Corey Lewandowski dropped by speakers bureau

Source: CNN

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has been dropped by his speakers bureau after dismissing the story of a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was reportedly separated from her mother after crossing the border illegally, CNN has learned.

Leading Authorities, Inc., one of Washington DC's top speakers bureaus, severed ties with Lewandowski on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter said. His name no longer appears on the bureau's website.

Speakers bureaus like LAI handle speaking gigs for notable political and media personalities, which can be a lucrative business. Speakers can net five- or even six-figure checks for one engagement.

Lewandowski has drawn widespread criticism for remarks he made on Fox News on Tuesday. When former senior Democratic National Committee adviser Zac Petkanas talked about "a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome" who had been "taken from her mother and put in a cage," Lewandowski dismissed the anecdote, saying, "Womp womp."

It's like an actor being dropped by his agent. Unless he's picked up by another, he's on his own to hustle up jobs. And like actors, pundits are a dime a dozen. He's damaged his credibility by his attack on a child with Down's Syndrome. He went way outside the bounds of the reservation, and that's saying something where conservatives are concerned, so he has better hold onto his most recent paycheck -- it may be the last he sees for a long, long while.

Shunned. Most Americans are decent people, who know basic common-sense right from wrong.

Reasons I will never interview Corey Lewandowski:

1. Like Trump, he is afraid to be interviewed by me.

2. The interview would be ugly.

3. Like all Lewandowski interviews, it would have no news value.

I'm not thinking of Porter or Bannon (I know, hard to keep up on the women-beaters in Trump's inner circle). But wasn't there some rumor swirling about this shitbag also? I know he used to date Hopeless Hick, and she broke it off, but I don't believe she alleged anything.

It just surprises me that a shitbag like Lewandowski hasn't been dropped to this point. You have every clue that he is going to do things like this as a normal course of his shitty ways.

Really, what does it take to get it? We have to see that he has no shame and can insult the life of a 10year old with Down syndrome? Pretty obvious to me that this douche has no cellar from the get-go. CNN is off the charts oblivious, of course. I'm done with them for foisting that dickhead in front of a camera

Since the media has been non-stop dump coverage it seems to be working.

Of course there's a lot of much worse things happening to this country while we all fixate on these pieces-of-shit and womp-womp.
