Omarosa - it was 'very lonely' working with White House staffers who'd never worked with minorities

Following her abrupt departure from the White House, Omarosa Manigault Newman said that the White House's "lack of diversity" made her feel "very lonely."

"It has been very, very challenging being the only African-American woman in the senior staff," Newman said to ABC News' "Nightline" on Thursday.

Newman also noted that working with staffers in the Trump administration, most of whom are white, was "very lonely," and that many "had never worked with minorities" and "didn't know how to interact with them."

It's very lonely when you have a personality like Omarosa's and no one likes you.

6. Gee, maybe she should not have chosen to work for a Republican, if she wanted diversity.

But watch, she's going to still be totally loyal to Trump, who has nothing, nothing to do with the all-white racist staff.

Seems to me some of her problem was her nasty disposition and ugly personality. I don’t doubt that there was rascism left and right, but you also can’t expect people to embrace you and treat you fairly and with respect if you are a Grade A bitch in your day to day interactions with them. Her entitled, “I have the bosses’ ear” attitude didn’t help either. When it was clear she was stirring up trouble with tRump by carrying gossip and disturbing information to him, Kelly did what he needed to do. What do you want to bet she had already been warned to stop and she did it anyway.? Kelly just had to do what any good manager would do. He got rid of the source of irritation.
