For reasons that remain unclear, Omarosa Manigault Newman, was appointed to a White House position.

DONALD TRUMP allegedly used racist terms to describe George Conway, the Fililpino American husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.

George Conway dismissed the allegations on Friday that Trump had privately made racist comments about his Filipino roots.

The Guardian reports that Omarosa Manigault Newman, the former senior White House aide and ex-reality TV star, reportedly heard Trump calling Conway a “flip” and a “goo goo,” racial slurs for Filipinos like Conway, whose mother is from the Philippines.

The former Trump advisor will have a tell-all book released next week about her time with Trump since she was a contestant on his reality show The Apprentice including her tenure in the White House. In her stint on The Apprentice, she became one of the "villains" for her lies and scheming which made her stand out from the other contestants. She became known simply by her first name, Omarosa. 

In her upcoming book, she describes Trump's angry reaction to a article written by George Conway, a lawyer who removed his name from consideration for a top Justice Department post. 

GEORGE CONWAY

It’s not clear which George Conway column drew Trump's ire, but Conway, a successful attorney and once considered a candidate for the position of Solicitor General, received significant attention for a column at the Brookings Institution’s LawFare blog in June, in which he defended special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election meddling and criticized Trump’s attempts to undercut it.

The Guardian writes:

Would you look at this George Conway article?” she quotes the president as saying. “F**ing FLIP! Disloyal! F**king Goo-goo.” 

Both "flip" and "goo-goo" are racial slurs for Filipinos.

George Conway called Omarosa’s allegations “not credible” and “ridiculous” in a tweet on Friday morning.

“Instead of telling the truth about all the good President Trump and his administration are doing to make America safe and prosperous, this book is riddled with lies and false accusations,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a written statement. “It’s sad that a disgruntled former White House employee is trying to profit off these false attacks.”

Omarosa, who was unceremoniously dismissed from the White House staff in December of 2017, describes in her book that she slowly came to realize that her boss was a racist.

 “It had finally sunk in that the person I’d thought I’d known so well for so long was actually a racist," she writes in her upcoming book. "Using the N-word was not just the way he talks but, more disturbing, it was how he thought of me and African Americans as a whole.”

Omarosa worked on Trump's campaign and in the White House as his liaison to the African American community, which did not welcome her with open arms despite her supposedly close links to Trump.

Omarosa Manigault Newman's book — titled “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House” — is set to release on August 14th.
