Marcus Bachmann and CNN Don Lemon's 'Unusual' Moment of Violence

CNN anchor Don Lemon reports that members of the campaign team for Michele Bachmann -- including her husband Marcus Bachmann -- shoved him after an event for the candidate in Des Moines on Friday. It's hard to tell exactly what happened, as both sides have a different account, but Lemon is sticking to his story, so here goes:

“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.’ It was just, I don’t know, why they would choose to do that."

4. Don Lemon looks as though he's never told a lie in his entire life.
And being he is gay I can easily see Marcus throwing elbows.

5. These people are bullies, arrogant, stupid and with ugly personalities and
thoughts. I would not be surprised at all by any of their ugly behavior. They are creeps and smell.
