Corey Lew nails Dem ‘haters’

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski slammed “Trump haters” and criticized House Judiciary Committee Democrats for making him appear before their panel in an impeachment hearing that quickly descended into chaos.

“Sadly, the country spent over three years and 40 million taxpayer dollars on these investigations,” Lewandowski (below) said in his opening statement. “It is now clear the investigation was populated by many Trump haters who had their own agenda — to try and take down a duly elected president of the United States.”

Of Democrats, Lewandowski said at one point, “I think they hate this president more than they love this country.”

Lewandowski is the first witness hauled before the committee by Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) on the heels of panel members voting to define the scope of their impeachment inquiry.

Lewandowski served as President Trump’s first campaign manager but has never had an official White House role.

He appeared in the Mueller report because Trump had asked Lewandowski to deliver a message to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions telling him to announce that the special counsel’s probe was unfair and that Robert Mueller should refocus his investigation on future elections.

Lewandowski refused to answer many of the Democrats’ questions, as White House attorneys told him he couldn’t recount conversations he had with Trump after the 2016 election.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (DTexas) accused Lewandowski of doing the president’s “dirty work in secret because he knew it was wrong.”
