For their counter-programming for the Democratic convention, Republicans brought in Omarosa Manigault, a former contestant on the first season of Donald Trump's television show "The Apprentice," to take on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's foreign policy views on Tuesday.

Sean Spicer is the Republican National Committee's communications director and chief strategist. His tweet promoting Maginault's appearance at the press conference highlights the difference between Trump's surrogates and the prominent officials willing to go to bat for Clinton.

The mockery on Twitter was swift.

2. No. Wait, WHAT???? Seriously? A fucking reality TV person to critique

Clinton on foreign policy????

Why? Because he has a foreign-sounding name???? Yeah, that conveys expertise right there. Uh huh.

5. THIS ISN'T THE ONION? What altered dimension do we live in?

[AwakeAtLast]

24. I thought it was Borowitz

[FSogol]

6. LOL, the Onion is going to go out of business. Real life has crashed satire. n/t

[Native]

9. This is so true. Like half the stuff I read on Borowitz's FB page I find myself actually believing.

It's even working in reverse for me. WTF?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. If Trump wins, it will be in spite of his completely amateurish campaign. . . nt

[MrWendel]

8. The best Trump can do...

is bring out "I'm-a-hoe-sa"?

[LonePirate]

11. She's unqualified to rebut Clinton on foreign policy but we should not slur her name like that on DU

[jtuck004]

16. Before everyone jumps up to to call her a boot-licker or ass-kisser, to denote her greed and

ignorance, read her wiki page. Look for her foreign policy experience among the mention of her being a game show contestant.

Then calling her a"boot-licker or ass-kisser, to denote her greed and ignorance" makes a lot more sense". 'Cause there isn't any.

And, she is the swindler's "new director of African-American outreach". Ought to be worth a few million, yes?

Oh yeah, that other name used - it disrespects women. I would send it away.

I wonder who hurt her so bad she went to work for that buffoon?

[Scorpionflyx]

12. Cmon...is this a joke?

Gee why not Chachi ?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Scott Baio was at a car wash opening in Kentucky.

[MissB]

14. Ah hahahahahahahahahaha

Omg

[Mendocino]

15. What...David Duke was too busy

ironing his sheets?

[avebury]

17. Now that is pretty funny! What on earth

would she know about foreign policy.

[closeupready]

18. She's actually quite brilliant - for example:

[world wide wally]

19. They'll probably pre-empt the convention speaker to change veer this crucial press conference

and never ask her anything but softball questions

[4lbs]

21. LOL. What does Omarosa know about foreign policy?

How many world leaders has Ms. Trumpette met?

[Judi Lynn]

22. Radically strange. n/t

[BlueInPhilly]

23. But Trump "Fired her"

I sporadically watched that first season of Apprentice.

And I liked Caroline whats-her-name, but she no longer works for Trump. Wonder why?
