You might have scoffed when Omarosa Manigault announced that she would become Trump's Director of African American Outreach last summer. But the Apprentice alum says that she's happy to support the President-Elect. Her choice has, however, cost her some close personal friendships.
In an interview with ABC's 20/20, Omarosa detailed the hurt she's experienced from friends who've left her side.
“There are people who stopped talking to me," she told the reporter. "It has been a very long, lonely…One of my bridesmaids, a woman who was going to be in my wedding in the Spring.. I will never forget the people who turned their backs on me when all I was trying to do was help the black community.
"It’s been so incredibly hard. I was called every single racial slur in the book that you could direct towards an African-American by African-Americans.”
Omarosa did not, however, back down from her early comments that all who doubted Trump will have to "bow down."
Political correspondent Danielle Moodie-Mills joined the Canadian Broadcast Corporation's election night coverage to tell the world exactly what so many of us are feeling about Trump's win.
Moodie-Mills explained to the host that Clinton's loss is not just about the country's sexism.
“I do not believe that this is people saying I couldn’t possibly have a woman in this role,” Moodie-Mills explained. “This is so much bigger than that. This is about — and I will say it because I have literally nothing left to lose tonight — this is literally white supremacy’s last stand in America. This is it. This is what this looks like.”
The activist was talking about the wave of hatred Donald Trump embraced throughout his campaign.
“This was black people being pushed out of rallies. This was a young boy with cerebral palsy and having his wheelchair kicked,” she continued. “This is hatred on a level that we have not seen since Jim Crow.”
Most people of color have recognized that Trump's movement is bolstered by hatred.
“We underestimated as Americans how deep our hatred was of ‘the other’, how deep white uneducated Americans felt about the demographic shift,” she said. “We underestimated that level of insidious hatred. And what you have is a man, he went around, he stoked every fire, he lit every bridge — every bridge — and just opened the floodgates.”
While Republicans continue to feign outrage about Donald Trump's disgusting "locker room talk," we're wondering when they'll stop supporting misogynistic public policy. Watch Kim break it down.
First Lady Michelle Obama has had it with Donald Trump. During her latest stop on the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, Mrs. Obama got personal as she excoriated Donald Trump's recently unearthed comments about women.
You could hear her voice shaking as spoke of the GOP's candidate. "I can't believe I'm saying a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women," Obama said.
"I've listened to this, and I feel it so personally," she said. "And I'm sure that many of you do, too -- particularly the women. The shameful comments about our bodies. The disrespect of our ambitions and intellect. The belief that you can do anything you want to a woman. That is cruel. It's frightening. And the truth is, it hurts."
"To dismiss this as everyday locker room talk is an insult to decent men everywhere," she said. "The men that you and I know don't treat women this way. They are loving fathers who are sickened by the thought of their daughters being exposed to this kind of vicious language about women."
Mrs. Obama has become an incredible orator during her time in the White House. That's why she's being hailed as Hillary Clinton's most capable surrogate.
