Corey Lewandowski, former campaign manager for the Trump campaign and, reportedly, a Senate hopeful in Virginia for the seat of Senator Warner (D), had better hope that Senator Warner, or whoever succeeds him as the Democratic nominee for Warner’s seat, doesn’t see this video of Lewandowski testifying to the House Judiciary Committee. He’s under fire from the Committee’s consultant counsel, Barry Berke, who is slowly pinning Lewandowski down and ripping off his metaphorical wings concerning Lewandowski’s mendacity.
You know Lewadowski realizes he’s in trouble when he resorts to the logical error of claiming something totally different from what Berke is trying to get him to admit, which is that he lies whenever it suits him:
What I’m saying is that, when under oath, I’ve told the truth. Whether it’s before special counsel, or the House Judiciary Committee, or the House Intelligence Committee on two separate occasions, or the Senate Intelligence Committee, every time I’ve raised my right hand to God, I’ve sworn and told the truth. [My transcript from below cited video, roughly at 5:15.]
It’s quite the video, watching Lewandowski squirm like a bucket of Slime as he tries to avoid admitting that he’s lied to the public on multiple occasions. He tries to hide behind God, as if he’s only obligated to tell the truth when God has been invoked, he tries to hide behind the Mueller Report, he tries to blame the media for his dishonest ways (as if the media doesn’t represent the public during such interviews!), self-promotion, and, well, his own faulty memory of his own activities.
It really begs the Virginia GOP to answer the question of how important honesty is in their candidates. I mean, I wouldn’t trust this guy so far as I could throw him.
But that Trump, who claimed he would and did hire the best, thinks this guy is, or was, the best, is an appalling thought.
