Washington – White House spokesman Josh Earnest says neither President Barack Obama, nor his predecessor, would have put up with the behavior that led to a battery charge against Donald Trump’s campaign manager.
Earnest says he’s confident that neither Obama nor former Republican president George W. Bush would have tolerated someone of their staff being accused of “physically assaulting a reporter, lying about it and then blaming the victim. That is completely unacceptable behavior.”
Trump has defended campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and claims the reporter had grabbed at Trump.
Earnest, speaking at Wednesday’s briefing at the White House, says the actions and statements from the Trump campaign are “completely outside the realm of acceptable behavior” observed by past presidents.
