Corey Lewandowski in Exile: Banned at TFG Properties

After a GOP donor accused Corey Lewandowski of sexual misconduct late last month, the former top aide and confidant to ex-President Donald Trump didn’t just lose his cushy job leading a pro-Trump super PAC. He was also fenced off socially—quietly blacklisted at several Trump properties and clubs, MAGA events, and private social gatherings, especially if alcohol is served, The Daily Beast has learned.

The temporary directive, which three people familiar with the matter said came with Trump’s personal blessing, was handed down shortly after a big Republican donor accused Lewandowski of sexually assaulting and harassing her over the course of an evening at a late-September charity function. In recent days, two of these sources said, Trump has made a point of telling close associates and Republican allies that they should avoid inviting Lewandowski to public events or “parties,” particularly if alcohol is flowing or if the event is held at one of the ex-president’s prized private clubs.

Others close to Trump have already told subordinates, as well as fellow players in the party and in the conservative movement more broadly, to remove Lewandowski (at least for now) from invitations and emails for upcoming GOP and MAGA festivities, according to two sources familiar with the situation. The message was also delivered in texts and an email viewed by The Daily Beast.

One text message instructed fellow Trump associates to simply turn Lewandowski away, or alert security, if he showed up to events in the foreseeable future.

Except that the minute Poor Donny needs Lewandowski's trademark blend of threatening smarm, he'll give Corey a whistle, and Corey will come running.

Corey is now about to find out what being shunned is like. Even Kristi Noem kicked him out of bed, or so it seems if rumors are true.

So many top Republicans it appears to be a job requirement. Why shun someone now over this?

... then Chump got word that Lewandowski messed around with Hope Hicks. (I'm pretty sure it happened several years ago, probably during the 2016 campaign. But still!)

If he's showing up at social gatherings and getting shit-faced constantly, no one wants to be around it. It sounds like the harassment allegation grew out of one of these incidents.

They kept emphasizing the alcohol and "for now" in the article. Could be he's exiled until treatment. Trump is Trump, but a close associate getting hammered and harassing people at your gatherings on your properties isn't a good look for anyone.

Trump's blessing for the ban is about Trump's image, such as it is. But he also famously doesn't drink and has an aversion to those that do. His brother died of alcoholism, so it's a thing with him.

Donor accuses Corey of misbehavior; Trump shrugs.

Donor tells Trump to either get rid of Corey or give rd them their money back; Corey is history.

It’s the twice murdering people Benihana style that they are worried about.

I hope that is being looked at by detectives who can dust off a cold case from when Lewandowski was a kid and knifing that are unsolved where he may have been.
