Reality star Omarosa gives her two cents on Pence

- Helena Andrews-Dyer The Washington Post

FORMER reality star, turned White House aide, turned reality star Omarosa is still going strong – and spilling tea – as a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother.

On Monday night’s episode, Omarosa, who previously declared on the show that she wouldn’t vote for Donald Trump again “in a million years”, said that a Mike Pence administra­tion would be worse.

“As bad as ya’ll think Trump is you would be worried about Pence,” said Omarosa.

“So everybody that’s wishing for impeachmen­t might want to reconsider their lives. We would be begging for days of Trump back if Pence became president.” Why? “He’s extreme,” said Omarosa of the vice-president. “I’m Christian. I love Jesus. But he thinks Jesus tells him to say things. I’m like, ‘Jesus ain’t saying that’.” In addition to being a “reality legend” Omarosa in an ordained minister.

As the “house guests”, a group of C-list celebritie­s trapped in a studio together, sat around to discuss illegal immigratio­n and the Obamaera programme known as Daca, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Omarosa also chimed in with her expert two cents.

“No, we’re not okay,” she said. “I’ve seen the plan. The round-up plan is getting more and more aggressive.”

Earlier in the show, fellow contestant Ross Mathews said of Omarosa: “Every time she opens her mouth, I’m like, is she going to drop a bomb?” And the answer, of course, is yes.

It also might be a part of the former senior White House aide’s strategy. Who doesn’t want to hang around and gossip with the woman willing to spill all the political tea on her former boss, who just so happens to be the leader of the free world?
