Dear CNN - WHY, for the love of all that is dear did you hire Trump's former manager?

Look, I understand that people who use to be in politics whether as a former candidate or someone who worked in politics tend to get hired by the Cable News. But for the life of God why is it that CNN hired Trump's former campaign manager COrey Lewandowski? This idiot is nothing more than Trump's mouthpiece for CNN.

He was strongly voicing the Trump talking points,

"CNN is paying this guy?"
