report about how Omarosa Manigault Newman left the White House

I did not make a headline out of this, because 1) this is the first I've heard of this, and 2) it's rather...dramatic.

eta:

Ms. Manigault Newman’s departure was abrupt, according to a White House official, who said that Ms. Manigault Newman was “physically dragged and escorted off the campus” Tuesday evening.

When you first go to the link, you have to get past all their garbage, then eventually you see it. You get so many paragraphs free, then you have to login in or subscribe. If you go back a second time, it totally locks you with only paragraph free.

Tweeting rather . . . gleefully, I would say.

I predict a tweet from Omarosa claiming that she was raptured out of the White House, but chose to return and talked God out of it.

As to “escorted” or “dragged”.

I wouldn’t put it past her, but the report also says she’s leaving in January, so it is puzzling.

That implies coercion as in grasping her by the arms or pushing at her back, etc. Pretty damn dramatic stuff if true. If she was "dragged", I sure hope they have witnesses and/or video to back up their claims or she has a possible suit waiting. Not that I'm wishing for her to win a suit against the government, but if she was wrongfully touched, she has one.

Earlier reports suggested Kelly had it with her politicking for a cabinet post!
Granted, nearly no cabinet level person in this maladministration is qualified, but sheesh! She's barely qualified for "you want fries with that"! There's a million others who'd be better than her at that type job!

January, but when they wouldn't let her see Rump, who'd already signed her "You're fired," she made some kind of big, noisy fuss that required her to be removed by security. Plenty of leaks on that, of course. If she was forcibly removed instead of walking out under escort, it would have been her doing, of course. Presumably her $179,000 salary for not doing much of anything will continue to the January termination date.

After? Fox appearances? She's also an ordained minister, which can be a wonderful catapult for noisy attention seekers, so one way or another I imagine she's unfortunately not going to disappear.

I have married a lot of couples so the ID was important.

You can print out a certificate for free.

It is really free.

It is a really nice ID in a little carry case.

Only $5.

“General Kelly didn't allow her to speak to him. That’s why she was cursing and threatening,” according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Manigault Newman was then unceremoniously escorted from the West Wing.

“It got physical and she had to be removed,” the source said.



Got physical ? Hmm. I'm having WAY too much fun with this TMZ-style side of the idiot's WH.

The Secret Service was not involved in the termination process of Ms Manigault Newman or the escort off of the complex. Our only involvement in this matter was to deactivate the individual's pass which grants access to the complex.
