Omarosa Manigault, known as “the villain” on the reality show, The Apprentice, announced herself as the director of African-American outreach for the Trump campaign on Monday.

“I am the director of African-American outreach for Donald Trump. I am proud to serve in that role,” Manigault said. “It is a very difficult time for our country, but the good thing I know is that I know Donald Trump at his heart.”

When asked about polls that show Trump has zero percent support from African Americans in Ohio (where she is from) and Pennsylvania, Manigault said she was confused about who had been polled because “I just spent an amazing weekend with African Americans for Trump, about 300 of them.”

“My reality is I’m surrounded by African Americans who want to see Trump as the next president. Trump is focused on improving the conditions of African Americans in this country. Unemployment in African-American community is at an all time high.”
