Omarosa: I Was Very Surprised To See a Black Journalist Try To Silence Me

‘He started to talk over me in a very antagonistic way’

RUSH EXCERPT:
OMAROSA: "Well, can I give you some context? I was there to share the story about the death of my father. My father was murdered when I was 7-years-old. My brother was killed in 2011. He was murdered in Youngstown, Ohio as well. The national association of black journalists invited me to come and talk about my experience. And to tell my story and so I told my story for about two and a half minutes. And then that video starts to play. You will see that the moderator, came from behind the podium and stood directly in front of me. And he started to talk over me in a very antagonistic way. But what you don’t see are black lives matter protesters who start to align on the side of the stage and they start to get up, stand up, raise their fists and then turn their backs. So there was a lot going on. I was very surprised once he came from behind the podium and tried to get up in my face."
