As Donald Trump defends his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, against a battery charge, several of Trump’s backers continue to stand by the Republican presidential frontrunner, Buzzfeed News reported late Tuesday.
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), one of the first members of Congress to endorse Trump, doesn’t plan to withdraw his support for the candidate over allegations that Lewandowski manhandled a reporter, according to Hunter’s chief of staff, Joe Kasper.
“It’s for the Trump campaign to decide what to do, based on facts and not premature judgments,” Kasper told Buzzfeed News. “And even then, this will have to run its course. The Trump campaign will make the right call but I’m absolutely positive there are a lot of people with political bias who would like to see him gone from the campaign, as if that would somehow slow down Trump’s momentum. But this has no influence on Rep. Hunter’s support for Trump as a candidate.”
Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA), another Trump endorser, also said his support for the real estate mogul would not be impacted by the charge filed against Lewandowski.
“I have been interviewed by Michelle Fields and she is a complete professional,” he said in a statement to Buzzfeed News. “As a former district attorney and U.S. attorney, I know that everybody deserves there [sic] day in court. We are presumed innocent until proven guilty. I continue to support Donald Trump because he is the only candidate who has what it takes to secure our borders, protect our country from Islamic terrorists and regenerate our slumping economy after eight years of weak leadership from President Obama.”
Several other prominent Trump supporters contacted by Buzzfeed News, like Ben Carson and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, indicated that they would continue to support Trump without mentioning the incident involving Lewandowski.
I am in total agreement that our system of justice demands every accused person deserves their day in court. I do hope that all women and the dudes who care about them and what happens to them are paying attention here.
Christ on a rubber duckie, where has this guy been since 2009? Oh, that’s right, most of that time he’s been in the House of Representatives helping to keep the economic recovery as slow as possible by obstructing every move made by Obama to boost the economy.
You guys just keep it up…it was a nice career before you decided to pretend that women are liars and men never do anything women aren’t asking for…yeppers.
Take a look at these guys quoted as supporting Trump over the Lewandowski Affair
A. Rep. Duncan D. Hines- I mean ‘Hunter’ - Inherited the job his dad–Rep. Duncan L. Hunter–had of running the California 52nd.
Probably just as dumb as Hines The First. (If it’s still up, check out when Dear Old Dad was made to look like an ass a decade ago http://www.salon.com/2006/06/30/bugs/)
This is the guy who supports The Orangesicle totally on immigration, but who three years ago backed one of many proposed bills that would allow him to keep immigrants he liked in the country, such as the illegal Guatemalan who rakes his lawn, for instance.
Back in September 2013, Junior said if Obama initiated combat operations in Syria, he should be impeached. Operations the Teabaggers are SCREAMING for right now.
In November 2013, he tried to impeach former Attorney Gemeral Eric Holder.
In December 2013, he said we should nuke Iran.
In October 2014, Junior claimed that the Border Patrol is arresting Muslim terrorists constantly on the Medican border, but covering up the arrests. Hunter The Second has held no hearings on his claims, nor has he passed ANY imformation backing his claims on to law enforcement.
B. Rep. Tom Martino of the Pennsylvania 10th
Back in January 2015, Martino claimed we needed more conservative justices in the court because they would not bend to Sharia law, something that is not being done to begin with.
In August of 2014, Martino said that while she was Speaker of the House, Rep Nancy Pelosi came across the floor to personally rebut some of his comments but that she didn’t intimidate him because he’s “a street fighter.”
Back in July 2014, the street fighter’s press secretary tried to bring an unregistered gun into the Cannon Office Building.
Back in February 2013, an enraged Street Fighter tried to impeach Sen. Harry Reid because he wouldn’t agree with him on budget negotiations.
But my favorite was, while criticizing the Libya policy of President Obama, The Street Fighter said it would result in overreach.
“Where do we go next? Africa?”
He got VERY quiet after THIS:
C. Dr. Ben Carson - former pediatric surgeon
D. Gov. Chris Christie - governor of New Jersey
In a nutshell, all these guys are either kooks or unprincipled goofballs.
