Digital cameras/cell phones are cheap. For their own protection, the Trump team should be taking video at all times.

Wow! I didn’t know of the Alan West allegations. The woman is now proven to be a liar. Her career should be over.

Shapiro has been very anti-Trump with every breath on radio.

Glad he was let go.

Good insight into this hoax & the larger forces at play that are behind this set-up of Trump & his manager. Feels like I’m watching an episode of “House of Cards”. These 2 dupes had establishment help....reporters stepped in & lied, FOX ran with it & Megan Kelly did a show on it. Cruz picked up on it & used it. None of this was an accident.

I am not so sure I believe Ms. Fields. I don’t believe this happened to her either ......

Ben was/is working with his marching orders to disrupt Trump. His scam with the lady reporter was part of a “show” to feed into the anti-Trump hysteria before Tuesday’s vote. We are now seeing, in many respects for the first time....the invisible hands of the degenerate class that keeps our borders open, steals our jobs, gives us negative interest rates to steal our savings & props up all these so-called conservatives sites like NRO & think tanks like Cato or the Club for Growth.

Ask yourselves what Rush was doing at a secret meeting with Chuck Schumer in 2011 about helping get an amnesty bill through congress ? Have you listed to Rush in the last month....he sounds unhinged. We have been played.

Obviously this phony incident was a political dirty trick with a conspiracy of at least several people behind it. Someone put them up to this. It has GOPe all over it.

This election cycle, Lying Cruz has influenced his supporters to also lie. Whatever it takes

The video is clear evidence that she was grabbed with force.

And the bruises (if they match Lewandowski's hand size) suggest excessive force. If Breitbart editor Steve Bannon thought she were lying, why wouldn't he fire Fields? It looks like he just wanted to try to discredit her on Trump's behalf, but he bungled it, because no professional editor would ever contradict his own reporters without getting them to either retract their story or be fired.

Trump supporters demanded videos because the initial story was suspicious. It turned out Trump supporters were right and all the Cruz supporters who took Michelle Fields side were wrong

It is called 'the art of the deal'. Resignations, a whimper, and a hope for no libel suit from Lewandowski... The video does not show this broad's claims and time to cauterize the bleed.

We know several of the reporters names who were involved in this. We know FOX had some kind of hand in it, or at least Megan Kelly did, since she fashioned a prime-time show around this set-up. Cruz jumped on it, but that may have just been an opportunistic situation on his part.

There are large forces at play here. I suspect there will be massive disruptions coming for future Trump rallies.

I have a feeling it’s going to be a very bumpy road to November, not counting the dimocraps.

LLoyld Grove should also lose his job but he won’t. This is what the media do all the time. They cover each other backs when running a narrative to destroy Republican and making up sources and lying about conversation that never took place

We are in for some really bad times, but the public is seeing, & perhaps understanding, for the first time just what kind of people inhabit our political class.

Was just watching a youtube of another reporter who had resigned from there because he believed Fields.

Anti-Trump nitwit that said he was a republican.

He will continue to believe the lie.

I'll look into Lloyd Grove.

Sickening.

Thanks.
