Trump is the Problem, Not his Staff

DNC National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach issued the following statement on news that Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, has been fired:

“Corey Lewandowski is not the problem, it’s Donald Trump. It wasn’t Corey Lewandowski who called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, it was Donald Trump. It wasn’t Corey Lewandowski who disparaged a federal judge born in Indiana because his parents were ‘Mexican’, it was Donald Trump. Today’s shuffling of staff does nothing to make up for  Trump’s divisive and racist comments and policies. It does reinforce, however, that there’s no one Trump won’t throw overboard for his own personal benefit, just as he’s done his entire life.”
