MIKE PENCE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Omarosa Manigault Newman, the three-time ‘Apprentice’ contestant and fired White House staffer, told fellow contestants on her current reality television show there’s more reason to fear Mike Pence in the Oval Office than Donald Trump…
Manigault Newman’s latest comments touch on a favorite parlor game of some anti-Trump politicians and members of the self-proclaimed resistance who look at Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and other controversies surrounding Trump and speculate on the possibility he’s removed or resigns from office.
That would most likely elevate Pence, a former governor of Indiana and House member who is known for being socially conservative and disciplined. On the campaign trail, Pence often quipped that he was ‘a Christian, a conservative and a Republican — in that order.’ Pence as governor was forced to sign a law banning discrimination based on sexual or gender identity after LGBT groups joined with moderate members of his party and business groups to decry his Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
‘He’s extreme. I’m Christian, I love Jesus, but he thinks Jesus tells him to say things. I’m like, *Jesus ain’t say that.*’ Manigault Newman said. ‘It’s scary.’ “
