Trump hiring Omarosa for White House role: report

She worked for Al Gore in the first Clinton administration.

Damnit, Algore is one word.

"When my sister and I were growing up," Mr. Gore told a small audience made up mostly of women, "there was never any doubt in our minds that men and women were equal, if not more so."

Alright, good enough, my error, and thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Not to be spiteful, but I originally went to post the Richard B. Spencer speech, then thought a picture was better, but here was my first choice:

Maybe you shouldn't believe the echo chamber stories about someone before you denounce them. Context counts.

It's probably what turned her Republican.
 
What benefit is she possibly going to bring to the Trump administration?

I remember Omarosa fighting with Piers Morgan on the Apprentice, so she can't be all bad.

After the rally was canceled, the Petersons found themselves in the middle of a group of protesters, some of whom they described as “rude.” One was holding a poster with a picture of Adolf Hitler on it.

Ms. Peterson, who was born in West Berlin in 1946 and became an American citizen in 1982, said she took offense to the comparison of Mr. Trump to Hitler.

“They said Trump is a second Hitler,” Ms. Peterson said. “I said do you know what that sign stands for? Do you know who Hitler really was?”

“I make the point that they are demonstrating something they had no knowledge about,” she said. “If you want to do it right, you do it right. You don’t know what you are doing.”

That is when she made the Nazi salute — a gesture that is banned in Germany — as a form of counterprotest. But that is all it was, she said.

“Absolutely I’m not a Nazi, no,” she said. “I’m not one of those.”

Wow, I'll be Chomsky is feeling kinda foolish right now.

Ok. So what is your point in posting that?
That their national gathering is so small, so much so as to render them meaningless?
Is that your point?

No, I can see clearly what's going on here with Trump. There are no echo chambers for this independent thinker. It was just an error in selecting the proper file, as can be seen with my YouTube video follow-up.

No one here (I hope) expects Trump to be Hitler pro se, but many as myself believe he will be controlling, authoritarian, dictatorial, propagandist, mis-informational, retributional, unConstitutional, and blindly followed by many of his followers. So Hitler gets thrown out there as the archetype and end-of-the-road example for this type of behaviour, even though it's not a valid comparison to matter of degree.

It's an example of where speech such as Omarosa's can lead to, if not held in check by critical independent thinkers.

Critical American citizens should not told to "bow down" to their politicians and their elected officials. Omarosa's a Trump minion, there.

You are using her personal opinion prior to being hired, that she herself pointed out, as needing to be placed in check and comparing that to a diminutive organizational gathering? Wtf?

How about this. Wait until she speaks on behave of the Administration and if she speaks in a fashion you do not agree with, start complaining then.

She's the one that spoke in that video, not me. And she is hired; she works for Trump as a surrogate.

My comments speak to her and her portrayal of her boss.

No Excon, she is hired; she's on Trump's payroll.

Her Title is: "Director of African-American Outreach"

And in the OP video, she's beseeching we bow down to Trump.
 
Wow, I'll be Chomsky is feeling kinda foolish right now.
I pulled an inaccurate image, instead of the video, in an attempt to not waste our members' time.

And I typed a retraction in post #24.

But yeah, sometimes mistakes happen, and this was one of them.

No Chomsky, as already pointed out, that is something she said before she was hired.
As she clearly pointed out it had been her personal opinion at the time stated, and it clearly has absolutely nothing to do with her job now.

The video wasn't any better a contribution.

Alright, the video was portrayed as a September airing, and she was working on the campaign in September as well.

But she claims the broadcast was before her hire, so if she is to be believed it seems your accurate.

But we're debating an employment technicality. It's clear where her head's at here, and an example of the personal extremism of some in the Trump organization and amongst his followers.

Yes it is clear where her head is at here.
She pointed it out.
There is a difference between making a personal comment prior to being hired and that of making one on behalf of your employer.

You are grasping here.

Pictures without context, such as the text above provides, used to portray someone in an unfavorable light.
Yeah, that's called propaganda.
Fake news at it's best.
