Trump Spokeswoman: Malcolm X Is ‘My Idol,’ Republicans Are Racist
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 01/23/2016 10:30:38 AM PST by Perdogg

Since joining the Trump campaign as a national spokeswoman in November, Katrina Pierson has served as an attack dog of sorts for Donald Trump, attempting to expose his critics and opponents as faux conservatives who are simply pulling the wool over the eyes of the American people.

And yet, Ms. Pierson’s own statements reveal she is a self-proclaimed devotee of Malcolm X (whom she has referred to as her “idol”) and has a history of attacking conservatives as racists, sneering at Christians who are unable to “handle the truth” and mocking candidates who open up about their faith on the campaign trail as preachers who would be “great if we were electing a Jesus.”

Katrina was endorsed by Ted’s dad when she ran against Sessions in TX.

She also worked for Cruz, and I believe she has a connection to Palin.

Everyone knows Katrina has a wacky streak, but people seem to like her/want to work with her regardless.

His Senate campaign specifically right? Why don’t you mention that. She was not hired by his presidential campaign. They did not offer her a position. Trump offered her a leading job- his spokesperson.

You see the picture right LoL. She worked for Cruz that's for sure.

"Ted Cruz 2012 Senate campaign

In the 2012 election cycle, Pierson was "a vocal supporter" of Ted Cruz's (R) U.S. Senate campaign, according to The Hill. Pierson campaigned with Cruz throughout the election. "

Since Cruz is allied with the liberal loon, Glenn Beck, he must admire crackpots too, correct?

As been pointed out many times Katrina worked for Cruz and was endorsed by Pappa Cruz when she ran against Sessions.

I think the next President, or the next one after that, will have to open serious negotiations with the Nation of Islam or some other representative African-American body to discuss on what terms we are going to continue to live together or if not, on what terms we will separate.

Malcom X put quite a bit of thought into this question. Our national policy of "let's pretend" is about played out. The fury among African-Americans is real and requires concerted attention. The conventional response by both African-American and white political figures is pointless. Does anyone believe that more of the same is going to make improvements?

In 100 years, I believe the works of Malcom X will be much better regarded than they are now, and the works of MLK will be much less well regarded than they are now.

Who gives a damn if even if it is true?

She’s a spokesperson, not a policy maker. She is there to argue on behalf of Trump and advocate for his positions and she is extremely effective at doing just that.

Whatever positions she had years ago are completely irrelevant and do not affect her ability to do her job even if they are true.

Trump has been very clear that he’s going to hire people that he thinks are best for the particular job and doesn’t really care whether they’re ‘nice’ or conform to someone’s ideological standard. If he hires someone to wash his windows, he cares how good a job the guy does cleaning windows, not the guy’s ideas for a health care plan.

Read the article. She worked for Cruz first.
Suspect the same type of tweeter back that Beck used to confirm Trump voted for O. There are hundreds of created tweets in cyberspace

You said it better than I did. Malcolm continued to evolve during his life, and many Blacks admire him.

Those weren’t her “tweets.” This is a third rate smear job.

I’m no Trump fan. I support Cruz.

This “Daily Caller” hit piece is no better that the “Conservative Tree House” smears against Cruz.

The truth doesn't matter to Trump fans.

It's worse than that, really. Trump and his 'bots aren't merely apathetic to the truth, they're actively hostile to it.

I am now having Trumpbots tell me that single payer Healthcare would really be a good thing, simply because that is what el Maximo wants to have.

[Actually, they first told me that's "not Trump's plan." When I sent them over to Breitbart to read The Donald's® own words on the topic, they came back and told me that we already have universal government health care, what with 0bamacare, the VA, Medicare, and Medicaid, and illegals and uninsured getting admitted to emergency rooms, so consolidating all that under the FedGov would be a GREAT thing.]

The truth, like the brains of his followers, is mush in el Supremo's hands...

Katrina has not missed a beat since joining Trumps team. Her exchange on friday with Rick Tyler (Cruz Nat. Spokesperson) was indicative of why Cruz is fading so quickly. She had him stuttering as badly as Cruz was with Bret on Special Report.

That said. I can’t think of a worse endorsement than Cruz’s dad. Well maybe Glen Beck.

Ms Pierson is well versed on the issues and does NOT accept false premises. She hits the target, then fires for effect. She does a very good job.
Impressed with her appearances so for.

Don’t tell Mrs Hero, but impressed with her appearance too.
Easy-on-the eyes is always a good quality for spokespeople.

I’ve known her for a long time and I’ve never had any problems with her. Perhaps concerning your experience she wasn’t the one with the issues...
