Please take a hard look at this event
What happens when affirmative action backfires
Does the employer get reluctant to continue with the program ?
How does this effect the community
We have a great economy but they are not hiring
Landlords are slow to jump on section 8 voucher opportunity
Look hard please at this affirmative action hire
That employer sitting in the hot seat being accused of discrimination could be you

Article


Asked why she would secretly record her conversations in the Trump campaign and White House, Manigault Newman told CBS that she did so to cover her back.
"In Trump world, everyone lies. Everyone says one thing one day and they change their story the next day. I wanted to have this type of documentation so that in the event I found myself in this position where, as you said, they're questioning my credibility, saying they never discussed the n-word tape, they had never heard these accusations, the president had never heard these accusations, when, in fact, this tape proves that they discussed it at high levels of the trump campaign," Manigault Newman said.
Whoa!! That isn't staged at all!

You can't sugar coat this -- everyone knew it was a stupid move.......why didn't he.
She was a devoted loyalist to Trump. Her public remark about his detractors having to bow down to him was the job interview. Loyalty matters more than competency in Trump world.

A few weeks ago, a local new radio had Scaramucci as a call in guest. This was before Omarosa began promoting her book. He said words to the effect a true loyalist would prove it by telling Trump what he needed to hear, instead of what he wanted to hear. Those who don’t, use Trump for their personal gain and he allows it. The WH is full of people who pretend to be loyal.

Time for them to be developing a platform on the issues, becoming the voice of the National Enquirer won't cut it in 2020.
Hillary announce yet?
The bolded is very true. Which begs the question ~ if WE knew this - why in the world did Donny put her in the WH?


We saw who she was on the Apprentice - didn't Donny?


Why did he give her a job on the taxpayer dime? I guess it's because she said 'nice things about him' per his tweets.


What a flippin moron.

She is going into the dust bin of history after throwing away that opportunity.
Trump’s picker is broken.

His perception of loyalty matters more than competency.

She is teasing with more tapes and is under his skin. Thus far today, he posted 8 tweets about her.

There may be another book in the making if she is willing to dish about his marriage and family.

She will go to the dust bin tens of $ millions wealthier.

If there is proof, provide the proof. I don't know if it will matter. I don't know many Trump supporters would be offended by the N-word anyway. They might praise Trump for it.

What I don't like is that this is just background noise if it isn't true. And it hampers any other effort to legitimately show that Trump is unfit for office. However, his supporters will use a situation like this Omarosa one to discredit all other anti-Trump efforts. "See? Omarosa made this all up? Fake news!" If she can't provide truth, it IS fake news. But, Trumplets will try to conflate this with all other real news and claim that it is all fake news... as long as it doesn't support Trump's narrative.

Omarosa voted for Barack and Hillary. She "begged" for a job with Trump because she had no where else to go.

Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pearson denied ever having a discussion about a tape with DJT using the N word on Fox last night:







Today Omarosa released a tape with Pearson and herself having that discussion. I guess Fox News was once again airing more fake news last night.
