Breitbart reporter to Trump: Imagine if I were your daughter

The Breitbart reporter is pushing back on the tactics of the businessman's campaign after Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski reportedly grabbed her arm at a press conference earlier this week.

"I would just ask him to just put himself in my shoes and imagine if I was his daughter," Fields said during her interview with ABC's Tom Llamas for an interview on "World News Tonight."

Trump's campaign earlier Thursday denied that there was a physical altercation between Trump's campaign manager and the reporter, who said she was attempting to ask Trump a question about affirmative action when she was nearly pulled down in the "jarring" incident.

Washington Post reporter Ben Terris wrote that he witnessed the incident, saying Lewandowski grabbed Field's arm and "yanked" her away from Trump. Terris and Fields are heard in audio discussing the incident.

His excuse was that he didn't know she was from Breitbart. That's what he actually said. nt tblue37 Mar 2016 #3

Just imagine what he would do to someone from a legit news organization that might actually seriously challenge his policies.
