Conservative female journalists write open letter calling for Trump to fire Lewandowski
By Dylan Stableford
1 hour ago
A day after Donald Trumps campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was charged with assaulting a female reporter, more than a dozen conservative female journalists signed an open letter calling for the Republican frontrunner to fire him.
The press is to have an adversarial, yet civil approach to those in, or running, for elected office, the letter signed by 16 women from a wide range of news outlets reads. Never in this line of work is it acceptable to respond to reasonable and legitimate questioning with use of physical force.
Lewandowski was charged with simple battery stemming from a March 8 incident involving Michelle Fields, then a reporter for Breitbart News, in the ballroom of the Trump National Golf Club following a press conference there. Surveillance footage released by Jupiter, Fla., police showed Lewandowski grabbing Fields a reporter whom he previously said he never met and never touched as she approached Trump to ask him a question.
The photographs, audio, videos and witness accounts documenting the treatment of Michelle Fields by Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trumps campaign manager, are inexcusable and unprofessional, the letter continues. Donald Trump should immediately remove Lewandowski from his campaign.
Among the women calling for Lewandowskis removal: Dana Loesch, Radio America and Blaze TV host; S.E. Cupp, Daily News columnist and CNN contributor; Meghan McCain, America Now radio host and Fox News contributor; Katie Pavlich, Townhall editor and Fox News contributor, and Mary Chastain, writer for Breitbart News.

Trump is convinced that, if he backs down or admits error even once, his support will dissolve.
