Mediaite reports:
“Corey, why is this so difficult for the Trump campaign to answer? I mean, it’s 2024. Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? Can you answer that?” CNN’s Jim Acosta asked Lewandowski, who replied, “So, look, we can go back and relitigate the 2020 election or we can look at what we can do to make America better for the everyday Americans who are struggling under Bidenomics. They’re struggling-”
“Yeah, it’s not relitigating. It’s just a simple question: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? I mean, that’s easy,” interjected Acosta. Lewandowski: “Jim, why are we talking about 2020 anymore? Does the American people care about the 2020 election anymore or do they care about being able to put food on their table, gas in their car. Jim, we know there was fraud. There’s no question there was some fraud.”
Read the full article. As you’ll see in the wildly combative clips below, every time Acosta tried to get Lewandowski to say that the 2020 election was fair or that Haitians are not eating pets, Lewandowski screamed the stupid lie that Harris has let in over 13,000 murderers that still run free. He did this at least ten times. Acosta finally dumped the interview after Lewandowski repeated that same lie when asked why he refuses to pronounce “Kamala” correctly.
ACOSTA: Did Trump lose the 2020 election? Can you answer that?
COREY LEWANDOWSKI: Jim, I think it’s very simple — the American people have passed the 2020 election and are focused on an election that’s five weeks away
ACOSTA: So what you’re saying is that Trump didn’t lose? pic.twitter.com/DlpRe5Gcp4

ACOSTA: Can you say that Haitian migrants are not eating pets in Springfield?
LEWANDOWSKI: You know what I can say? 13,099 murderers were let into this country
A: I asked you if Trump won in 2020. I just asked you if Haitian migrants are eating pets. You won’t admit the truth pic.twitter.com/AwuvCCjsft

Jim Acosta to Corey Lewandowski: “Corey, you’ve been in this business a long time. I think you’re a mature grownup. It’s Ka-ma-la Harris. Can you just say Kamala? What’s going on there?”
He then ends the interview. pic.twitter.com/EysN0GweDa

I feel bad for Jim @Acosta for CNN’s bookers having foisted a Corey Lewandowski interview on him, after he admitted under oath before Congress that he went on CNN and lied.
But he did a great job of challenging his lies, fact checking him and asking him to pronounce Kamala.
