So weird. pic.twitter.com/oD8c4D7tw3  Michelle Fields (@MichelleFields) March 10, 2016Lewandowski denied the claim, and linked to several websites that alleged that Fields was simply seeking attention and publicity. He also called the reporter  delusional. Donald Trump himself said: Everybody said nothing happened. Perhaps she made the story up. Breitbart, who has faced allegations that it is financially allied with Trump, published a story casting doubt on Fields. Internal communications from staffers slamming Breitbart were leaked, and Fields and editor Ben Shapiro publicly resigned from the site.A few days later, Lewandowski was involved in another incident, in which he appeared to physically grab someone at a Trump rally. Here s video that moment:Here is Donald Trump's campaign manager in the Tucson crowd grabbing the collar of a protester. pic.twitter.com/JZ9RntWlHY  Jacqueline Alemany (@JaxAlemany) March 19, 2016The Trump campaign again denied what happened.Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said Lewandowski wasn t the one responsible, instead placing the blame on a man standing to the left of Lewandowski. The man seen to the left of Lewandowski in the video is a member of Trump s private security.Despite these incidents, the mainstream media has shied away from directly asking and confronting Trump about his top staffer s apparent habit of manhandling people. Maybe they ll ask now?Featured image via Twitter
