Omarosa

Omarosa Manigault has been in the news recently for her new tell-all book about Trump and her tenure in the White House ...



She's been pretty beaten up by the different talking heads for her lack of credibility, but I have to wonder why she deserves more contempt than other former WH employees like white nationalist Steve Bannon or grifter Scott Pruitt or wife-beater Rob Porter..

All most of us know of her is that she's a reality tv show personality. I've never even seen any of her tv stuff. But, for some context: Her father was murdered when she was just seven. She earned a BA and a master's degree (Howard University). She's probably one of the few people Trump chose for his WH staff who actually had previous WH experience ... she worked in Al Gore's office during Bill Clinton's administration ...

"Omarosa did used to work in the White House before she was on the Apprentice. So, if you're comparing her credibility to others he brought in the White House, she's probably a little more credible than them. It was a low level position but..."- @TheRevAl w/ @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/IPRFTlI5UG

And Lordy, she has tapes!

So, to paraphrase an old saying, maybe in this instance the enemy of our enemy can be our friend.
