Omarosa Manigault-Newman has warned her Celebrity Big Brother housemates that a Pence presidency could be worse than Trump’s.

During Monday’s episode of the reality show, the former White House aide told her roommates, “Can I just say this? As bad as y’all think Trump is, you would be worried about Pence. We would be begging for days of Trump back if Pence became President, that’s all I’m saying. He’s extreme.”

Manigault-Newman was fired (or resigned) from her position in the White House in December. Twitter had tons to say with White House correspondent and CNN political analyst April Ryan tweeting, “This is not the first firing for Omarosa from Trump!”

The former aide also told housemates that she finds Pence’s religious beliefs “scary.”

“I’m Christian, I love Jesus, but he thinks Jesus tells him to say things — I’m like, ‘Jesus didn’t say that.’ Scary,” she said.

Manigault-Newman also discussed Trump’s immigration plan, adding that she’s seen it and “it’s getting more aggressive.”
