Kellyanne Conway Denies Allegations in Omarosa’s Book: I’ve Never Heard Trump ‘Use a Racial Slur’

Kellyanne Conway: "I have never a single time heard (Pres. Trump) use a racial slur about anyone … I also never heard Omarosa complain that he had done that, and so the only thing that's changed is that she's now selling books" https://t.co/P6iz1j1VA4 #ThisWeek pic.twitter.com/vgZmdja3Io

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway pushed back on one of the more serious allegations in Omarosa Manigault‘s new book regarding President Donald Trump‘s reported use of racial slurs.

Specifically, Manigault claims that there’s a tape out there of Trump saying the n-word (though she contradicted one specific claim about it in an NPR interview).

On ABC’s This Week today, Conway had this to say about the President:

“I have worked alongside that man for over two straight years now without interruption. I have never a single time heard him use a racial slur about anyone. And I also never heard Omarosa complain that he had done that, and so the only thing that’s changed is that she’s now selling books.”
