Did you think this went away, loyal Trumpkins? It did not go away. It is not going away.
Lulu Ramadan, Palm Beach Post:
Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump campaign manager, was charged this morning with misdemeanor battery after allegations of forcefully grabbing a reporter at a Jupiter news conference, town police confirmed this morning…
Lewandowski turned himself in to Jupiter police just after 8 a.m., accoriding to a police report.

“He didn’t do it! Michelle Fields is just making it up! (Also, it doesn’t matter that he did it, because it’s no big deal.)” Have fun with that one, Trumpkins.
Corey Lewandowski is a creep and a thug. He hurt a woman, and then he smeared her professional reputation when she spoke up about it. I fully expect Donald Trump to give him a big fat raise.
@MichelleFields you are totally delusional. I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.

Update: Toldja so.

Update: “Our candidate is mental. Do you realize our candidate is mental? It’s like constantly having to bail out your 16 year old son from prison.” — Ann Coulter
Update: Well, look who’s on a first-name basis with the guy.
Update: Trump likes to talk about “Lyin’ Ted.” I think we should start calling his campaign manager #CoreyLyindowski.
Update: Who ya gonna believe, your lyin’ eyes, or…
Wow, Corey Lewandowski, my campaign manager and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter. Look at tapes-nothing there!

Why aren't people looking at this reporters earliest statement as to what happened, that is before she found out the episode was on tape?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 29, 2016
Update: First she was lying because she didn’t file a police report and there was no video. Now she’s filed a police report, and…
So now you’ll have to find some other way to soothe that cognitive dissonance, morons. Allahpundit puts it best: “You’ll never talk someone out of believing something they really want to believe.”
Update: Lyindowski’s lawyer sounds like a real treat too.
Update: I don’t like being lied to, whether the liar has a (D) or an (R) after his name. If you’re okay with what Trump is doing, you suck.
Because my story never changed. Seriously, just stop lying. https://t.co/1fz9cBHOuT

Update: This tactic is gonna work great when President Trump uses it against Putin.
