CNN Forces Lewandowski To Give Bogus Excuses For Trump's Foreign Email Fundraising Scheme
Donald Trump's campaign is in some hot water after watchdog groups filed a complaint with the FEC for asking foreigners (members of British Parliament) to donate to his campaign via email which is illegal.
As usual it's #NeverTrumpsFault.
On CNN's New Day this morning, Corey Lewandowski blamed those foreigners for "opting into" Trump's email systems because Trump is the coolest and want him to win the election.
Co-host Alisyn Camerota got into Lewandowski's grill and asked, "..well, that's illegal to be soliciting donations from foreign leaders or foreigners so what's going on there?
Corey replied, "Well my guess is the individual opted into an email system because, that I know of, the Trump campaign has never purchased a list to solicit any information and so, if it's an opt in and you send a request out to the list of people who opted in to be part of this, that's perfectly legal..."
Does this sound like nonsense to you? If a foreigner had opted in, why would they be complaining about it at all?
Corey tried to say maybe US citizens overseas were receiving them and Carmerota cut in to say, "but she's not a US citizen."
"It's possible that people who live overseas, who want to participate in the US presidential process have the opportunity to do that."
Lewandowski must have been working on that line all night, but it doesn't hold up because it was a British politician who blew the whistle.
