Trump Aide Assaulted Right-Wing Hispanic Reporter Who Self-Identifies as White

Breitbart Reporter Michelle Fields

Breitbart reporter, Michelle Fields, might never have noticed how vulgar and raw the Trump campaign had become for non-whites until she was targeted as one herself.   Maybe if she had donned a blond wig and lighter toned make-up, there might have been less confusion about the loyalties of this young woman of mixed Honduran ancestry.  But the  mistake was compounded when she posed a question to presidential candidate, Donald Trump, beginning with the words:  "affirmative action," which only compounded the aide's assumption about her non-white identity.

Within seconds, Trump campaign manager,   Corey Lewandowski  grabbed her arm and shoved her down to the floor.   Even though Washington Post reporter Ben Terris witnessed the attack, Donald Trump insisted that the Breitbart reporter made up the incident for the sake of publicity.

But in fact, Michelle Fields, is a popular Breitbart reporter and news commentator at FOX, who has found a road to stardom with her right-wing views.  Social Security should be dismantled completely; Obama is a fraud;  people who appear to be Muslim should be profiled.  She was even featured on a popular site, Red Hot Conservative Chicks.

The altercation with Trump's aide was not the first time Michelle was sucked into a nasty incident involving her identify.    In the fall of 2013, the black conservative icon and former presidential candidate, Allan West, was accused of grabbing her breasts, referring to her as "A Jewish American Princess".

This nexus of incidents might become a teachable moment for Michelle, or maybe not.  But it would be worthwhile to note that fascists don't query their non lily-white  victims as to what ethnic identity they may have chosen for themselves.
