Trump Does Mock Dramatic Reading of Michelle Fields Statement at CNN Town Hall

Donald Trump seriously kicked off his appearance at CNN’s GOP town hall tonight by––and I’m not kidding here––doing a mock dramatic reading of Michelle Fields‘ original statement on what happened when Corey Lewandowski grabbed her.

Cooper asked Trump about Lewandowski blatantly lying about touching Fields before being charged with battery over it today. Trump said, “I don’t know what ‘touch’ means.”

He proceeded to read off her claims of how she was yanked by his campaign manager and almost fell, peppered with mocking little comments like “Give me a break” and “She didn’t even have any expression” and “She had no trouble with her balance.”

Trump also made the claim that Fields grabbed his arm, which is something Trump only started saying today.

Oh, and Trump also reacted to Fields having a pen in her hand by saying it could have been “a little bomb” for all he knew at the time.
