On the radio Monday night, LevinTV host Mark Levin took aim and opened fired at the legacy media’s fascination with fired White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman and her arsenal of secret West Wing audio recordings.

Levin took issue with the “slobs and hacks and thugs in the media” who covered the story with little regard for the legality or security implications of what had been recorded and released. He added that Manigault Newman was "doing the equivalent of political blackmail."

The goal, Levin explained, is just like it was with the media’s never-ending coverage of the Stormy Daniels drama — get someone on camera willing to bash the president at all costs and worry about the implications later.
