REPORT: Woman Who Confronted Trump At Election Rally Was Planted By Jeb Bush Campaign [VIDEO]

Teabagistan is going apeshit today over the news that the young woman who yesterday confronted Donald Trump about women’s rights is actually a volunteer for the Bush campaign. The Washington Post reports:



As Trump supporters googled [Lauren] Batchelder’s name, they found a resume listing “intern at Jeb Bush for President 2016” and a Twitter feed containing pro-Bush tweets. Daniel Scavino Jr., a senior adviser to Trump, accused Bush of having “planted” an intern at the event. Conservative blogs quickly picked up the story. Allie Brandenburger, a spokeswoman for Bush’s campaign, said Batchelder is not a paid staff member and attended the convention on her own. “While this question was not sanctioned by the campaign,” Brandenburger said in an e-mail Tuesday morning, “we can’t help but notice Mr. Trump does seem to be very sensitive about being challenged by women.” Bush’s lead spokesman, Tim Miller, reiterated that sentiment in a tweet. Batchelder appears to have deleted her Twitter account.
