But she should just stop explaining her support for the racist pig in the White House.

If she says I’m a completely unprincipled opportunist, fine. Otherwise shut up about it.

But I sure as hell won't be giving Omarossa any money. Especially when she did this BS not too long ago:

She's describing a synopsis of revelation into the character of her employer, friend and mentor.

We all do the best we can and make choices we feel are the best opportunities for our future and our security in a world where luck has as much to do with "success" as anything else.

Omarosa 'documented' her transition from loyal supporter to betrayed apostate.

This may be a story of redemption as much as anything else. Redemption for a lot of people, I hope.

You’d think that by 25 any black person with a brain would realize a racist is not who to hitch your wagon to.

You'd think Main Stream Media might have focused on that for they year prior to him winning the primary and the Electoral College.

I'm not going to hold "the black woman" to a higher standard.

No one else. Your deflections are your own. I'm in fucking tears that I have to even give her a second thought every day because of America's celebrity culture gone nuclear.



I hope she and everyone else who enabled Trump meet miserable ends.

from prestigious Howard University; post graduate towards doctorate and is an ordained minister.

Aside from her being stunningly beautiful, her impressive credentials she is a confident intelligent, poised woman who is not done by any means, or ready for a rocking chair.

It's interesting that a man's career, advances; enjoys increased earnings, diversifiesportfio is seen as successful, aggresive, ambitious..a woman at any age-not; and get this, a man can be 70 yrs old as dumb as a rock (my apologies to rocks) can be literally a know nothing about well anything; has litreally stagnated at toddler stage ...is 5xdraft dodger, 5x bankruptcy debtor... is corrupt as hell...yet he can become president...(and h.clinton-not ) absolutely stunning!

Yet, this young woman of 44 has "cut her own path" and in the face of adversity dusted off her sandals and is moving foward. I wish her the best, hopefully she's caught to what we all knew..that her boss is a racist, con, crook. I've never read a tabloid or watched a realty show in my life, didn't know anything about the odious oaf brand his silly reality show or ever heard the name, Omarosa Manigault Newman, that is before 2015... yet, listening to her this past week with a little research ( background. education, credentials (not being reported, why? ) ...I've come to the conclusion that odious traitor and racist in WH, kelly, her critics, have grossly underestimated this woman...for the life of me can't figure out why--can you?

44 years

After graduating from The Rayen School in Youngstown, she earned a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism[10] in 1996 at Central State University[11][12] in Wilberforce, Ohio.[13] She later moved to Washington, DC to attend Howard University, where she earned a master's degree[12] and worked toward a doctorate in communication, but did not finish.[14][15] Omarosa has also received biblical studies training at Payne Theological Seminary in Wilberforce, Ohio.[13

Like her boss (notice I don't say ex-boss) she's the lowest common denominator. America is obsessed with celebrity and this is what we are stuck with.

If you wish to kiss her ass, be my guest. I'm not even going to respond. Because it's quite frankly not worth it.

I'm glad that she's getting under Spanky's skin, but once she's done with that I hope she just goes away. It's very obvious she's in this for fame and fortune, otherwise she'd have never gotten involved with Spanky in the first place.

She doesn't get my respect. I do hope she takes down trump. I doubt she will. But, she will never have my respect.

I can't stand her. She is a money grubbing fame whore. I'm glad that her book is annoying Trump but I don't want people to think she is some kind of hero. She will do anything for money and fame.

13. Hillary Clinton Was Not Going To Give Her A Job

She supported Donald Trump because Donald Trump benefited her. Therefore, she was another Les Moonves. Omarosa continued to support Donald Trump even though she thought he had used the N-word because Hillary Clinton was not going to be foolish enough to give her a job because Hillary Clinton was not desperate to have any black person standing by her side. Also, Omarosa would never have been able to blackmail Hillary Clinton. Why would Hillary Clinton need to send out Chelsea to offer Omarosa a $15,000 per month salary just to keep quite? Omarosa would never have been able to write a tell all book about Hillary Clinton's White House that anyone would have wanted to buy because Hillary Clinton's White House would not have been the equivalent of a zoo with all the animals let out of their cages.

I think Omarosa had this whole thing planned. She knew the real Donald Trump. She had either been around Trump, or people who knew him. As a result, she knew what things would be like in the White House if he won election. Being on Trump's team would have allowed her to write a tell all even if Trump had not won. However, if he did win she could get a high paying job and then write about the chaos in that White House. If the family made it worth her while the book idea could be thrown in the dustbin. I guess the family did not make it worth her while. Maybe she was looking for more than $150,000 per month.
