Corey Lewandowski Dismisses Girl With Down Syndrome Separated From Mother: 'Womp, Womp'

The former Trump campaign manager enraged a Fox News panelist with his insensitive remark.

Corey Lewandowski enraged a fellow panelist on Fox News on Tuesday when he derisively brushed off reports of a girl with Down syndrome being separated from her mother at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Lewandowski, a former campaign manager for Donald Trump, was on the show to debate with Democratic strategist Zac Petkanas about the Trump administration’s controversial family separation policy. Petkanas mentioned the report of a 10-year-old Mexican girl with Down syndrome who was separated from her mother when Lewandowski interrupted by saying, “Womp, womp.”

“Did you just say ‘womp, womp’ to a 10-year-old with Down syndrome separated from her mother?” Petkanas responded. “How dare you. How dare you.”

Lewandowski attempted to defend his jeering remark but couldn’t get a word in against a livid Petkanas.

I take comfort in the fact that Karma will, no doubt, be going 'Womp Womp' on Lewandowski's ass.
