Black Twitter celebrates as Omarosa gets canned from White House job: 'Congratulations - you played
yourself!’
With the news that former reality TV star Omarosa Manigault Newman has been ousted from her job as a Trump White House aide, many Twitter users pounced to mock her firing.
Many black Twitter users in particular seemed to relish Omarosa’s ouster, as they have long seen her as a token fig leaf used to provide cover for President Donald Trump’s use of racist dog whistles, including his attacks on “ungrateful” black athletes who protest police violence during the national anthem and his past assertions that former President Barack Obama was born in Kenya instead of the United States.
