Trump's Former Campaign Manager Is Being Dragged for Mocking a 10-Year Old Girl With Down Syndrome Who Was Separated From Her Mother

Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Secretary Luis Videgaray held a press conference on Tuesday in which he mentioned that one of the children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border was a 10-year-old girl with down syndrome.

In an appearance on Fox News Tuesday night, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski mocked the 10-year-old girl's experience, which was a result of Trump's "zero tolerance" policy that separates children from their parents at our southern border.

"I read today about a 10-year-old girl with down syndrome who was taken from her mother and put in a cage," said Democratic strategist Zac Petkanas.

"Womp, womp," Lewandowski callously interrupted. Petkanas then tore into Lewandowski, who attempted to clarify his remarks but was completely outgunned by and enraged Petkanas.

"Did you just say womp womp to a 10-year-old with down syndrome being taken from her mother?" Petkanas asked. "How dare you. How dare you. How absolutely dare you, sir."

Videgaray had said the girl and her brother were just two of more than 2,300 children that have been separated from their parents in the last six weeks. The girl's father is reported to be a legal U.S. resident.

Twitter didn't take kindly to Lewandoski's insensitive remarks.

NBC's Megyn Kelly slammed Lewandowski, saying "there is no low to which this coward Corey Lewandowski won’t sink."

Another user said Lewandowski has "earned a special place in Hell."

It's only Wednesday, but Fox News has been outdoing itself this week.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions went on Fox News Monday night to defend the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” border policy, which has resulted in nearly 12,000 migrant children being placed in detention centers, a policy that some have compared to Nazi concentration camps.

Sessions explained to Laura Ingraham that these claims are “exaggerations,” because “in Nazi Germany, they were keeping the Jews from leaving the country.”
