Omarosa Manigault: I've never shied away from having a good relationship with Louis Farrakhan

Omarosa Manigault, the former reality TV star turned White House adviser to President Donald Trump, said Thursday that she has a “good relationship” with the controversial Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan, and would “look forward” to a meeting with him.

"I think any of your audience would know that I've never shied away from having an open, and I believe a good, relationship with Louis Farrakhan,” Manigault said in a Thursday morning interview on Chicago talk-radio station WVON. “I would look forward to receiving that invitation and sitting down with him."

Farrakhan has been the leader of the Nation of Islam since 1977, a group that the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as being based on a “somewhat bizarre and fundamentally anti-white theology.” Farrakhan himself is “an anti-Semite who routinely accuses Jews of manipulating the U.S. government and controlling the levers of world power,” according to the SPLC.
