For those cheering on the impeachment of President Donald Trump, there is one thing standing in the way of the tea party being out of power: Mike Pence.
In a TMZ interview, Omarosa Manigault-Newman warned that Vice President Pence is far worse than the president, and she's not the first to issue a word of caution.
"Pence has maintained his role as G.O.P. security blanket, even earning kudos from Democrats who see him as, if not a welcome alternative to Trump, at least someone unlikely to punt the nuclear football in a fit of rage," Vanity Fair reported earlier this year.
Newman made the same comment while on "Big Brother."
“Can I just say this? As bad as y’all think Trump is, you would be worried about Pence,” she said on an episode that aired in February.
She noted those hoping for a Trump impeachment, “would be begging for days of Trump back if Pence became president . . . he’s extreme.”
She then knocked Pence for his belief that Jesus Christ speaks personally to him and tells him what to say.
“I’m Christian. I love Jesus,” she said, “But, he thinks Jesus tells him to say things—I’m like, ‘Jesus didn’t say that.’ Scary."
Biographer Michael D'Antonio reported in his recent book that Pence believes he has been anointed by God to be president.
