Once again, Omarosa Manigault-Newman is gleefully sending out White House Warnings to anyone in the Big Brother house who will listen.

Considering the house is populated by the likes of That Guy From Sugar Ray and Grown Up Rudy Huxtable, Omarosa’s Oval Office gossip is pretty much the only buzz this season of the CBS reality show has going for it.
In her latest revelation, the former Trump acolyte isn’t just whispering to Ross the Intern anymore. Now she’s boldly stating what all of us already know: the White House is a madhouse.
More importantly, Omarosa believes that things would get even worse—yes, worse—if Vice President Mike Pence replaced Trump.
“As bad as y’all think Trump is, you would be worried about Pence. So everyone’s that wishing for impeachment might want to reconsider their life.
We would be begging for days of Trump back if Pence became president. He’s extreme. I’m Christian, I love Jesus, but he thinks Jesus tells him to say things that are like...Jesus didn’t say that.
He’s scary.”
Watch the video below.
Manigault-Newman isn’t the first to point out that we can, actually, do worse than Trump.
As the New Yorker thoroughly explained last fall, Pence is a known homophobe who’s supported conversion therapy. He believes in intelligent design and is firmly against reproductive rights, all in the name of his devout and fundamentalist Christian faith. He’s fought against public education and environmental protections, and his coffers are lined deeply with money from the Koch brothers.
What Omarosa says is true: Pence is a powder keg of far-right policies—but that doesn’t seem to be widely known among Americans, because Trump’s daily atrocities hog all the attention.
