Staff Report
Katrina Pierson is the new face on the Trump campaign. Pierson, a former Republican congressional candidate and longtime supporter of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), has found her niche with Trump’s 2016 presidential election team. Donald’s national spokeswoman, is, in typical Trump fashion, nice eye candy on the arm of the real estate mogul. But she’s much more than that, Trump says.
"Katrina is a great addition to our team as we continue to expand throughout the country, "Trump said in a statement about Pierson, the Hill reports. "Katrina understands the need for real change in Washington, D.C., and the importance of competence in the next election."
As for Pierson, she says her alliance with The Donald is "perfect."
"This is a nontraditional campaign," the outspoken Republican and Dallas tea party activist said. "I can be a little bit more who I am. That’s what I mean when I say it’s like a perfect fit. [Trump's] sort of not politically correct. He sort of calls it like he sees it. I’m kind of that way, too,"
In fact, she has already launched a few well-aimed social media missiles.
"Islam preys on the weak and uses political correctness as cover," she wrote on Facebook. "Two things that Americans won't be concerned with when @realDonaldTrump is in the White House."
Explains Politico: "On Monday, as Ted Cruz announced a bill banning Muslim Syrian refugees from the United States and Donald Trump talked about shutting down American mosques, Trump's new national spokeswoman took things one step further."

Had no clue about that. 47. Have watched at lot of history though. Never mentioned. Hm.
Ch ci it out on Wikipedia. It gives a nice history and pictures. She had a degree in engineering. Smart lady.
She is Sarah Palin with better linguistic skills.
Would make a good veep too!
Except that Palin was actually elected to something.
What difference does “black” matter?
Well, if that's a benchmark for office we wouldn't be trying to elect Trump, or Carson would we?
She’s black?
Someone made an absurd comparison to Palin. And it remains to be seen if this was a good hire for Trump.
