On last night's Late Show with Stephen Colbert, former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault appeared as a guest. Colbert asked Omarosa to clarify something she had said in an earlier interview, that in reference to Trump's presidency, "it's not going to be okay."

"It was a part of a bigger discussion, we were talking about immigration and round ups," Omarosa said. "Particularly, we were talking about a family, of a man who had been in the country for 30 years and had been sent back and Ross was expressing his concern about what was happening with immigration. So that was part of a bigger discussion and I believe that the immigration debate will continue. And it's a very difficult and complicated subject and I don't believe it can be resolved so simply and that was a part of the discussion and that's why I was a bit emotional."

When asked again, this time by Colbert, if everything was going to be okay under Trump, she replied "We'll have to wait and see."
