Lewandowski dropped by speakers bureau after remarks about girl with Down syndrome

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was dropped from his speakers bureau after he refused to apologize for mocking a story about a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was separated from her family at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Leading Authorities Inc. cut ties with Lewandowski on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

Lewandowski drew considerable backlash after his Tuesday appearance on Fox News, when former Zac Petkanas, a former rapid response director for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign, discussed a Wall Street Journal report about a child with Down syndrome being separated from her parents. Lewandowski dismissed the story by saying, "Womp, womp."

even when the kids have serious medical or developmental issues. What next? Will we have to take school-shooting victims seriouslu, instead of laughing at them as crisis actors? I'm sure you'll agree that this frightening trend can only go downhill
