The tweets came hours after American Urban Radio Network's April Ryan reported that Manigault Newman was escorted from the White House grounds shouting profanities after being told of her termination by Kelly.

The White House said Wednesday that Manigault Newman had tendered her resignation as the director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison and that her last day in the administration would be next month.
