Lewandowski Says A Vacation Is Why He Never Delivered Trump’s Backchannel Message | Talking Points Memo

TPM Article Topics

Former Trump campaign chairman Corey Lewandowski denied on Tuesday that he was too cowardly to deliver President Trump’s 2017 backchannel message to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Instead, he blamed his failure to follow through on Trump’s directive — which sought that Sessions give a public speech curtailing the Russia probe — on a vacation he took with his family that summer, after Trump made the initial request.

I can’t really judge him for that. It is the official GOP platform after all.

I wonder what Lewandowski thinks is the end-game here. Does he really believe, long-term, that he’s going to skate?

Why do so many of the Republican photos make them look like sphincters that just discovered their owner ate a ghost pepper?

Just the kind of people we need working in government and advising the President: People who take a personal vacation rather than convey a directive from the Chief Executive of the United States to the Attorney General of the United States.

“A Vacation” makes a lot more sense than my original reading of “Vatican.”

All the really smart rats know that the time to jump ship is just before all is lost. At this point, there are still a few cabins that can be looted on the SS Trumptanic and the promise of a Russian submarine coming to the rescue…

He distinctly ordered the antarctic-blue Super Sports Wagon with the CB and optional rally fun pack.

But he ended up with the Wagon Queen Family Truckster in metallic-pea.

Sad!

Lewandowski reminds me of Jordan and Meadows (the Two Stooges of the House). (1) Long on nasty (2) Short on brains.

They often can go far by attaching themselves to a more powerful person.In this case, given the stakes (The Nation). Corey is in over his head.

Seriously.

Uh huh…did he forget his smartphone as well? This doesn’t even pass the smell test, and it’s going to hurt his Senate chances too…after all, do you want a Senator that will take a vacation when important Senate business requires them to take action?

  1. Help to enact policies that make it harder for working class Americans to have a good work life balance. Take care of loved and and enjoy some leisure time.

Right. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES who you kneel before asks you to deliver a message and you say ‘Oops! I went on vacation. Me bad.’ Yeah. Sure.

I do if that Senator is Corey Lewandowski, or any of his Merry Band of Trumpkins.

Who knows he might be angling for the all important Manchester Union Leader endorsement. They’re the old cranky version of Lewandoski.
