Lewandowski says video of him saying 'womp womp' about girl with Down syndrome is fake news

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who remains a close adviser making frequent sojourns to the White House, appeared on Fox News last night and mocked a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was separated from her mother.

Zac Pentkana, a former Hillary Clinton adviser who appeared alongside Lewandowski, told the story of a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was taken from her mom and placed “in a cage.” The girl’s plight was first reported in the Wall Street Journal.

“Womp. Womp,” Lewandowski replied.

When Pentkana called him out for mocking the plight of a 10-year-old girl with a genetic condition being separated from her mom, Lewandowski refused to back down.

Wednesday morning, despite the video evidence, Lewandowski tweeted that reports he mocked the girl’s plight was “fake news.” (He also said the policies causing children to be separated from their parents was started under Obama, a lie.)

6. Womp womp is a pretty dumb way to spell it

The sound effect you are referring to is called

sadtrombone

And it is indeed used as a sound effect to symbolise and make fun of failure or bad news.

These stupid shits are so brazen, they are doing these things live on air, then claiming it's fake news?!? I hate this time period so so much... When is all the madness going to finally end?

9. I heard him.

He wonk wonked her.

Meaning:

He is wringing his hanky to try to find tears for this story that he finds completely ridiculous. Why would anyone care about these people or their babies? They are not white, do not speak English, and are poor and stupid.

11. I think we need to ponder this a bit more

They aren't using "fake news" to describe made up stuff. (Which is what Obama was doing)

They are saying fake news doesn't matter, they just don't care. That allows them to claim they aren't ignorant yet still demean events that they don't want reported.
