Former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman says in her new book that President Trump repeatedly used a racial slur during tapings of his show “The Apprentice” — and that it was documented on tape.

The reality television star and former White House aide who was fired from her position last year writes in "Unhinged" that sources told her of the existence of a tape of Trump using a racial slur during outtakes for NBC's reality show, according to a report by The Guardian. The New York Times later confirmed the allegation appears in the book.

Manigault-Newman says that she never heard Trump use the word herself, and her credibility is likely to be called into question by those who think she is seeking to sell a salacious memoir.

This rumor has been circulating since the p-grabbing days.

1. He will not only not lose a single voter, he will gain some.

WE have to understand that the cons prefer putin to democrats, racism to peace, etc.

2. Chum bait for his base

3. Isn't that the same thing Tom Arnold claimed months ago.

4. Yes, Arnold claimed to have something like this

This is different, though. Omarosa is Black, and if she does not provide evidence, she'll be giving rich fodder for people on the right and on this site who won't to believe everything but racism for 45's presence.

5. It was also the same thing claimed in regards to Paula Deen's usage.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other...

and as as irrelevant to the OP as the other.

6. I think the tapes exist, but the show's producer won't release them

So unless someone steals them, we'll never know for sure and it's pointless for these people to talk about them without proof.

7. I think enough people had access to the tapes from back in the day

that they would've come out if they existed. If Tom Arnold couldn't come up with evidence, I have zero faith that Omarosa can do jack shit.

8. If there aren't such tapes (or at least if there were never any such tapes) I'd be shocked

A white 70-something guy from Queens whose father was a member of the KKK (Trump denies it, but he also denies his father was even arrested at all at that 1927 rally/parade so the denial is worthless)... OF COURSE he uses all kinds of racial slurs.
