Trump Campaign Hit With Lawsuit Over Staffer Who Pointed Gun At Aides

[Teddy B 17,252]

The Trump campaign is in an unstoppable free fall.

Well, the bad news just keeps coming for the Trump campaign. He unnecessarily launch a counteroffensive against a Gold Star family, he doled out a completely inappropriate assassination joke, and now there’s a lawsuit alleging the campaign’s North Carolina state director pointed his gun at five coworkers, and that no disciplinary actions were taken against him. Sarah Westwood at The Washington Examiner has more:

Donald Trump's presidential campaign is facing a lawsuit in a North Carolina court after allegedly failing to discipline a staffer who threatened several of his coworkers with a gun.

Earl Phillip, the North Carolina state director for Trump's campaign, allegedly pointed a pistol at five fellow aides during his time with the campaign while senior staff members ignored complaints from victims.

Vincent Bordini, described as a "dedicated, loyal Trump campaign staffer" in the documents filed Wednesday, sued the Trump campaign after unsuccessfully seeking help from its top brass.

According to the court filings, Trump's North Carolina campaign director pressed a pistol into Bordini's kneecap while driving his Jeep in February.

Exit question: what the hell is going on within the halls of this campaign?

Now now, I'm sure you guys are taking this out of context. Haven't you heard of pointing a gun at someone sarcastically?

He pointed a gun five different times at staffers .. .. No police reports ? Under NC law

the court must order the defendant to surrender to the sheriff all firearms, ammunition, permits to purchase firearms, and permits to carry concealed firearms that are in his or her care, custody, possession, ownership, or control if the court finds any of the following factors:

• The use or threatened use of a deadly weapon by the defendant or a pattern of prior conduct involving the use or threatened use of violence with a firearm against persons;

could be a misdemeanor brandishing

Hard to tell by the news story. He did this on 5 occasions ? ... What charges were pressed ? Why was he allowed to possess a handgun after the first report to the police ? ... If this happened at all ? Post the link to the police reports

Lib, even if the links were posted, you wouldn't believe it. Even if they had video showing this, you'd claim it was fake.

You're a Trump supporter. Your mind isn't allowed to take in anything that would besmirch Trump, lest you'd see the truth. And you can't handle the truth.

Who said anything was reported to the police?

Maybe the gun was pointed sarcastically?

I'm pretty sure Vincent is a somebody, and he did work for the Trump campaign. Not to mention the lawsuit is in the link that he filed on Aug 10. Did you even click to read it?

Because if you have been paying attention, you'd see that even when Trump burns his supporters, they're still are hesitant to do anything to him.
