WORLD EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: White House Gatecrashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi Demand Apology
Michaele and Tareq Salahi, the infamous couple dubbed the White House Gatecrashers, are demanding the White House apologize to them for the embarrassing State Dinner fiasco last November.


In their first in-depth interview about the incident that created a national security scandal and cost presidential Social Secretary Desiree Rogers her job, the Salahis have also exclusively told RadarOnline.com the congressional investigation on Capitol Hill was a "charade" and a waste of tax-payer dollars.


"It would be nice if somebody apologized to us and for (the White House) to call it quits," Tareq Salahi, along with his wife Michaele, told RadarOnline.com, in the couple’s first major interview.


"I would certainly not treat anyone this way that comes to my house, even if there was a question about an invitation, or there was some miscommunication... I would still welcome anyone and be gracious.”


Said Michaele: "The American way is to love people."


The couple also revealed they've received numerous death threats following the incident that set off a firestorm over security at the White House. The Salahi's earned their White House Gatecrashers nickname because they were able to enter the dinner for the Indian Prime Minister without invitations.



In one disturbing incident after that event, Michaele said she received a package at their Virginia home containing a used condom.


"It's been painful, it's been upsetting that we can't speak on the truth and the facts," Tareq said. "We have a lot inside of us that we want to get out.

8. From what I've read shortly after their WH adventures these grifters make Palin look like an amateur
There's a trail of lawsuits (usually involving nonpayment on contracts) that are connected to these two pretenders.

Next to Palin the Salahi's are the people I'd like most to see drop off the media radar.

10. These people could have been assassins breaking in and they want an apology?
That is like a burglar demanding an apology from you after he is caught with your stuff.
The 'Obama is wrong on everything' crowd creates yet another new low.
