Kurt Bardella, a political consultant who resigned Friday as spokesman for Breitbart News over the organizations's handling of the Michelle Fields-Corey Lewandowski situation, on Friday night accused his former client of lying about it.

"You're saying they're lying?" CNN host Don Lemon asked Bardella, who barely hesitated.

"Yes, I am," Bardella said.

Lemon then asked Bardella why the organization wouldn't support the allegations of its own employee, Fields, who has filed a police report against Lewandowski, who she says grabbed her arm violently. Breitbart on Friday morning ran a story suggesting someone besides Lewandowski probably was responsible for the bruises on Fields's arm, but she and Washington Post reporter Ben Terris remain steadfast that it was Lewandowski. Lewandowski and the Trump campaign have denied the entire episode and sought to impugn Fields's character.

Friday afternoon, video emerged that backed up Fields's and Terris's version of events.

Bardella said he thinks Breitbart is waffling because it simply has too much invested in Trump, who it has openly and unabashedly supported for months.

"When you've gone all in so much for a candidate, when you have that kind of skin in the game, you don't want to see that derailed," said Bardella, who added that he personally doesn't support Trump and that it was part of his problem with Breitbart.

Bardella added that Trump's treatment of violence at his rallies is "completely unbecoming of someone who wants to be president of the United States," calling it "ridiculous, absurd and ... dangerous."

"Donald Trump makes me embarrassed to say that I'm a Republican," Bardella said.

That's what I was saying.  Breitbart has bent over backwards to make Trump their guy.  How sad they can't even support their own employee after she was attacked.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

True of Trump supporters in general. Can't admit they are marks.

"Lemon then asked Bardella why the organization wouldn't support the allegations of its own employee, Fields..."

Could it be they knew something you anti-Trumpsters don't know, or smelled a rat?
Members of the anti-Trump cabal: Now that Mr Trump has sewn up the nomination, I want you to know I feel your pain.

The entire episode smells like sewer gas.

Wait.  We have not had a chance to talk. 

I have voted GOP every election since 1990.  If Trump is the nominee in 2016, I will not vote GOP for President and I fear for the down ticket GOP candidates.

Trump has actively pursued the white separatism vote.  It sickens me to see my party embrace those sick f*cks.  That is not Reagan's big tent.  That is not the party of SC Senator Scott, Dr Thomas Sowell, or Justice Thomas.

The racist charge only helps the democrats in the fall. But that's the direction the anti-Trumps decided to go  :shrug:

"I don't know David Duke. Who is David Duke. And who are those groups.  You can't just condemn groups without knowing who they are."

That's Trump in the infamous Tapper interview where he refused to disavow Duke or the KKK.

The Republican Party has for years made me embarrassed to be one.  Even the Democrats are not truly politically correct, in truth they are knife-fighters...unless, as candidate Obama said, "if they bring a knife, we'll bring a gun."

Only the Republicans are truly politically correct. And that's a complete embarrassment to be associated with.  Kinder, gentler bulls**t.

Well, you ought to feel right at home with Trump.  He threatens, bullies, cajoles, insults, swears, advocates violence, trashes women, handicapped people, Hispanics, opponents, business associates, and wives.

He's a national embarrassment and will be taken down hard if he is the nominee.

I consider your prediction to be one of the most positive things I have heard in a long time...considering you have yet to right once in this entire election season.

I feel pretty good about this prediction, since Trump has led in only one of 20 surveys taken since February.   Trump is despised by most of America and you're going to find that out in November.

"Bardella added that Trump's treatment of violence at his rallies is "completely unbecoming of someone who wants to be president of the United States," calling it "ridiculous, absurd and ... dangerous.""

15,000 people gathered at a political rally to hear Donald Trump speak and one person jumps up crying to be heard, usually coordinated with half dozen other conspirators in their disruption scheme--like participation-trophy children throwing a tantrum. Waaah, waah listen to me, listen to me. I don't like the mean man. Listen to meeee.

 :baby:

Just generating more votes for Trump.

Except it's not generating more votes for Trump. His unfavorables are higher than ever.

Wow.  The only way to deal with a protester in your reality is to beat the person.  Having security escort the person out violates your laws of reality?  Is it a physical impossibility?
