The Campaign: One thing the rest of the presidential candidates agree on is that Donald Trump’s rhetoric is causing violence at his campaign events.

Press Gang: A reporter for the right wing Breitbart News has resigned saying her organization didn’t back her up after she claimed she had been manhandled by one of Donald Trump’s aides.

Reporters covering Trump, like heckling opponents, have been treated like enemies and Fields is one of at least two thrown to the ground. Breitbart bosses publicly questioned Fields’ account of the incident, despite backup from witnesses, and ordered staff members not to talk about it. An editor who resigned in the wake of the incident said Breitbart Chairman Steve Bannon “has shaped the company into Trump’s personal Pravda,” a reference to the old Soviet newspaper “Truth.”

Dept. of Dubious Endorsements: Former Cincinnati Reds great Pete Rose, who was banned from baseball for life after betting on his own games, endorsed Donald Trump for President with a signed baseball saying, “Mr. Trump, Please make America Great Again.
