Stephen Colbert Highlights CNN’s Lewandowski Problem: So, He’s “Doing Analysis For A Man He Still Gets Cash From?”

CNN’s Anderson Cooper: “Pretty Much, Yeah”

From the August 25 edition of CBS' The Late Show with Stephen Colbert:

STEPHEN COLBERT (HOST): Donald Trump, his campaign. You had Kellyanne Conway, his new campaign manager, on last night.

ANDERSON COOPER: Yeah.

COLBERT: Did you also interview Paul Manafort? I'm sure, right?

COOPER: Yeah, I did one or two, at least one.

COLBERT: So, he was the previous campaign manager.

COOPER: And then Corey Lewandowski was the manager before.

COLBERT: Oh, Corey Lewandowski, who now works at CNN

COOPER: Right.

COLBERT: So, he works for you guys. Does he still get any money from the Trump people at the same time?

COOPER: I believe -- I read he gets a continuing severance from the Trump campaign.

COLBERT: So, ya'll are paying him, and Trump is paying him, but he's on your show doing analysis for a man he still gets cash from?

COOPER: Pretty much, yeah, I guess that's one way to look at it. I mean, yes.

COLBERT: And you still respect his opinion, too?

COOPER: Well you know, we have people from all the campaigns.
