CNN host Don Lemon beats the crap out of lying Donald Trump surrogate Corey Lewandowski

CNN host Don Lemon is on a roll. Just one day after forcibly putting obscure dishonest Donald Trump surrogate Dan Bongino in his place for all to see, Lemon upped the ante today by verbally beating the crap out of former Trump campaign manager and current Trump apologist Corey Lewandowski live on-air as well. Lewandowski, who now inexplicably works for CNN as an analyst despite the widespread belief that he’s still unofficially working for Trump, attempted to defend Trump’s recent absurd lie that President Obama and Hillary Clinton co-founded ISIS. Don Lemon dropped the hammer on him.

“ISIS did not exist prior to this administration,” Lewandowski lied, prompting Don Lemon to cut him off and declare the obvious: “ISIS did exist prior to this administration.” But Lemon kept going with the facts of the matter, pointing out that ISIS was created back in 2002 and 2003: “Barack Obama was not even President then. He was a State Senator in Illinois. Hillary Clinton was not the Secretary of State then.”

“Don’t tell the people a falsehood,” Lemon barked at Lewandowski while pointing out that the Obama administration is currently battling ISIS in four different countries. Another CNN panelist, Hilary Rosen, pointed out that “Donald Trump called for the same withdrawal that Barack Obama actually executed from Iraq, and supported the original invasion of Iraq” and therefore has no basis for criticizing Obama’s decision on the matter.

Don Lemon went on to point out that George W. Bush, not Barack Obama, had signed the agreement and set the date for the withdrawal from Iraq.........................

The problem is that he feels it's his job to claim both sides are equally to blame.

I know a guy who watches CNN and what he's learned is it's always been this way, it's always going to BE this way and there's nothing that you can do about it.
