Vincent Bordini, a former staffer from Donald Trump’s North Carolina operation, is suing both the Trump campaign and his former state campaign director, Earl Phillip. Bordini alleges that Phillip threatened him and his fellow staff members with a gun, and no one did anything about it.
There is seemingly no limit to what Donald Trump and his staff of fools will do when it comes to this presidential campaign. WBTV in Charlotte, North Carolina reports that when Mr. Bordini took his grievances to higher-ups within the campaign, they did not do anything. Bordini says that he wasn’t the only one that this happened to, either. Another staffer came to him and said that he also had a gun pulled on him.

Vincent Bordini went directly to campaign officials, according to the lawsuit. He spoke first with the Trump campaign’s regional director of western North Carolina. According to the lawsuit:
‘The Director told Vincent that he too had been brandished upon by Phillip. He was terrified.’
In March, Bordini spoke to Cory Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, on the phone, and he also mentioned the fact that at least two other staff members were threatened at gunpoint.
The suit says:
‘Others detailed something different. They described Phillip yelling and screaming in anger while brandishing a pistol.
‘Lewandowski said that he took Vincent’s complaint seriously. Upon information and belief, Lewandowski did nothing to correct Phillip’s brazen behavior. He certainly didn’t suspend or terminate him.’
A glance at Earl Phillip’s social media accounts show just how pro-gun he is. His cover photo says, “I will fight until I am out of ammo or I am out of blood.”
The Republican presidential nominee can’t really take much more in the way of blows to his campaign. The controversy seems to be never-ending when it comes to Trump.
