It Sounds True
Look, I dunno whether this is true or not since Omarosa is the source, but …
Omarosa Manigault Newman revealed in an interview with Rev. Al Sharpton that President Donald Trump has section leaders of each rally that helps urge the audience to chant and even leads them in chants. One of those so-called “section leaders” is Mike Pence’s nephew, John Pence.
So, Pence’s nephew may have been the one who started the chant. Damn. Omarosa also says there’s signal Trump gives to get the chants to stop and they would stop immediately. These section leaders are like a pep squad.
And if you want this story to get weirder, I accidentally found this. That same John Pence is engaged to Kellyanne Conway’s cousin.
Now let me put a cherry on top of this.
Coia, 24, is White House communications aide whose father is Conway’s first cousin, and Pence, 29, is a senior adviser on Trump’s campaign. Before joining Trump’s staff, Coia worked for Conway’s polling firm and interned for Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa). Pence, a graduate of Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law, first joined the Trump campaign in August 2016.
Steve King? She worked for Steve King? Oh Dear Lord, do not let them reproduce.
Thanks to Scott for the heads up.
