Oh, heavens... Omarosa to be on Hardball with Matthews (coming up after Ari) (Original Post) hlthe2b Aug 2018 OP
That should be... weird. The Velveteen Ocelot Aug 2018 #1
yeah... I'm "over" her interviews but the dynamic should be.... weird, at least. hlthe2b Aug 2018 #2
Matthews doesn't do interviews. He does talk-overs. Mike Rows His Boat Aug 2018 #12
She's been pretty good at putting a halt to that with other interviewers... hlthe2b Aug 2018 #13

Sure, but she's sure to get under Tweety's skin (or vice versa) so rubber necking time... hlthe2b Aug 2018 #4
Might be worth watching because she hates to be interrupted Funtatlaguy Aug 2018 #5

Wasn't a train wreck. She came off as credible emulatorloo Aug 2018 #22

and the rest of the Trump WH crew.

She's known Trump since 2002 and so far, the recordings have backed up everything quoted in her book. I don't think she deserves to be dismissed out of hand. For comparison, Bob Woodward has a book coming out on the inner workings of the Trump WH. No one will dismiss him even though he'll have talked to the exact same people Omarosa knows and Michael Wolff interviewed.

Actually, a lot. She's not the most stable person to have ever worked in the White House, but I have no doubt that a lot of what she is saying is true. Also, she is getting under Trump's skin, so true or not, she is helping us out. The more freaked out he gets, the better.

But somehow only noticed that he is a racist asshole after he fired her for real. How did half the country figure this out before she did?

That kind of struck me right away that she was being treated more dismissively than Spicer, for ex, and her gender and race were a big reason why.

It's a play on the word for African Americans in the 1950's - Negroe.
