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.

(62,444 posts)One would suppose there were multiple witnesses to that. Is this confirmed anywhere other than tweets?

Unidentified source, but I would think the WSJ would be fairly careful about confirming its story..

(82,849 posts)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.
steve2470
(37,457 posts)One would hope that's a gross exaggeration. I'm sure she was not happy about leaving.
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)As to escorted or dragged.
I wouldnt put it past her, but the report also says shes leaving in January, so it is puzzling.
steve2470
(37,457 posts)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.
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)As in dragged out kicking and screaming. It perhaps may have not been literal, but other reports suggest a ruckus.

(37,457 posts)jberryhill
(62,444 posts)I believe she can bring the drama, so it was likely more than these kind gentlemen will see you safely out.

(65,076 posts)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!

(58,785 posts)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.

The Universal Life Church.
There are other.on line places as well.

(58,785 posts)old-fashioned away, ordained by their churches, which I read this woman was. Suckers. We've also known a couple who couldn't resist purchasing "ordination," but neither ever told us of any particularly interesting things they might have done with it.

(1,588 posts)Unless you want to buy something like a ID card.
It is legal.
I can marry and bury.
I did it to marry a couple I knew.

(1,588 posts)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.

(37,457 posts)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.

(57,489 posts)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.

If not, then is Tangeranus bringing in private security?
