BREAKING: Corey Lewandowski still sucks, still lies, still says "I don't know" when told the truth

[Miles Archer]

Corey Lewandowski Tried To Smear A Reporter. It Did Not Go Well.



Lewandowski claimed that the author of the report, Kurt Eichenwald, said that former President George W. Bush was connected to the Sept. 11 attacks.

“This is the same individual who said that he has information that George W. Bush was directly related to the 9/11 terrorist attack. This is the same individual who refused to fact check this story with the Trump organization,” Lewandowski said on CNN, where he is a paid contributor even though he is still advising the Trump campaign.

Later in the segment, CNN’s Alisyn Camerota came back to Lewandowski’s claim and pointed out that it was false. Eichenwald had written that Bush ignored warnings of a terrorist attack before Sept. 11, not that he was involved in the attacks.

Despite being presented with the facts, Lewandowski was undeterred. “I don’t know, is that true or not?,” he asked. Christine Quinn, who was appearing with Lewandowski, correctly pointed out that the 9/11 Commission did find that Bush had been warned of a potential attack.

1. He is Trump trained, they first learn how to lie and then learn how to speak.

[lunatica]

2. He's just a machine gun mouth

Speaks fast and loud and over everyone else.

[gratuitous]

3. "He has information that George W. Bush was directly related to the . . . attack"

No, that's not what Eichenwald said.

"I don't know; is that true or not?"

Well, genius, you just said unequivocally that Eichenwald said Bush "was directly related to the 9/11 terrorist attack." What was the basis of your inflammatory (if barely comprehensible) remark? And upon being told that Eichenwald wrote nothing like what Lewandowski said he wrote, it's "I don't know." If the Lewandowski Rule is that Eichenwald loses all credibility forever because of one alleged misstatement in a story from years ago (which was, in fact, no misstatement at all), how much credibility does Lewandowski retain for baselessly smearing Eichenwald, then feigning ignorance when confronted with the facts?

Great hire, CNN. How much longer do you plan on keeping Lewandowski on the air?

4. Hey, that's almost exactly what Trump said about George Bush!

Donald Trump invoked the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center to tear into Jeb Bush at Saturday night's debate, saying they were in part a result of George W. Bush's national security failures.

“The World Trade Center came down during your brother’s reign. Remember that," Trump said to the former Florida governor.

"The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush. He kept us safe? That is not safe. That is not safe, Marco. That is not safe," he continued. "The world Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton [didn't] kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance to kill him. And George Bush-- by the way, George Bush had the chance, also, and he didn't listen to the advice of his C.I.A."

“How did he keep us safe when the World Trade Center…excuse me, I lost hundreds of friends!” Trump said as the crowd booed loudly.
