President Trump is the "fool" for hiring Omarosa Manigault Newman to work at the White House, conservative commentator Michael Reagan told Newsmax TV.
During a panel discussion on Tuesday's "Newsmax Now," Reagan addressed the growing scandal involving the former reality TV star who secretly taped conversations she had with Trump and others in the White House. Omarosa, who worked as the director of African-American Outreach on Trump's campaign, also claimed Trump has used racist language despite never making that assertion until after she was fired from the White House in December.
"My question is, why did he hire her in the first place?" Reagan said. "She might be all of the things the president says she is, but he's the fool for hiring her in the first place. He knew what he was going to get.
"And I think if you ask anybody on the street what they thought of Omarosa before he hired her, they knew this was the direction she would have been going and this is how it would have ended."
