Ben Shapiro Again Stands with Wrong Side Against President Trump – He Can’t Determine Difference Between Non-Abuse and Abuse
During the 2016 election, Ben Shapiro sided with Michelle Fields in her bogus accusations that Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski abused reporter her at a campaign event.
Yesterday Shapiro sided with abuser Jim Acosta from CNN. What is wrong with Ben’s abuse barometer?
Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields made headlines in 2016 when she claimed Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski grabbed her and threw her down on the ground at a Jupiter, Florida Trump campaign victory speech.
Video proved that Fields exaggerated the story for some strange reason.
The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor was in the room at the time and did not see the incident in question. He was the last reporter to film Corey closing up the event with reporters.

Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields filed criminal assault charges with Jupiter, Florida police against Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski several days after the incident. Fields claimed she suffered a slight bruise when Lewandowski “intentionally” assaulted her.
Video released showed a fragmented version of Lewandowski walking past Fields.

Another video was eventually released that showed Lewandowski walking past Fields. No contact was made. She didn’t even flinch.
Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit, spoke with Corey Lewandowski at the time who cautioned the anti-Trump crowd from pushing this story further.
Eventually Michelle Fields and Ben Shapiro resigned from Breitbart. Shapiro was upset that Breitbart did not take the sham story seriously enough.
Yesterday at a press conference CNN’s Jim Acosta hit a young woman staffer who attempted to take the microphone out of Acosta’s hand.
This too was captured on camera –

But for some strange reason Ben Shapiro stood up for Jim Acosta from CNN. Corey Lewandowski challenged Shapiro for his hypocrisy –
.@benshapiro clearly didn’t see what happened. Why would he let the facts get in the way. What @SHSanders45 wrote is exactly what happened. Guess it’s okay when it’s a “Memeber of the Club” #Hypocrite https://t.co/fnq40QwADH
