Lewandowski On Vulgar Trump Comments: ‘We’re Not Choosing A Sunday School Teacher’
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/corey-lewandowski-sunday-school_us_57f82469e4b0b6a430325d67?section=&
Lewandowski, now a paid contributor to CNN, phoned the cable network’s “The Situation Room” shortly after The Washington Post and NBC News published 2005 audio of Trump making a series of misogyinistic remarks. The tape includes Trump claiming he attempted to have sex with a married woman and boasting that his fame allows him to grope women.
“Clearly this is not how women should be spoken about, but you know, we’re not choosing a Sunday school teacher here,” Lewandowski told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “This is 12 years ago, this audio tape, and this does not reflect or bring to mind the Donald Trump that I spent 18 months with.”
“To have a leader, someone who is tough and will be respected around the world, that’s what we’re doing here, and that’s who I think Donald Trump is. Are his words perfect? Absolutely not. Is this defensible? I don’t think so,” Lewandowski said. “What I do know is he has apologized if anyone has been offended.”
Trump, in fact, did not actually apologize for the remarks.
