Longtime Donald Trump political adviser Corey Lewandowski, who served as Trump’s first campaign manager, resurfaced from his sewer in mid-September 2023 when it was revealed that he has been having a sustained affair with GOP South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
Vanity Fair had this headline, “Governor Kristi Noem, ‘God-Fearing’ Family Woman, and Corey Lewandowski, Trump Creep, Reportedly Had ‘Yearslong’ Affair.
Noem touts her love of her husband, three children, and her commitment to religious principles.
Lewandowski and his wife, Alison, have four children.
Lewandowski has been long been identified with Donald Trump, but he’s been identified longer as a creep, bully, and sexual predator.
In 2021, Lewandowski was ousted from his job overseeing a Super PAC that supported the former president after a donor accused him of making unwanted sexual advances and touching her inappropriately at a event in Las Vegas.
The donor, Trashelle Odom, made the following allegation in a statement that was reported by Politico and the New York Times.
“He repeatedly touched me inappropriately, said vile and disgusting things to me, stalked me, and made me feel violated and fearful,” she said. “I am coming forward because he needs to be held accountable.”

In March 2016, Michelle Fields, a reporter for the right-wing website Breitbart, accused Lewandowski of forcibly yanking her away from Trump after a Florida news conference, the New York Times reported.
Yet Lewandowski, who was then Trump’s campaign manager, denied that he did anything inappropriate.
Trump defended Lewandowski and criticized Fields’s allegation.
“Wow, Corey Lewandowski, my campaign manager and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter. Look at tapes — nothing there!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
A video of the incident confirmed Fields’ account.
In November 2017, a singer named Joy Villa, a Trump supporter, filed a complaint that said Lewandowski had slapped her on the butt during a party at the Trump International Hotel in Washington.
Other media reports have further portrayed Lewandowski as a “sexist jerk.”
The Daily Beast and Politico published stories that said Lewandowski’s co-workers said that he was abusive and sexist while he worked at Americans for Prosperity, a conservative political advocacy group.
This included including bragging about threatening to blow up a co-worker’s car, hitting on female coworkers, and calling one a “c**t” in front of several other employees.

What Trump possibly sees in Lewandowski is anyone’s guess.
