Chuck Johnson’s New Obsession: Michelle Fields
After more than a year of tracking the behavior of Rage Furby Chuck C. Johnson, he still manages to astound me by reaching even further down into the depths of sliminess.
In his attempts to discredit reporter Michelle Fields, Johnson has called upon his not-so-hidden talent of attacking not just his subject, but everyone associated with that person. It’s his modus operandi. Plus, in keeping with his own traditions, he’s threatened to sue Fields for some past dispute that lay fallow only to be brought up again in his newly found ire.
He who must not be namedNow designated by Rachel Maddow as “the World’s Creepiest Blogger in Exile,” Chuck C. Johnson has decided to live up to his new nickname by putting Michelle Fields in his crosshairs.
Fields, of course, is the former Breitbart reporter who accused Corey Lewandowski, campaign manager for Donald Trump (R-Blowhard), of grabbing her hard enough to leave bruises on her forearm. Fields was attempting to ask the Mighty Donald a question when Lewandowski cut her off by pulling her away.
Fields followed up by filing charges against the Trump aide, who reported to the Jupiter, FL, police department for arraignment a couple of days ago.
Both Fields’ accusations and Lewandowski’s arrest have created a veritable shitstorm of invective on the Internet, and Fields has been a particular target of Trump partisans, in particular “Dim” Jim Hoft (the Gateway Pundit, aka Stupidest Man on the Internet) and Chuck C. Johnson of GotNewsDotCom (which is not us!).
Yesterday, Johnson published two posts on his blog, targeting Fields and for no logical reason, her mother.
Yes, her mother. Don’t you know, every Award Winning Journalist™ goes after a subject’s mother in the pursuit of a story. As soon as we can find another example, we’ll let you know.
Since Fields first accused Trump operative Lewandowski of manhandling her, Johnson has published no less than six posts attacking her on his parody of a news blog, GotNewsDotCom. He says she is a fraud, a drama queen, an “attention seeker.” He says she accused him of a federal crime, for which he is considering suing her.
In yet another post, Johnson repeats his earlier complaints that Fields “accuse[d] me of a federal crime” and again calls her a liar. He’s also threatened to sue her over this incident, but given his track record in courts of law, Fields has really nothing to worry about.
As best as we can understand it, Fields sent him an add request on LinkedIn. Rather than take the logical step of clicking “CONFIRM” on the webpage, Johnson called her directly. It seems Fields did not know Johnson had her number, and given his habit of doxxing people and publishing their personal information on his blog, she freaked out. Then, she tweeted that Johnson had “hacked” her computer and obtained her personal information. Johnson then responded in his usual calm, mature manner, by demanding she retract the statement and when she refused, he contacted her bosses to have them demand she retract the accusation. Eventually, she did.
Fields is Chuck’s new obsession, and it’s not a healthy one.
