Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and after hours of questioning, in which Lewandowski stalled, deflected, and at times outright mocked members of Congress and their oversight finally provided fireworks during the last thirty minutes of the day.

Corey Lewandowski admitted he lies on national television, which means he therefore lies to the American public about key issues related to the president, and you’d think that would be enough to get him banned from more appearances, right?

Lewandowski was brash, childish, combative, and again thoroughly proved himself to be a serial liar and a person of unquestionably low character. This is the train wreck CNN willingly booked today:
When Lewandowski admitted to Barry Berke that he lies, the clip in question was from a May 2019 appearance on MSNBC’s show with host Ari Melber. I’m sure he’ll never be booked on that show again either, right? Wrong.
