Can't say I blame him.
The hiring of former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski by a Republican seeking the Louisiana gubernatorial nomination has set off a firestorm that has a major donor not only demanding his money back but also urging voters to not vote for the candidate.
According to a report from Politico, aspiring GOP candidate Jeff Landry brought on the controversial Lewandowski as an advisor to his campaign which led to donor John Odom -- who has already contributed $100,000 -- to flip out.
At issue is the fact that Odom's former wife was on the receiving end of unwanted sexual advances by Lewandowski in Las Vegas in 2021 and the new hiring infuriated the donor.
"Lewandowski was later charged with misdemeanor battery, and in September 2022 he cut a plea deal with Nevada prosecutors. Under the deal, the political strategist agreed to pay a $1,000 fine, undergo impulse control training, serve 50 hours of community service and stay out of trouble for a year. In exchange, Lewandowski would not have to admit guilt," Politico is reporting.
