Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s recently fired campaign manager, has reportedly been hired by CNN. From Politico:
Former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is joining CNN as a political commentator, according to a source familiar with the arrangement.
It's a salaried position and will make Lewandowski exclusive to CNN, effective immediately.
From the sound of it, they didn’t waste a single second scooping up the former Trump employee:
Following his interview with Bash on Monday, Lewandowski went straight from the set and into a meeting with CNN executives, according to a source who witnessed Lewandowski enter the meeting.
Just hours earlier, Lewandowski had been led out of Trump Tower by security after meeting with the Trump family.
Aside from roughing up a female Breitbart reporter and lying about it, Lewandowski was also accused of putting his hands on a CNN reporter!
Lewandowski himself has had his own run-ins with CNN reporters. In November, Lewandowski warned CNN's Trump embed Noah Gray to "get back in the pen or he's f------ blacklisted," according to a recording of the incident. In another incident, Lewandowski reportedly physically pushed Gray away from Trump.
Have you no shame, CNN?
