Deputy Press Sec Issues Sick Burn to Omarosa: ‘Fired From The Apprentice Three Times,’ We Fired Her a Fourth

Is White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah secretly an Apprentice superfan?

In his debut press briefing Thursday, The Washington Examiner‘s Sarah Westwood asked Shah what the White House’s reaction was to former White House aide Omarosa Manigault’s comments on Celebrity Big Brother describing the Trump administration in harrowing terms.

“Omarosa was fired three times on The Apprentice, and this is the fourth time we let her go,” Shah said with a smirk. “She had limited contact with the president while here, she has no contact now.”

Omarosa told her Big Brother housemate Ross Mathews that she “was haunted by tweets every single day” and that “it’s not going to be OK.”

“It’s not my circus, not my monkeys,” she said. “I’d like to say not my problem, but I can’t say that. Because it’s bad.”
