Video: Trump Spokeswoman Clarifies Position on 'Muslim Database' (Katrina Pierson is excellent)

[RoosterRedux]

As is the case with every Trump firestorm, the 'Muslim database' kerfuffle has already been supplanted by several new controversies. Nevertheless, a core question from last week's flare-up has remained unresolved: Was Trump open to a national registry for all Muslims in America, or just the refugees? The campaign's ambiguity on this point spilled over into this week's news cycle, when Trump again appeared to endorse the concept of a broader database on ABC's Sunday morning chat show. The trouble is that whenever Trump has been asked about this issue, he's responded by (a) correctly noting that it was originally raised as a non-sequitur by a reporter, and (b) answering the question as if it only pertained to refugees and border security issues...

Like to video at Youtube

GB: Katrina, if I may, just the one thing that I'm still trying to pin down a little bit here is: Setting aside the fact that a reporter sort of brought this issue up out of nowhere, and setting aside the issues of the refugees and the border, has Donald Trump ruled out the registry for other Muslims in America -- including citizens -- or is that still on the table? Can you help me with that?

KP: Sure, I'd love to help you out, Guy. He's never said he supported for all Muslim Americans. He does support a registry of refugees. And the reason why this is so confusing is because NBC [News] actually put out the video that was cropped to fit their narrative. And a lot of conservatives, just like Rush Limbaugh said, fell for it.

GB: So he's against -- to be clear -- he's against a registry for all Muslims?

KP: For all Muslims? Yes. Only for the refugees.

GB: Okay.

Good spokesperson. A previous Obama supporter. Shoplifting charge in 1997. Plus this:
A bigger deal: On Sunday night, the Quorum Report’s Scott Braddock pointed out that Pierson received some $11,000 in unemployment benefits from the Texas Workforce Commission from January 2012 to November 2013—meaning she was receiving government support during a period in which she consulted for Ted Cruz’s senate campaign and was planning for her own run.
She is a good spokeswoman though

Charge or conviction?

She grew up very poor. Single mom and all that.

Got caught shoplifting at age 20. And pull herself by her bootstraps after that.

[libbylu]

Don’t know. She admitted to shoplifting during her campaign.
I have seen her, she is really good.

Pierson is a good spokesman.

She’s okay, but not one of superior talent. Why she is given the face time on TV, I’m not sure. Trump has that Holly Hicks girl (I think her first name is Holly), from Houston, running his campaign to a large extent and Hicks is a heavy lifter. Katrina seems a little pedestrian to me.

I’d replace Katrina with RitaOK in a NY minute.

[OwenKellogg]

Thanks for your hard work on this ping list.

Happy thanksgiving.

[Red Steel]

Sounds good to me. Hire them all. ;-)

Oh in other news. Bloomberg news who suffers from much TDS, like may of the news outlets, let slip some reality as they admitted...

" Poll: Trump Beats Rubio, Cruz, Carson in Head-to-Head Contests"

Beating Cruz and Rubio head-to-head both by 14% each, and Carson by 20% in the cbs news poll who also let in some reality. Must have been a mess up. ;-)

[RoosterRedux]

Hope Hicks.

[RoosterRedux]

I think the reason Trump is using Katrina is because Katrina can get down and dirty and is a known face on the news shows.

I've actually never seen a video of Hope Hicks. She's beautiful but might be better behind the scenes.

[Jane Long]

I’d replace Katrina with RitaOK in a NY minute.

I’d be A OK with that ;-)

[Jane Long]

Lol. TDS, indeed.

I guess they meant Cruz and The Rube are head to head.

[RitaOK]

YES! Hope Hicks! Thank you for the correction! I like Hope and Trump does too.

[RitaOK]

*onyx what a nice compliment! Wow. Coming from you and Janey, as leaders of the steel spine crowd, now that’s a fun thing for a girl with astigmatism and beginning cataracts to get to hear. (Heck, I never know what I write that actually hits the board! Sometimes I’m appalled at keys I miss!) Love you, Rita

Dear onyx, I must have got my wires crossed. I'm making sure you are on the ping list. You'll get one shortly and remain on the list.
