WATCH: Corey Lewandowski DESTROYS Democrats Over and Over and Over Again During Congressional Hearing
Corey Lewandowski, the former campaign manager for President Trump and co-author of “Let Trump be Trump,” offered hours of testimony to the House Judiciary Committee today, which featured many highlights of Lewandowski flexing on frustrated and hapless Democratic lawmakers.
Lewandowski started the hearing by setting the tone with a hard-hitting opening statement on the Democrats’ dereliction of duty in continuing their witch hunt against President Trump:

He embarrassed Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) by just letting her talk, as she seemed like an unhinged bully while Lewandowski simply kept his composure and calmly exposed her tactics.
Rep. Nadler: "The witness may answer the question."
Lewandowski: "I don't believe there was a question Congressman."
Rep. Jackson Lee: "Yes there was."
CL: "Could you repeat the question? I didn't hear it."
SJL: "I'd be happy to repeat the question."
CL: "Just a rant." pic.twitter.com/cNFkwgy3iE

He demonstrated his comedic chops in an exchange with Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY):

Lewandowski bulldozed failed presidential candidate Eric Swallwell (D-CA) in a devastating exchange:

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) at one point became so flustered that he threatened Lewandowski to be held in contempt of Congress, before being exposed for a potential violation of Congressional procedure by Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA).
JUST IN: House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler says that holding Corey Lewandowski "in contempt" is "certainly under consideration."

It wasn’t a completely one-sided affair though, as Lewandowski did have supporters in the committee. Republican Congressmen, including House Freedom Caucus members Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Jim Jordan (R-OH), rallied to Lewandowski’s defense for having to face this witch hunt:
.@CLewandowski_ worked with the Trump campaign for nearly 2 years. He testified they did not collude or coordinate with Russia. Sounds familiar.
James Comey, sitting at the same table as Lewandowski: same answer.
Bob Mueller: same table, same answer.
Time to move on. pic.twitter.com/gw1L9qfo5w

For the last four months, the path the majority has taken us on has rambled from disorganized to just downright dizzying.
Thanks to the Democrats, Mr. Lewandowski, we continue to engage in a charade that is overwhelmingly opposed by the American people. pic.twitter.com/TNtTYeV0Hk

Lewandowski was completely undaunted in the face of exhausting Democratic overreach, and even used the hearing to build buzz for a possible U.S. Senate campaign next year in his home state of New Hampshire.
He tweeted out a link to a website meant to build interest for his potential campaign next year during a brief midday recess at the hearing:
New website just launched to help a potential senate run. Sign up now! https://t.co/WlI11PaQ7M

Even his opponents were forced to admit that he got the better of Democrats during a grilling that was meant to damage Lewandowski as well as the President.
“The hearing was a political test, and the House Democrats failed it. They’re shudderingly terrible at this work; they lack the bloodthirsty instincts of political killers. Trump and the House GOP are playing nuclear hardball, and the House Democrats were playing the old normie politics of the days before social media, reality television, and the Insane Clown President,” wrote “Never Trump” political consultant Rick Wilson in a blog about the hearings.
President Trump was also very happy with his former subordinate’s display while in the hot seat against vicious Democrats desperate to gin up support for impeachment proceedings.

If New Hampshire wants a Senator who knows how to own the libs, Lewandowski will be their man in 2020.
