Donald Trump’s former senior adviser Corey Lewandowki was being his disrespectful self on CNN with Jim Acosta on Wednesday—and Acosta ran out of persistence. Through the contentious interview, Lewandowski, who was lately rehired by the Trump marketing campaign, refused to reply direct questions, providing up solely inflammatory (and debunked) speaking factors, and repeatedly mispronounced Vice President Kamala Harris’ first title.
It was throughout considered one of these MAGA-misinformation dumps that Acosta interrupted Lewandowski saying, “Corey you’ve been in this business a long time. I think you’re a mature grown-up. It’s Ka-ma-la Harris. Can you just say, can you say Kamala? Or you cannot say Kamala?”
Lewandowski ignored the query, and tried to proceed with a brand new immigration lie Trump’s marketing campaign is selling about non-detained immigrants beneath the Biden administration. That was sufficient for Acosta.
“Yeah. Well, Corey, I, you know, I appreciate you coming on. Maybe we’ll have you back. Thanks for your time.”
And with that Acosta abruptly ended the interview.
Lewandowki was introduced again this summer time to carry extra crass MAGA-excitement into Trump’s lagging marketing campaign. That is what you get.
