Omarosa Manigault Newman was an idiot for trying to outmaneuver White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and avoid being fired.
But that’s exactly what happened on Tuesday, when President Trump’s public liaison officer was fired by the White House chief of staff.
The Wall Street Journal reports a source who described Manigault being “physically dragged and escorted off the campus.” White House reporter April Ryan says things were worse than that. Manigault, she says, apparently demanded to see Trump and was “very vulgar” to Kelly when he refused. Ryan then says Manigault tried to access the White House residence anyway!
Bad move.
Unamused Secret Service officers and agents unsurprisingly refused to grant access to the irate staffer, and she was forced from the compound. Indeed, Manigault was lucky that she was not arrested or otherwise more forcibly detained: As I’ve explained, the Secret Service take a very dim view of individuals who attempt to gain unauthorized proximity to the president.

Hopefully the housecleaning will continue.
I’m going to bet that neither the media version, nor the White House/Secret Service version of this story are entirely true.
Honestly, what does this communications liaison job entail? Or was this a do-nothing job created for a Trump friend?
It wouldn’t surprise me either. They both have a record of lying. I think that it was another job given as a reward for loyalty or some such service to his campaign.
Thing that bothers me is we are paying for these do-nothing jobs for Trump’s friends.
