JUPITER — Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump campaign manager, was charged this morning with misdemeanor battery after allegations of forcefully grabbing a reporter at a Jupiter news conference, town police confirmed this morning.

Following a March 8 conference at Trump National Golf Club, Michelle Fields, a 28-year-old reporter formerly with the online Breitbart News Network, said she was grabbed on the arm by Lewandowski, 41, after she asked Trump a question about affirmative action.

Washington Post reporter Ben Terris wrote that he witnessed the battery.

Jupiter police later said they were looking into the incident after Fields filed a report, although investigators had not named Lewandowski.

Lewandowski turned himself in to Jupiter police just after 8 a.m., according to a police report.

It's what he does!

6. I'm surprised it went down like this

The newsroom is going crazy here. This is in my backyard, so it's funny that we were there to see the actual altercation.

3. Actually this gives the Trump gang

street cred. It is only a positive for him.

4. Yup.

The Big Lewandowski is a political prisoner.

5. Normally, a candidate would suffer as a result of this.

Trump, on the other hand, will probably get a boost in the polls. Up is down and down is up.

7. I wish the media would catch on to this and stop giving him free airtime

but I guess it is all about ratings.

8. Head of CBS said that they'll continue to push Trump because of ratings and $$$

Even though he also said that Trump is bad for America.
