Dear John,

[ [link removed] ]No free publicity for
admitted liar Lewandowski

On Tuesday, disgraced former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski
admitted he routinely lied to the American people to protect Trump – and
was rewarded with a CNN appearance.

After intense questioning from House Democrats detailed his repeated lies
about the Mueller investigation, Lewandowski claimed under oath: "I have
no obligation to be honest with the media."^1

But less than 24 hours later, media outlets like CNN invited this admitted
liar on television.^2 That's unacceptable.

Corey Lewandowski. Click here to sign the petition.

Lewandowski is using all this free publicity to plan a run for Senate in
New Hampshire. During a break in his appalling congressional hearing, he
tweeted out a link to his new fundraising PAC. Media outlets who book
Lewandowski are giving free airtime to a potential candidate for public
office whose words are likely to be blatant falsehoods.

Lewandowski's level of lying and obfuscation is not normal. During the
Mueller investigation, he told investigators that Trump directed him to
pressure Attorney General Jeff Sessions into either shutting down the
Russia investigation or being fired. Then he went on MSNBC and told the
public that Trump never asked him to speak with Sessions.^3 His CNN
appearance yesterday was equally appalling. He repeatedly cited the
Mueller report and then admitted he hadn't read it.^4

The media are under no obligation to book Lewandowski or other liars like
him. No outlet that takes itself seriously can give a platform to a man
who made it absolutely clear he will lie to the public for his own gain.
There is no benefit to the American people hearing from someone who
bragged about gaslighting them. You would think CNN and other outlets
would have understood this already. And yet they booked him right after
his ridiculous House hearing. It will clearly take extra pressure to
remind media outlets to serve the public trust – and keep a liar like
Lewandowski off the airwaves.

Lewandowski. Click the link below to sign the petition:
