CBS: Omarosa 3rd tape exposes lies re: WH staffers knowledge of "N" tapes

The foul Trump sycophant Katrina Pierson was just on CNN yesterday denying any knowledge... Omarosa got her and a few others this morning, it seems. Listen for yourself:

Clearly, she was there so she could do this sort of book after being there. She's an opportunist. I bet she started recording day one, when she got there.

Manigault-Newman claimed Sunday on 'Meet the Press' that Katrina Pierson, the national spokeswoman for the president's 2016 campaign, said on a conference call that Trump definitely used the slur.

Pierson told DailyMail.com on Sunday, however, that 'Omarosa is being intentionally dishonest in order to sell her new book.'

'First, I have never heard President Trump ever use the derogatory language that Omarosa claims. Also, I never confirmed the existence of an alleged tape from "The Apprentice" to her as she said today.'

'That’s a complete fabrication by Omarosa,' Pierson said. 'I feel pity for Omarosa as she embarrasses herself by creating salacious lies and distortions just to try to be relevant and enrich herself by selling books at the expense of the truth. "Unhinged," indeed.'

They are ALL LIARS....

To that end, Omarosa attempted to contact me just two days ago, but I refused to accept her call.

Like Ms. Manigault-Newman, I have also known and worked for both the President and his family for over a decade and am confident that they would collectively confirm that I know them far better than she.

To be clear, at no time did I participate in a conference call with Katrina Pierson advising me, Jason Miller and Omarosa Manigault-Newman that Frank Luntz had heard President Donald J. Trump use a derogatory racial term - a claim that Luntz himself has also denied.

I wondered where I had heard the name Katrina Pierson before, I remember reading about her, she was caught for a number of things like shoplifting, also collecting unemployment benefits that she was not eligible, my memory is a bit vague, but I wonder how she got on the Trump team.

I think you answered your own question: "shoplifting, ... collecting unemployment benefits that she was not eligible..." those are bullet points on her résumé.

It's hard to argue with that.

being done. It is interesting, though, that he is fighting SOOOOO hard not to be proven to have used the "N" word--something his hard core racist supporters would lap up.... I'm guessing it is important to him to maintain that last shred of "decency" for Ivanka et al., who've already sold their souls defending him against overt misogyny and antisemitism.

If, indeed (as it appears), he arranged via the inauguration committee to funnel $26 million to Burnett for the "festivity organization" (and as suggested to insure against those tapes seeing the light of day), then it seems his created monster, Omarosa, really DOES pose a threat and not merely a diversion for him.

Those secret tapes are too clear sounding like they were made in a studio.

It is no bombshell that Trump is a bigoted racist. This back and forth between Trump and Omarosa is Kabuki theater, reality TV. Trump's base will eat this up and cheer him on.

?Verified account @CBSThisMorning

POTUS says former White House staffer @Omarosa lied when she called him a racist who has said the N-word on tape. But a new recording, obtained by @CBSNews overnight, seems to back up Omarosa's story that several Trump advisers discussed an alleged tape during the 2016 campaign.

Everyday there's a distraction in this circus admin. This is just the latest. It's not distracting Mueller. Hell, Mueller might want to talk to Omarosa.
