Omarosa Stands by Book Claim About Frank Luntz After He Calls It ‘Flat-Out False’
Omarosa Manigault is standing by one of the claims in her book that’s already come under scrutiny.
In her book, she claims that she heard from someone that pollster Frank Luntz was aware of a tape of President Donald Trump saying the n-word.
In addition to contradicting her own book yesterday on the issue of such a tape, Manigault also faced some pushback from Luntz himself:
I’m in @Omarosa’s book on page 149. She claims to have heard from someone who heard from me that I heard Trump use the N-word.
Not only is this flat-out false (I’ve never heard such a thing), but Omarosa didn’t even make an effort to call or email me to verify. Very shoddy work.

Manigault tweeted this morning she completely stands by it and invited Luntz to ask Trump 2016 campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson for information:
@FrankLuntz yes on page 149 of #Unhinged I write about the conf call with Trump campaign spokeswoman @KatrinaPierson. She shared with us (@JasonMillerinDC and @LynnePatton) that you had info about n-word tape. I’m sure Kat will fill you in on that convo if you ask her nicely. https://t.co/uEc04s1DbU

Pierson, however, was tweeting up a storm last night attacking her for disloyalty:
Turning on the man who helped create her brand, fund her venture, & gave her a top WH job for personal gain is very disloyal. A racist, by definition, would not give a strong black woman the time, nor the opportunity. Most people know what’s up here. ?? https://t.co/yQIMx1p1Wo

“You all know him as the President. I know him as a friend. I know his heart. I know the things that he’s seen that have never been reported on and probably folks won’t ever talk about.” – Omarosa (ABC’s “The View,” 1/27/17)

“Look at my career, the wealth and exposure that I’ve had: It’s very difficult to make the argument that Donald Trump doesn’t like black people and black women.” – Omarosa ?#Unhinged https://t.co/oz8XY7Uriq

She stuck by Trump because he has never stopped supporting her career. After her time on ‘The Apprentice,’ she eventually partnered with Trump to create a reality dating reality show. #Unhinged (with friends like this…) https://t.co/YlkjDxfAQ2
