You’re both wrong. First, the video that all the Trump supporters kept claiming PROVES that she was lying did nothing of the sort. It showed what looked to be Lewandowski grabbing her, just as she said. Then, all the Trump supporters missed THIS video, conveniently, which clearly shows that it was Lewandowski who grabbed her and yanked her backwards. Her direction of travel immiediately went from moving in the direction Trump was moving to moving backwards, and she stumbled.

Florida 784.03 defines simple battery (or misdemeanor battery) in the following way:
Any actual and intentional touching or striking of another person against that person’s will (non-consensual), or
The intentional causing of bodily harm to another person.
Note that it’s either/or. There doesn’t have to be intent to harm - the only requirement is an intentional act of touching someone against their will. Clearly, Lewandowski touched her against her will, , and although injury is not a requirement for misdemeanor battery, he grabbed her hard enough to leave marks on her arm. It was not in some kind of casual, accidental way, like if he were brushing past her in a crowd. None of the common battery defenses fit what happened in that situation. That’s not to say that he will be arrested for it, but it’s utter BS on the part of Lewandowski and all of his minions to suggest that nothing happened in that encounter, which, if you’ll recall, has been his defense - that he never touched her at all.
GFY!!! You are wrong as usual.
That is one of the many videos I’ve seen. Means nothing. She just stepped backwards as they were passing through.
Cry wolf somewhere else.

"Clearly shows"? LOL! Stumbled? I guess Cruzers see what they want to see. What you cannot see in that video is that she had stuff in her hand including her phone and a pen, and she was reaching towards a candidate under Secret Service protection. Considering Glenn Beck had already previously let loose a threat at Trump and security was no doubt high, this campaign manager or most likely the Secret Service agent who may have grabbed her arm did her a favor. She violated security protocol and could easily have been tackled or at least forcibly shoved aside.
No, what actually happened in there is like one of the thousands of interactions we experience each and every day. Have you never been outside your house? Been on a bus, at a concert or play or in a crowd at a baseball game? Walked the streets of NYC or on a subway platform? My God man.
Use your head. This was the post-debate press mess in a room containing more cameras than a bank vault or a casino floor. Who in their right mind would "assault" someone in there and then deny it! Apparently you actually believe that this guy wanted to "intentionally cause bodily harm" to someone for no reason like a crazy person.
That video, which itself is an edit that removes the few seconds before and after that show the totality of the momentum of those people walking through the room, still makes the case that nothing happened. Actually what it shows is a lazy daydreaming reporterette trying to get herself a last chance question with the candidate she never bothered to question earlier ( this is supported by a description of her from a Cruz supporter who knows her ).
I have noticed that the anarchist enemy ANONYMOUS group is busy taking down lots of the evidence exposing this gold-digger. See this Post here at FreeRepublic. They must think we didn't save all this stuff?!
Cruzers are letting their TDS get the better of them, yet again. They have now found themselves aligned with ANONYMOUS and ISIS ( who are promoted in the replacement images and videos being substituted by ANONYMOUS ) and most likely Soros as well.
One of the most infamous and effective tactics of the (D)ummycrats is to snipe the highest ranking closest advisers of their (R)epublicrat enemies. This is why durng the Reagan administration they went full bore after Donald Regan, Ed Meese, Cap Weinberger and Bill Casey ( and many more ). It is all about getting high profile scalps on the wall. They even tried it with Bush43 with Rove and Cheney/Libby. The fact that Trump isn't playing this game is a very GOOD thing. He is systematically neutralizing their entire arsenal of weapons that have always been effective and reliable methods of controlling their enemies.
Cruz has been a real putz lately. He is literally allying himself with our enemies now, enemies who he allegedly is well aware of being such an astute lawyer and politician and patriot. The mere fact that he participated in the Mississippi smear attempt of a New Yorker with the KKK nonsense should make you immediately pause and take stock of this crap and consider that Cruz has been turned to the darkside.
