Lewandowski on Manafort firing: 'People think I won'

Lewandowski on Manafort firing: 'People think I won'
By NICK GASS 08/19/16 11:43 AM EDT

Former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski wished Paul Manafort the best on Friday after he submitted his resignation following intensifying scrutiny of his pro-Russian connections and a freefall in Trump's poll numbers.

When news broke of Manafort's resignation, Lewandowski retweeted a tweet from journalist Sasha Issenberg, who wrote, "Lewandowski is winning so much even he may get tired of winning." The message represented a play on one of Trump's favorite phrases on the stump and a subtle nod at the internal discord between Lewandowski and Manafort on the campaign before Lewandowski's firing in June.
