Former “Apprentice” star and ex-White House aide, Omarosa Manigault Newman, alleges that former President Donald Trump reserves his harshest insults for women of color.
According to a Business Insider report, Manigault Newman, who briefly worked as a White House adviser in 2017, voiced her accusations on CNN after Trump’s appearance in a New York court on Monday for his civil fraud trial.
In response to a question about Trump’s comments on James during the CNN interview, Manigault Newman claimed it’s “mostly about intimidation” for the ex-president.
“He has saved his worst insults, his biggest vitriol for women of color,” she told CNN. Representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.

During the trial, Trump lambasted the case as the “single greatest witch hunt of all time” and referred to New York Attorney General Letitia James, the one who brought the $250 million lawsuit against him, as “racist” and a “horror show”.
Manigault Newman mentioned instances where Trump had previously labeled the New York attorney general as “Letitia Peekaboo James,” and Vice President Kamala Harris as a “monster.”
Trump, who is currently the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has been charged in four separate criminal cases, in addition to James’ business fraud case against him and his Manhattan-based company, which threatens his empire.
