The panel on "The Five" reacted to former White House aide and reality star Omarosa Manigault-Newman audiotaping private conversations with Chief of Staff John Kelly and President Donald Trump.
Dana Perino, who served as press secretary to President George W. Bush, said Newman exhibited "outrageous" behavior by taking a recording device into the Situation Room, where nothing is supposed to be taped.
"Even if she didn't think that the president deserved better [than to have himself and Kelly taped] then certainly the American people do," she said.
While I know it’s “not presidential” to take on a lowlife like Omarosa, and while I would rather not be doing so, this is a modern day form of communication and I know the Fake News Media will be working overtime to make even Wacky Omarosa look legitimate as possible. Sorry!

Manigault-Newman also taped Trump sounding surprised on the phone after being informed of her firing at Kelly's behest.

Perino said taping people in the Situation Room "puts our national security at risk."
Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart. I would rarely see her but heard....

...really bad things. Nasty to people & would constantly miss meetings & work. When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems. I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me - until she got fired!

George "Tyrus" Murdoch added that Manigault-Newman is "literally the most despised person in the free world."
He said Trump was probably faking being incredulous when Manigault-Newman informed him she'd been fired.
"I loved him [talking to her] on the phone. 'Like, what? Damn'," Tyrus said.
