Womp Womp reporter

Corey Lewandowski says “womp womp” during a 2018 Fox News discussion about a child with Down syndrome, now used as a dismissive reaction clip.

This brief political reaction clip captures Corey Lewandowski delivering a flat, sarcastic “womp womp” in response to a story about a child with Down syndrome being separated from her mother. The phrase imitates a descending comedic trombone cue traditionally used after failure or disappointment. Here, its blunt timing and the seriousness of the discussion create an especially jarring contrast. Online, editors use the audio to mock exaggerated complaints, dismiss an unfortunate outcome, or underline a moment when someone receives little sympathy from the audience.
