Remember when Michelle Fields lied about former Trumpcampaign managerCorey Lewandowski? The MSM, moderate Republicans and pretty much everyone attacked Lewandowski for assaulting Michelle Fields. Ben Shapiro even quit Breitbart.com over the incident while also accusing Lewandowski of assault.
Joe Biden just did the exact same thing as Lewandowski, he grabbed a woman by the arm. Yet, no one is drawing the same comparisons of assault like they did with Lewandowski.
In case you forgot, Lewandowski was charged and cleared in that incident after a video surfaced of Michelle Fields violating a security perimeter. Joe Biden just grabbed a woman forcefully at a campaign event after she asked him a question. She, unlike Michelle Fields, didn’t break any rules or violate security. — Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/caseythehost
I’m frankly surprised (though not really) that in the era of #MeToo we have CNN’s Jim Acosta saying he didn’t lay a hand on a White House staffer during a tense exchange with President Trump this week. Even more unsettling is that so many verified ‘journalist’s’ social media accounts are saying he never laid a hand on her.
Well this is not complicated. @PressSec has patently misrepresented what happened here. White House aide aggressively tries to take the mic from @Acosta and he never lays a hand on her. The truth still matters. https://t.co/MsWwlTGTd2
For Barbaro’s claim to be evaluated we need two things.
First, we need the dictionary definition of ‘palm.’
palm noun (2)
1 : the somewhat concave part of the human hand (emphasis mine) between the bases of the fingers and the wrist or the corresponding part of the forefoot of a lower mammal
So, according to the English language and basic biology, the palm is a part of the human hand. I know this was confusing for some of you. I’m glad to have cleared that up. After all, biology is not biology anymore.
Second, we need the video of the incident. The incident happens at 1:30 of the video.
I shared the direct video from C-SPAN’s own YouTube channel because there’s a conspiracy theory that this video is doctored, or that a third party has made the video more ‘violent’ than it actually was. C-SPAN has not altered any video of the event that I’m aware of. So their video is not in dispute.
Let’s look at Jim Acosta‘s Judo chop (Karate chop, knife hand strike, hurray pop culture reference) to the woman’s arm in a loop:
You can clearly see Acosta Judo chop her arm with his palm. We’ve already established that the palm is a part of the human hand. Therefore, Acosta laid a hand on this woman and used some force in doing so. Something the video clearly shows. It’s undeniable. Yet, is being shamefully denied by members of the media. One might call that denial FAKE NEWS!
Barbaro actually shared a link with the video that proved his claim wrong for crying out loud.
Remember when Trump aide Corey Lewindowski was charged with ‘unwanted touching’ for grabbing reporter Michelle Fields? Remember how she lied about what happened and the media crucified him? She wasn’t injured either and he used similar force to Acosta.
Wouldn’t this qualify for ‘unwanted touching?’
Shouldn’t the media come down on Acosta like they did Lewindowski? Acosta violated the rules, refused to give up the microphone, rebuffed several passive attempts she made to get the microphone back, and finally, Judo chopped her arm when she attempted to forcefully get the mic from someone refusing to obey the rules. She was just doing her job and he, in fact, laid a hand on her.
Gas station convenience store owners are upset about legislation headed to Gov. Rick Snyder that would let grocery stores with gas stations sell beer and wine.
He’s technically charged with ‘unwanted touching’ which is a questionable charge given that security has the right to ‘touch’ you if you aren’t obeying them, whether you want them to or not. No, technically, he isn’t security, but he is a staff member who has the ability to shield the candidate.
Analysis of the smoke from conventional cigarettes showed that the mainstream cigarette smoke delivered approximately 1500 times more harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) tested when compared to e-cigarette aerosol or to puffing room air. The deliveries of HPHCs tested for these e-cigarette products were similar to the study air blanks rather than to deliveries from conventional cigarettes; no significant contribution of cigarette smoke HPHCs from any of the compound classes tested was found for the e-cigarettes. Thus, the results of this study support previous researchers’ discussion of e-cigarette products’ potential for reduced exposure compared to cigarette smoke.
When I spoke to David Peyton, one of the study’s authors, he insisted that the study had been mischaracterized. All it was meant to do, he said, was compare the levels of formaldehyde in e-cigarettes versus cigarettes. “It is exceedingly frustrating to me that we are being associated with saying that e-cigarettes are more dangerous than cigarettes,” he added. “That is a fact not in evidence.” Well, maybe.
The Department of Justice has dropped its case against Apple. After over a month of court motions, congressional hearings and public fights over circumventing the security of the iPhone 5C used by San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook, the government has decided it doesn’t need Apple after all. Instead, the third party brought in to break Apple’s encryption has been successful according to court documents.
Warner Bros. on Monday revised down the film’s weekend gross by $4 million, lowering it from the Sunday estimate of $170.1 million to $166.1 million. Such corrections are common, though the difference for “Batman v Superman” was slightly more than normal and had an effect on the film’s place in the record books.
The incident occurred only a few weeks after the men had received refugee status. They applied for the status back in August and October, telling the Immigration Bureau of Japan that they did not want to return to Turkey due to “problems that exist between relatives.”
A judge has rejected Indiana‘s request that she put on hold her order against Republican Gov. Mike Pence’s efforts to bar state agencies from helping Syrian refugees.

At Sherwood Forest Elementary School on Federal Way, Ms. Callender’s second and third grade classes decided to create the Buddy Spot to tackle loneliness.
“We should regulate tobacco products proportionate to their risks, and e-cigarette evidence suggests they’re less risky products,” said the Cornell study‘s lead author Dr. Michael F. Pesko. “While there’s some risk, it would be a mistake to regulate them the same way we regulate cigarettes.”
“One of the biggest challenges we face as an industry – and one that our industry has been outflanked on up until this point – is the rampant misinformation disseminated about our technology,” says Tony Abboud, VTA national legislative director.
Video now proves that Fields exaggerated the story for some strange reason.
New video shows the contact (yes, contact was made), but it appears she may be embellishing a bit. Don’t know if the bruises are legit or not, but she wasn’t nearly thrown down to the ground as had been alleged.
