Trump Spokeswoman: Malcolm X Is 'My Idol,' Republicans Are Racist
the Daily Caller ^ | January 22, 2016 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 01/22/2016 11:19:28 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

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."

Pierson points to Malcolm X as a large source of her ideological founding, much like the leaders of Black Lives Matter do. Pierson has called the radical figure a hero and is open about her literal idolization of him, explaining that "MLK was too moderate for me.".........

[BIG SNIP of material worth seeing]

.........Despite spending a great amount of time personally attacking conservatives, Pierson has remained the self-appointed arbiter of who is or isn't conservative. In response to National Review's "Conservatives Against Trump" issue, Pierson - without a hint of irony - indignantly questioned whether: "'conservatives' whom no one ever heard of before 2008 all of the sudden think they own the place?"

The Trumpets will be here soon to explain why this is great and will lead to Don getting 47% of the black vote against Hillary.

The MSM and blogosphere are so thoroughly distrusted, doubtful any controversial report will be taken seriously by those supporting Trump.

And for the record, I’ll be happy with either Trump or Cruz.

I recall Dr Carson being trashed for having a member of his campaign who said good things about the nation of islam.

I like a lot about Ms Pierson, but I will never accept her ‘admiration’ for Malcolm X. That said, her private hero worship is her own affair and her own statement. not Donald’s. Even with Donald, I like about 72% of his qualities, and have little use for the other 28%. That’s not a dealbreaker, just a recognition that no one now running for president of either party as already achieved perfection.

Say what you will..
She was a mom that became involved in the early Tea Party. Ran against Sessions and lost, worked for Ted Cruz and later for Trump.
She rose on her own merits, and man! Is she a good spokeswoman, she doesn’t back down.
She has a long history from the early beginnings of the Tea Party and she has something to say about who is conservative and who is not.

The fact that she is black or a woman might help Trump... Maybe, maybe not, but can’t hurt.

But based in her TV interviews there is no doubt in my mind that she got her position based on merit.

It was a link in another link - yes, to Mother Jones who had the story on the group in the Trump video and the man who’s work Trump used, George Cairns. It’s short and not written to be political - what did you think of it?

“..not a dealbreaker..”

Is the kind of judges pro-eminent domain Donald Trump would pick a deal breaker?

Donald was for eminent domain before the liberal SCOTUS justices unconstitutionally voted it the Law of the Land.

If Donald has the choice between picking pro-life judges, or pro-eminent domain judges, who do you think he will pick?

From your CNN link the other day...

DONALD TRUMP [on Larry King Show (2009), referring to then newly elected communist president]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe ."

And I'm not saying I agree with everything he's doing. I do agree with what they're doing with the banks. Whether they FUND THEM or NATIONALIZE them, it doesn't matter, but you have to keep the banks going."

CORRECTION!

The latest on the "Russian," ..er Nazi "soldiers" used in (now pulled and replaced) Trump veterans campaign ad.

The "Nazi soldiers" was from July 2015 - the "Russian soldiers" is from Jan 2016.

Sorry for the confusion, my only excuse is, who could believe that there could be two such mistakes.

She appears to be an opportunist and self-promoter.

I guess that type sees value in aligning with Trump.
