Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was dropped from his speakers bureau after he refused to apologize for mocking a story about a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was separated from her family at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Leading Authorities Inc. cut ties with Lewandowski on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

Lewandowski drew considerable backlash after his Tuesday appearance on Fox News, when former Zac Petkanas, a former rapid response director for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign, discussed a Wall Street Journal report about a child with Down syndrome being separated from her parents. Lewandowski dismissed the story by saying, "Womp, womp."

“Did you say 'womp womp' to a 10-year-old with Down syndrome?” Petkanas asked Lewandowski, repeatedly saying: "How dare you!"

When asked the next day on Fox News if he wanted to apologize, Lewandowski responded with: "An apology? I owe an apology to the children whose parents are putting them in a position that is forcing them to be separated?"
