Wow, Corey Lewandowski, my campaign manager and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter. Look at tapes-nothing there!
Donald Trump (his Twittah feed)
again, I miss the good shit, when I’m about to jet
“Corey Lewandowski is going to beat this,” Pierson said. “He will plead not guilty and we will have to let the process play out.”
Pierson used the same unfortunate turn of the phrase later on in the interview.
“This is absurd, it’s ridiculous and it will be beat,” she said.
Translated: Outside of maybe bringing Roger Stone back, they don’t have anyone who can step in and do that job.
When speaking of battery charges …
“Corey Lewandowski is going to beat this,” Pierson said.
Excellent choice of words.
“This is absurd, it’s ridiculous and it will be beat,” she said.
Ditto.
Yeah, Charles Manson is otherwise occupied.
When CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked if Lewandowski would be fired in the event that he’s convicted of a misdemeanor for allegedly roughing up a reporter, Pierson replied "yes" without hesitation.
Am I missing something here? The way this question is phrased and Pierson's reply contradicts the entire rationale of the headline.Trump is doubling down on violence, misogyny and stupidity.
Hillary will crush him.
It is not YOU who is missing something. It is the spokesmoron who is missing something. It is called a cerebral cortex.
In fact, this has gone so well that Trump will now put him on a bonus incentive plan…
“Donald Trump’s national spokeswoman said Tuesday that embattled top aide Corey Lewandowski would stay with the campaign even if he’s convicted of a criminal battery charge.”
I hereby serve public notice of de facto trademark rights to the name: “Trump: The Musical.”
The libretto’s constantly changing, but with luck, we debut Off-Off-Off-Broadway next January.
Or, depending on how things go in November, at an internment camp to be named later.
“Who am I to fire my campaign manager for violence when I myself exhort my followers to “punch” people, have them taken out on stretchers and promise to cover their legal fees for committing crimes of violence?”
Good point, Donald.
Mediaite posts this perfect story about the attorney representing Lewandowski:
“Here’s The Miami Herald summary of the incident…(The attorney) was ejected from the club after his failed attempt to kiss the stripper ended with him biting her instead, he used a credit card to pay the $900 bill. Later he sent his father to the bar to buy the credit-card slip back at a premium price of $1,200, which tipped the irate stripper and her even-more-irate husband off that they’d been dealing with someone anxious to conceal his identity. Their complaints eventually attracted an investigators from the office of the U.S. Justice Department’s inspector general.”
One could not make this stuff up.
(Katrina) Pierson added, " … because that’s just how much respect our campaign has for the truth and our justice system."
Man, if this is the way the Trump campaign will be run in the general election, I really, truly hope he gets the Republican nomination.
Fuck the popcorn. Give me a can of honey-roasted cashews and a gallon of Edy’s Spumoni ice cream!
A saying from The Old Country, Uzbekistan or Ukraine maybe, I forget which 
. says the fish rots from the head on. This is that wisdom coming alive.
If you’re missing it steviedee, so am I. The quotes as shown seem to indicate that the message is:
A) Lendowski is an integral part of the team and we fully support him through this ordeal
and
B) He’s going to be fired immediately if he is convicted
Not sure where the headline is coming from; maybe the full interview gives a clearer picture of the Trumpbot’s message.
And I say that the lead in that musical should be given to Rosie O’Donnell, although she will have to gain about 75 pounds and wear prosthetic little Doonese Maharelle baby-doll hands to truly do the role justice.
