Omarosa Manigault's pull with Black legislators came up weak on Wednesday, June 21, when the Congressional Black Caucus turned down her invitation for the 49-member-group to reconvene with President Trump for a follow-up to their meeting in the White House this past March. While the reasons the CBC decided to pass up on the invite are said to involve the President's failure to address concerns they raised at the initial juncture, there is also word that some were put off by the tone of the letter, particularly in how it closed, with its author signing out as "The Honorable Omarosa Manigault."
"The Honorable" title is typically used when referring to a judge, but it isn't uncommon for Presidents, Vice Presidents, Cabinet members, senators, congressmen, governors, and ambassadors to also take on the distinction. Not only were there some among the CBC who griped that Manigault hasn't earned the "Honorable" title, those heading the Office of Public Liaison are rarely if ever recognized as such.
What's more, it is generally perceived to be uncouth for those who do carry the distinction, to refer to themselves as "The Honorable." The term is usually used by someone introducing or alluding to said person.
