  • Omarosa served as the point person for the Trump transition team’s outreach to African Americans. “Shirley Husar, a Republican National Convention delegate from Pasadena, visited Trump Tower on Friday to discuss urban renewal with Omarosa Manigault, a Donald Trump advisor and former ‘Apprentice’ contestant. Husar, who is African American, helped nominate Trump at the convention. She has criticized Black Lives Matter activists and government assistance programs. She praised the president-elect Friday.” (Los Angeles Times, December 18, 2016)
  • Kwame Jackson, a former contestant on Apprentice who competed against Omarosa, proclaimed that appointing her director of African-American outreach was “like appointing Benedict Arnold to lead the Revolutionary Army.” “A less enthusiastic assessment comes from business consultant Kwame Jackson, who was the second-to-last-man standing on Season 1 (he lost to Bill Rancic) and who spent the campaign on cable news criticizing Trump. ‘I don't think Omarosa should get any job, I am not a fan of her work or her ideals,’ says Jackson, 42. ‘Appointing her to direct African-American outreach is like appointing Benedict Arnold to lead the Revolutionary Army.’” (USA Today, November 15, 2016)
