This missive will be brief and to the point.
Corey Lewandowski as well all know was “fired” from the Trump campaign after a number or unseemly and embarrassing problems with him arose.
Within what seemed like minutes after Trump said, “You’re Fired!!!”, Lewandowski was hired by CNN as a commentator and there have been many stories about staff at the network feeling unhappy and uncomfortable with this elopement with their network. Those staffers have had many, many sensible and legitimate reasons to object to this hire because of his non-disclosure agreement with Trump, questions about journalistic standards and, well let’s not forget, ew!!! and WTF????
But I actually kept an open mind. I’m like that sometimes. I decided to listen to the guy because you can’t know if you don’t know the quality of content, right?
It has been weeks since Lewandowski was fired and when he’s been given the mic at CNN, I’ve listened and here’s the thing… Lewandowski is a Trump spokesperson, still. He isn’t just a surrogate, he’s campaigning for Trump. He isn’t a comparatively vanilla “political commentator” , he is a full-throated advocate and cheerleader for Trump every. single. time. he. speaks. on. CNN. about Trump (or Clinton). There is NO objective political analysis that he brings to the table. It is all non-sensical filibuster word salad a la his candidate.
So, to cut to the chase, I pretty much think that it is clear that CNN has been conned into — lol — paying Lewandowski’s salary to promote Trump instead of Trump having to pay him to do basically the same thing as he was doing before being “fired”. Fools. Conned fools.
Maybe CNN will hire Paul Manafort after he’s “fired” so that he too can further advance the Trump mania as a highly paid CNN “political commentator”.
Perhaps CNN should consider hiring all of Trump’s staff. CNN suckers. I am certain that the band of grifters in the Trump campaign would be happy to see how far they can take this massive “mark” to pay for their grift.
