly there.

Also, why is the campaign manager even involved in these altercations at this point? They have security. Does he enjoy it perhaps?

Got thanks by Trump for being awesome, while Michelle Fields has lost her jobs and being labeled as a malcontent by the people she supported and reported for.

Also, why is the campaign manager even involved in these altercations at this point? They have security. Does he enjoy it perhaps?

proper logic would have this person be 100 feet away from any type of conflict and have security handle it, but the actions like this and others have only strengthen support by their followers.

That's pretty damn clear.

Also, is that video being taken from a cell phone that's pointed to the screen part of a larger video camera?

I have the "political operatives should not be engaging in violence against their opponents and then obviously deny reality afterword" bias that you lack, it's true.

 

[Two Words]

People, people. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation. Like....maybe the security guard is packing one of these.

 

[rjinaz]

I give a shit. Pulled back by his collar. Really? That was necessary in your view? Choking the guy and possibly causing a more serious injury? These are not trained people/officers.

You are arguing against a Trump fan who thinks that we need to show more empathy for racists and that Trump isn't a racist. This will not end well, just ignore him.

You gave enough of a shit to post in the thread so..you do?

These legal fees are going to bankrupt Trump at the present rate.

Man, rank tags are a life saver when it comes to preventing wasting time on a poster.

I'm just sick of the non-stories involving Trump. You guys realise you're just giving him more oxygen, right?

Pathetic.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Hmm so I think it's super clear in both videos that the campaign manager had his hand on the guy's collar. However the 2nd video kind of looks like the force of the pull was coming from the security guy's [black/red coat] hand on his collar that's difficult to see from that angle.

Manager could totally have contributed to the pull though and I have no freakin' idea why a campaign manager would be putting his hands on protestors collars at all. Terrible idea.

And you have yours.

Well yeah, obviously. Why else do you think it would be a waste of time to respond to what you said?

I just clicked the tag, lol.

I don't think that's how oxygen works. Also, use the thread blocker that GAFfer made..or tell a mod you're tired of seeing these threads, and having to post in them is driving you mad.

Well he's used to being bankrupt.

 

[rjinaz]

Got to wonder if that poster was at a Trump rally and was pulled that way buy a protestor if he'd think it was "no big deal".

Would have probably created a thread asking for advice for arrest.

True..

Watching the second video, it looks like the campaign manager literally has his pinky finger in the guy's collar, and it's the other muscly dude who does the actual pulling.

Trump is giving you all more than enough material to attack him, this is just dumb.

Keep telling yourself that. Keep telling the mirror that all this stuff does is make him more likely to win the general instead of galvanizing millions to vote against him. It isn't going to make it true, no matter how many times you repeat it. This mans chances are sunk.

Thank you for posting this clip. That's pretty clear cut.

The clips in the OP made this look like such a non-issue at first.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

This. It's whoever the guy in the black/red is that pulls him back. I'm wondering wtf they were arguing about in the first place.
And just so I'm clear, fuck Trump.

Edit: It looks like maybe the guy was trying to get the girls attention so he could walk through to the security guard? Regardless if anyone did anything wrong here it looks like it's the guy in black/red. The guy in the gray suit apparently had the same feelings as the guy in black + red and touched the guy but isn't the one who actually pulled him back.

 

[Werd]

How strong is this guy? He's throwing people to the ground with slight tugs of the arm and flinging someone several feet with a pinky on the collar and casual flick of the wrist. I can only imagine the damage if he actually punches someone.
