Absolute load of horseshit, but well done on uncritically sucking up the horseshit.

Video is there, there is no assault. Her and Shapiro have also been strongly #NeverTrump and Breitbart editorials are mostly pro-trump, just like every newspaper editorial I've ever seen, they've endorsed a candidate but rather than just doing their jobs these people decided to make themselves the story and try to smear Trump on their way out the door.

That was her being violently thrown to the ground apparently.

I believe Shapiro is aiming for greener pastures (Fox), as for Fields I have no idea on the recruiting for Breitbart, I guess you could email them if you want to know. Apparently (and I'd need to look into this further) Fields has a history of making herself the story.

She has some light bruises, get her to hospital right away. :roll: Did you see the video of her 'assault', at worst it was a forceful removal of her from Trump's personal space, there are probably hundreds of reporters this happens to every day (not just Trump, I mean everywhere). The whole thing was a hit piece from the start. I followed this pretty closely because I used to really like Shapiro, but he's gone off the deep end a bit lately.

Anyway, not really the thread for it.

^Hmm, okay. I'm not getting into that issue. I was only stirring Wokko because he's a Breitbart man. My mistake for getting into it!

Personally, and as far as chain marks go as the ancestor of an English convict transported to Australia, **** the poms. I'll hang shit on the poor saps who live on that cold, wet little rock whenever the opportunity strikes.

They can sit back and claim some form of credit for past history and what they did way back when but shit, Greece did a lot more and look at the fkn mess they're in now.

Live in the present.
