Trump administration aide Omarosa Manigault Newman reportedly set off White House alarms in an attempt to gain access to the residence after learning that she had been fired from her job.

According to a report from CBS News, Manigault Newman tried to enter the White House residence after chief of staff John Kelly told her that her employment in the administration would end in January.

Manigault Newman, a former star of President Trump’s former NBC show “The Apprentice,” has served as the director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison.

April Ryan, a journalist with American Urban Radio Networks, reported during an on-air appearance with CNN that "everything blew up" when Kelly attempted to discuss Manigault Newman's walk-in privileges and access to Trump.

Ryan reported Manigault Newman saying that "all hell will break loose" if she lost walk-in privileges. Kelly, according to Ryan, said "OK, all hell is going to break loose."

Kelly reportedly began restricting Manigault Newman's access in September.

The White House said Wednesday that Manigault Newman provided her resignation and that her last day of employment would be Jan. 20. The White House did not confirm that Manigault Newman was fired.

The Secret Service said it was not “involved” in removing Manigault Newman from the premises, but said the agency deactivated her credentials.

You have to have at least one of everything on the team, the right proportion of young, old, male, female, black, white, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Atheist, straight, LGBTQXPZ, conservative, God Damned Commie, or you will be hauled before the Equal Opportunity Commission and shamed, berated, humiliated and penance exacted.

That is probably the main reason. I never watched 'The Apprentice', but from what I've read she generated a lot of buzz and ratings when she was on there, so Trump probably felt some loyalty and put her where he thought she couldn't do too much damage. He wished her well yesterday.

Robin Roberts made no attempt to hide her disdain for guest Omarosa Manigault on Thursday after she appeared on Good Morning America.

The aide to President Trump sat down with Michael Strahan for her first interview since reports emerged that she was fired from the White House, and managed to tell her side of the story with no real push back from the ABC morning show co-host.

That friendly chat proved to be too much for Roberts however, especially after the sit-down wrapped and Strahan joked: 'I don't know if she's ever going to have a relationship with [President Trump]. Fourth time could be the charm.'

Roberts responded by coolly turning her face towards George Stephanopoulos and saying: 'She said she has a story to tell and I'm sure she'll be selling that story.'

The legendary newswoman then paused for a beat, looked directly at the camera, and said: 'Bye Felicia.'

Why else is anyone on GMA other than to sell a book or movie, or stir up interest in publishing/producing one?

Apparently she has worked for Trump since her time on the Apprentice. She said today she has worked for him for 14 years.

Tough decision? She was apparently making 180000/yr for doing virtually nothing. Sounds like an easy decision to me.

$180,000 she should have kept her mouth shut on whatever she was or was not doing.

Did you watch Tucker? All these reports of “physically dragged” etc. etc. come from one reporter. There probably is something to this story, but I wouldn’t trust April Ryan on any aspect of this story.

And probably had zero expenses on top of that. Food, car, etc. were probably all paid for.

Some people don't know when they have it good and just shut the fuck up.

Omarosa was always a drama queen; a nut even by celebrity standards. As her celebrity profile increased, she was one of the few black women who went against the grain of black women and their social/political positions. IN other words, she's one less conservative in the public eye, ostracized by her own racial community, see Stacy Dash, Janice Rogers Brown, Condoleezza Rice...
