What: "Don Lemon: Shoved by Bachmann Camp", CNN
When: August 12, 2011
Disturbing, indeed. Don Lemon explains:
Something very disturbing happened: Michele Bachmann was supposed to show up about five o'clock and speak for twenty minutes as all the candidates have done. She showed up at about five-thirty and spoke for about three minutes, and then on the way out ... reporters started asking her some questions. And I asked her very respectful questions about her performance last night, where does she think she's going to end up in the straw poll.
Two of her staff members—two blond women ... started elbowing me and pushing me through the crowd. And her husband, Marcus, did the same thing. He even pushed me—elbowed me—into a golf cart, where I hit my head and caused people to start spilling stuff.
One of our political reporters, Shannon Travis, has been covering her campaign and says he's never seen anything like this before. Clearly, his was an embarrassing display on their part. I don't know why all of this happened, but, it was embarrassing and unfitting.
No, really, this is what it comes to?
The aforementioned Shannon Travis has the detail.
There are a thousand things one might say of the incident, rest assured. We should spare ourselves the litany.
