Sanders Responds to Omarosa Recording

The White House on Sunday shot back at Omarosa Manigault Newman’s secret recording of her dismissal last year, saying it “proves” her “lack of character and integrity.” 

“The very idea a staff member would sneak a recording device into the White House Situation Room, shows a blatant disregard for our national security – and then to brag about it on national television further proves the lack of character and integrity of this disgruntled former White House employee,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Sunday evening.

Earlier Sunday Manigault Newman revealed her secret recording of her termination by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.

"This is a White House where everybody lies ... you have to have your back," she said defending the recording. 

"If I did not have this recording, people would still believe the false, incredible story that I was running around the White House … that I tried to charge the residence of the White House. People would still think that I was trying to set off alarms," she continued. "So yes, I recorded myself and I have no regret about it."

Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer called her secret recording, which reportedly took place in the Situation Room, “a massive violation of security protocol.”

“She taped the chief of staff for the White House in the Situation Room, clearly a violation of every security protocol that she signed when she applied for a security clearance,” he said on "Fox News Sunday."

Manigault Newman wrote a memoir that’s out this week titled “Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House.”

Lets discuss the Elephant in the Room....
Does anyone (except the media) even care if the F-Bomb got dropped?
I know very few people who have not, at one time or another dropped the F-Bomb.

Next, if its so bad, why is it perfectly acceptable for any African American...er...lets be real, unless your a recent immigrant from an African nation, your an American to say this word without recrimination, you put it in your rap music, you spout it on talk shows, you extoll it in movies, and everything is cool.

We as a nation are being censured by the Black Community as to how we can speak, and its one way, their way. And it is not open to discussion. They are morally outraged if anyone BUT Themselves speak in this manner.

Yet they can call the rest of us Whitey, Crackers, slant eyes, gooks, anything they want and are not held to the same standard.

Omorosa was fired by Kelly, and that is his job. He consulted with Trump and was instructed to give her every opportunity to conform, she did not.

I am saddened that she is not held to the same security requirements that every American citizen is held to, and is not arrested at this time, her book banned from publication, and even the publisher held to account. She pledged at the time of hiring an oath of office, and should IMO be in jail right now.

But that make Trump a bad guy, right?

Who provided Omarosa the ability to access a recording device while in the Situation Room?

That person is the high level traitor.

According to Spicer she sat in a few meetings and had security clearance, so she did have at least some access.

I know some people here flip out if anything other than 100% positive is said about DJT, but how about a little intellectual honesty here...in this case it’s absolutely fair to say he misjudged her character.

No idea why she was hired for a WH position, but this is sounding more and more like a preplanned payback for being fired on The Apprentice and all the crap she got from the public for being such an arrogant beotch, not to mention from her own team on the show.

She has nothing, her book won't sell, her interviews will expose her (except for The View), and she has no future. Hope she winds up in a tent on skid-row.

Oh darn, just remembered she is a black woman. That must be my problem with her. It has nothing to do with her being an arrogant big-mouth on the Apprentice I watched in the early years. No, must be I'm a racist.

“According to Spicer she sat in a few meetings and had security clearance, so she did have at least some access.”

There is no way Omarosa was provided a high level security clearance by President Trump.

Yet, if it weren’t for double standards, leftist would have no standards at all.

Uttering the n-bomb is akin to committing first degree murder in the political world. It doesn’t matter when it may have happened. If someone is on tape using it, it’s over.

Although I don’t believe such a tape exists, it would be the end for Trump, and quite frankly would leave him even more jaded than if true collusion/conspiracy with Russia had been found. It would also give undeserved perceived ‘cred’ to all the libs frothing at the mouth for the last 2 years calling him a racist. Literally it would be a nuclear explosion for the republicans. It’s insane.

Meanwhile blacks can throw it around like a friendly greeting with zero repercussion.

Yes, for some reason, every American citizen is not able to gain access to a recording device inside the White House Security Room.

Many people are missing the point. Once again, the left controls the narrative. She was fired for criminality!

Sure, she did violate security protocols on her way out the door, but she was already (credibly) accused of crimes!

Googoo, Bing, etc. have pushed that fact into the memory hole - see if you can find it!

“ARREST the PHONY”

Your sights are far too low.

Who placed her in the Trump White House?

Who provided her with access to a recording device in the White House Situation Room?

That is your traitor.

She needs to face felony charges and actually be prosecuted - if only to prove and remind everyone that we are a country of laws.

I’ve never heard the recording. Is there a transcript of it somewhere?

Never mind. I found a part on theconservativetreehouse. Interesting she asked if the president was aware of what’s going on.

That’s like a food server in the cafeteria of the main building for a fortune 500 company, as she’s being let go, asking if the CEO is aware of what’s going on. It’s a stupid question.

I’m not sure how a recording of her being fired proves she didn’t run around setting off alarms. It’s not like she was going to say on tape that she did it, or that she would have taped herself doing it.

I have no idea if she did the things she’s been accused of.

On the other hand, I now know for a fact that she was untrustworthy, and had no concept of following rules, so that in itself is worse than the things she was accused of.

“She needs to face felony charges and actually be prosecuted - if only to prove and remind everyone that we are a country of laws.”

She should be prosecuted, along with the person or persons who provided her with access to a recording device in the Situation Room.

Omarosa Is not the problem.

The problem is that the White House Situation Room is not secure.
