Corey Lewandowski repeatedly mentioned how "beautiful" First Lady Melania Trump is during an appearance Wednesday on "Fox & Friends."
Lewandowski, a former campaign manager for Donald Trump, forcefully defended the president's previously unreported second meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at last week's G-20 summit, and he commented on the beauty of Trump's wife three times in less than a minute.

Melania Trump was seated next to Putin at the Friday dinner, which was a social event for the world leaders and their spouses. For his part, President Trump said the story about his meeting with Putin was more "fake news."

Appearing on "Fox & Friends," Lewandowski said the story was much ado about the president simply getting up and speaking with his "stunningly beautiful" wife.
"Forty people were at that dinner," Lewandowski said. "Obviously, the G-20 leaders and their spouses. Our best representative, who is stunningly beautiful and incredibly intelligent, sat next to Vladimir Putin at the request of the German chancellor. She had a conversation with Vladimir Putin. It was her dinner partner for a few hours. Big deal."
"And then you know what the president did, our president? He got up and he walked over and he saw his beautiful wife, the first lady of the United States, and he had 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, and is incredibly intelligent, and is a great representative of our country?"
President Trump is a known fan of "Fox & Friends" and often watches and tweets about the show.
