After a string of exits from the conservative news site Breitbart, the organization sent cease and desist letters to some of the former employees, Politico reported Tuesday.
Reporter Michelle Fields, editor-at-large Ben Shapiro and four other staffers resigned over the company’s handling of allegations that Republican Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski manhandled Fields.
While Politico cited multiple anonymous sources with knowledge of the letters, the report did not name which former employees received them.
Fields and Shapiro both slammed their former employer in statements issued after their resignations and appeared on Fox News‘ “The Kelly File” Monday night to talk about the controversy.
Two other staffers who resigned said the conservative site had become a pro-Trump “propaganda” outlet.
Poo FIGHT!!!

Low-lifes all. I hope all of them–the six quiting employees, the other Breitbart employees who didn’t quit, and anyone else involved with that racist lying piece of crap–have economic damage from this, legal fees, public relations problems, etc. All of 'em. The worse the better. They all deserve it for working for and promoting such a despicable outfit.
The ghost of Andrew Breitbart lives on…
When formulating a response, the ex-staffers should consider hiring a choir…
