CHRIS CUOMO (CO-HOST): What’s wrong with fact-checking? Sean Spicer, spokesperson and strategist for the RNC is, we’re going back and forth about it on Twitter. What’s the concern? 

COREY LEWANDOWSKI: I don't think there is a concern with fact-checking. I think what the concern is, from both of the campaigns and what it should be, is that the moderator is not the person who is running for president of the United States. So I think you let the candidates debate, you let the candidates answer. You can hold people accountable, there’s no question. But I don’t think it’s the role of the moderator to inject themselves in so that they're making themselves part of the debate structure and people are talking about the the moderator after the debate. People should be talking about what the candidates say and let the candidates lay out their vision for America and let the people decide.
