Corey Lewandowskis new lobbying firm uses Trump tweets like a panhandler uses a squeegee: NY Times

Corey Lewandowski’s new lobbying firm uses Trump’s tweets like a panhandler uses a squeegee: NY Times

Corey Lewandowski, who oversaw the beginning of Trump’s presidential campaign, and Barry Bennett, a former Trump senior adviser, founded the firm Avenue Strategies in December to lobby the administration, according the a Bloomberg Businessweek report.

They boast to clients of their close ties to the president, but the New York Times reported Monday that the pair’s operation involves protecting clients — for a fee — from Trump’s “tweet risk.”

“If he’s gonna come after you, there’s nothing we can do to stop it,” said Bennett, who also served as Ben Carson’s campaign manager. “But if you want to figure out how to win in this environment, we can help you. We’re your sherpa through turbulent times.”

Lewandowski and Bennett also believe they’re also helping Trump, whose bedroom window is visible from their Washington, D.C., offices, and have set up a super PAC to help their old boss win re-election.
