This morning, news broke that Trump aide (or as she’s officially known, the director of communications for the White House Public Liaison Office”) Omarosa Manigault Newman resigned. There weren’t many details surrounding her departure. According to initial reports, she simply wanted “to pursue other opportunities.”
Sarah Sanders released a simple statement.
“Omarosa Manigault Newman resigned yesterday to pursue other opportunities. Her departure will not be effective until January 20, 2018. We wish her the best in future endeavors and are grateful for her service.”
Alrighty then.
In the original report, I noted that there were rumors that she was FIRED.
I am hearing from several sources there was a lot of drama at the White House last night and it wasn’t about the Alabama election. #fired. Stay tuned

I’m seeing more and more of that now. In fact, word has it Kelly fired her. She apparently cursed him out, and he gave her the boot. There are even reports that she was escorted out by security.
Sources say General Kelly did the firing and Omarosa is alleged to have acted very vulgar and cursed a lot and said she helped elect President Trump. The word is a General Kelly had it and got rid of her.

The Omarosa plot thickens. Reports that Kelly fired her, and she responded with a furious barrage of curses. Had to be escorted off the grounds by security

When people in her position get fired, it’s always said they “resigned.” It’s for the sake of appearances. But April Ryan is reporting Omarosa was fired and she was yelling and cursing as they escorted her out. So yeah, she was fired.

Omarosa didn't quit.
She was fired for her outbursts & vulgarity (escorted off grounds by security).
No one who knows her seems surprised.— Philip Schuyler (@FiveRights) December 13, 2017
Danggggggg. This sounds a lot uglier than they initially made it sound.
