In between his defense, Lewandowski did not miss any opportunities to praise First Lady Melania Trump’s looks:

“Our best representative, who is stunningly beautiful and incredibly intelligent, sat next to Vladimir Putin at the request of the German chancellor,” he started.
At another point in the interview, Lewandowski spoke of Trump seeing “his beautiful wife” and having a conversation with her.
“How is this […] anything other than the President of the United States going over and seeing the first lady, who, by the way, speaks five languages, is incredibly beautiful, is incredibly intelligent and is a great representative of our country?” he added.
Unsurprisingly, several people expressed discomfort about the exchange:
