The Breitbart News reporter who was allegedly assaulted by Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski at a campaign news conference Tuesday night is speaking out about the incident for the first time in a new op-ed posted to the news outlet's website overnight.

Michelle Fields, who covers politics for Breitbart, says she was "jolted backwards" after she posed a question to the Republican front-runner.

"Trump acknowledged the question, but before he could answer I was jolted backwards. Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, I was shaken," Fields writes in the post.

Fields did not see who pulled her but said The Washington Post’s Ben Terris allegedly identified the aggressor as Lewandowski.

I am reminded of this...

1. The only way to stop this is to take action.

Every person who was roughed up or assaulted needs to press charges. Someone probably has a video.

3. Wait....they're beating up people from....Breitbart? Breitbart?

First, Trump picks a feud with Megyn Kelly and Fox News. And now he's got his campaign manager beating up Breitbart "News" reporters.

Jeez, I hate to see what he'd do to people who might actually be critical of his mindset.
