Well that escalated quickly…
Via The Blaze:
There’s a two-word message that Breitbart Editor-At-Large Ben Shapiro believes Donald Trump should deliver to his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski: “You’re fired.”
Shapiro turned to Twitter Wednesday night to slam Lewandowski for roughing up Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields at a Florida press conference the previous night.
His tweets followed a report in The Daily Beast that revealed Fields had been left bruised after Lewandowski forcibly grabbed her by the arm and yanked her backward — a move that nearly sent her tumbling to the floor.
Shapiro’s call for Trump to fire Lewandowski seemed to represent a break in how Breitbart executives were handling the situation.
