Breitbart Spokesman Quits As Video Emerges Appearing to Show Trump Manager Grabbing Reporter
The spokesman for Breitbart resigned Friday afternoon as video emerged appearing to show Donald Trump’s campaign manager grabbing reporter Michelle Fields at a Tuesday press conference, a charge the Republican front-runner and his manager flatly denied.
Kurt Bardella said in a statement that he chose to resign as spokesman for Breitbart because he could no longer “give 100 percent” to the people he represented.
“My own personal observation is that there is a cycle of behavior that is escalating and it’s happening exclusively at Donald Trump events,” he said. “It is wrong, disgusting and indicative of an ugliness that is contaminating the public and political discourse in our country.”
“Life is too short to invest your time in things you don’t believe and aren’t passionate about,” he added. “That is why I made the decision to resign from representing Breitbart.”

Andrew would be proud of you! He’s rolling over in his grave at the thought that Trump is being supported by “Breitbart” News! He warned about Trump in NO UNCERTAIN words.
Pray for righteousness to be restored and for the peace of Jerusalem
Remarkable. @donlemon asks former @BreitbartNews consultant @kurtbardella "are you saying they're lying?" "Yes". https://t.co/wBUKGNEamL

I saw the tweet from Lewandowski… calling the reporter “totally delusional”. Wow, I think I was called those very words, “totally delusional”, by some brownshirt Sturmtrumpen on the day I was eliminated from FR.
