They will probably have two play her. Sasheer Zamata playing the happy version and Leslie Jones playing her going berserk.

from the above article
..snip
...." Manigault Newman, who had a somewhat tumultuous tenure in the White House, was fired by Kelly on Tuesday, Garrett reports. Kelly gave her until Jan. 20 to leave. But Newman did not like those terms and tried to renegotiate. Kelly said no. So, she appealed to Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter, but she took no action. Newman then found her way to the White House residence, where she tripped the alarms. Kelly became angry, and had her escorted from the building. It is unclear who did the escorting."



Angry ex Marine general (who has made misogynist statements in the recent past)acting as Chief of Staff in a big WH, surrounded by US Marine guards. The SecService had issued a statement saying they didn't put her out of the building, just turned off her access.

Aside from being aware that the bloodsucking cockroach trump cares nothing about anyone or anything but himself, and that there is nothing he will not do to protect himself, the most important thing to know about this festering pus-bag is that he wants revenge on everyone and everything.

Do not be surprised.

They were going to let her "resign" gracefully, but she blew it. Sounds like she fell apart. And like she, too, has an ego problem.

The usual it's all cordial and all.

She's putting up the right appearances so she can sell her tell all book. But my god she comes across as a slick snake oil salesman in that interview. The poor victim of the attacks of a single reporter out there.

"Stay tuned for my book which will be filled with all kinds of inside secrets and the truth about what REALLY happened."

And then she made sure to let us know that EVERYONE would be dying to read her book.

.....for not trying to suppress the A-A vote in Alabama? I read that she was the A-A Outreach Coordinator or something for Trump (a pointless job if I ever heard of one). Maybe they felt she did not do enough to keep A-A voters at home. A few percent not voting and we’d probably have Senator Moore.
I didn’t realize that she was in the Trump administration until I saw the story, and had to ask my wife who she was.
