As both CNN staffers tried to question Bachmann, Lemon said he was pushed by two members of Bachmann’s staff. Lemon also said that Marcus Bachmann, the congresswoman’s husband, pushed him.
“She came out, after speaking for just a couple minutes,” Lemon said. “There were other reporters and cameras there. And I asked her very respectful questions: ‘How do you think you did in the debate last night?’ and ‘How do you think you’re going to end up in the Ames Straw Poll?’ And her two campaign aides started elbowing me.”
Lemon continued: “I told them, asked them not to elbow me. And then her husband Marcus started doing the same thing. And then he elbowed me into the cart. And I said, ‘You just pushed me into the cart.’ And he goes, ‘No, you did it yourself.’
This is not an interview situation at all; the Bachmann camp was simply moving through the crowed. If Lemon is a reporter he should arrange an interview that is not in the middle of a victorious and raucous crowd.
I guess Lemon can not take care of himself and he fell victim to those two blonde meanies from the Queen of Rage's camp. I've watched the video and in the mad crush of a crowd it looks like they were simply moving Bachmann through the crowd and I do not see anything that verifies Lemon's version. He does not seem to fall. I do not see drinks falling and of course he has not identified anyone who can corroborate his reporting of the incident in question. Bachmann has her work cut out for her; the media reporting is going to be vicious. They will Palinize Bachmann.
Really I think there is a simple solution for Bachmann; Lemon should grow a pair.
