Just hours after being fired as Donald Trump’s campaign manager last year, Corey Lewandowski was sitting down for an interview at CNN’s New York studios.

The interviewer, Dana Bash, repeatedly asked Lewandowski about the drama inside the campaign that led to his expulsion from the campaign, but he religiously avoided offering anything but praise for his former boss. Lewandowski told Bash he’d still do “everything I can to make sure” Trump is elected president.
