Omarosa: I saw things in Trump White House 'I was very uncomfortable with'

BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 12/14/17 08:21 AM EST

Outgoing aide to President Trump Omarosa Manigault Newman said on Thursday that she observed things in the White House during her tenure that made her uncomfortable and that upset her.

"There were a lot of things that I observed during the last year that I was very unhappy with, that I was very uncomfortable with," Manigault Newman, who led communications at the Office of Public Liaison, told Michael Strahan on ABC's "Good Morning America."

"I'm not going to expand on it because I still have to go back and work with these individuals, but when I have a chance to tell my story, Michael, quite a story to tell as the only African-American woman in this White House as a senior staff and assistant to the president, I have seen things that made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people. And when I can tell my story, it is a profound story that I know the world will want to hear," she said.




Manigault Newman's comments come one day after it was revealed she would be leaving the White House following her 11-month tenure.

Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the former "Apprentice" contestant had handed in her resignation and would complete her duties by Jan. 20, but reports emerged that Manigault Newman had been fired and escorted off the premises while shouting and cursing.

She's waiting for her book deal to be finalized.

".... but when I have a chance to tell my story, ...... quite a story to tell as the only African-American woman in this White House as a senior staff and assistant to the president, I have seen things that made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people. And when I can tell my story, it is a profound story that I know the world will want to hear," ..... "

See? She's got the back cover blurb copy-written already.

This should get VERY interesting.

Omarosa should think for a minute about 'Short-fingered Don's' New York mob ties and what can be done with little birdies who sing.

Don't fall for the trap.

If she had that much of an issue with Donnie's racism, she never would have joined his campaign in the first place. This is a smokescreen for something bigger...

That not telling her story immediately might cost 200 million of us our Medicare, healthcare, homes, lives?

Nah, she dont care, at all.

What she wants is money and I then wonder what is it she would be appalled by? Staffers expressing concern for poor people? Is her "dirt" the kind of stuff that reinforces her bias , does she see racism as wrong?

If she tells the truth that trump and bannon and miller (what is that nazis name, stephen miller?) all use the N word daily, the F word for gays, etc. will people believe her?

We already know they do that. The people who need to learn it, wont.

Who is still out THERE who could be changed by this revelation who still believes trump and team are NOT racists, etc?

She's alluding to the fact that she knows something, and she's doing this publicly. I'd love to see her have to testify for free as opposed to making big bucks on a book deal, etc.
