Pierson dodged repeated questions by Wolf Blitzer, during a CNN interview Tuesday night, about whether or not Trump had apologized to the Khan family, after suggesting that the reason the late soldier’s mother, Ghazala Khan, hadn’t spoken was perhaps because she wasn’t allowed to speak.
Khan answered back in an article published by The Washington Post, saying, “Donald Trump has asked why I did not speak at the Democratic convention. He said he would like to hear from me. Here is my answer to Donald Trump: Because without saying a thing, all the world, all America, felt my pain. I am a Gold Star mother. Whoever saw me felt me in their heart.”
Pierson, as Trump’s mouthpiece, tried to shift the blame to Clinton and Obama, in spite of the fact that when Capt. Khan died we were under the leadership of President George W. Bush. Thanks, Obama. Way to make Bush go to war!
Twitter is doing what Twitter loves to do in times like these, laughing at her expense with the hashtag #KatrinaPiersonHistory.

She is also hearing about it over the time she took to Twitter to make antigay remarks. The incident stretches back to 2012, but is now coming more to light due to her “Thanks, Obama” gaff bringing her more into the spotlight.
@michael_atx You will never for acceptance, but you could win coexistance. Gay is not normal, accept that.

@michael_atx I fight against the ‘choice’ vs. born that way.I studied the science being genetic, or hormonal. Either way, it’s an abberation

@michael_atx BTW, what’s wrong with civil unions? Why do gay people feel so oppressed? People don’t have to accept your lifestyle.

When asked for comment about her antigay tweets, and how that squares with Trump claiming he is a friend to the LGBT community, Pierson balked.
“What does 2012 have to do with the 2016 presidential campaign?” she told The Huffington Post in an email.
Unfortunately for her, Twitter found them relevant.
Katrina Pierson expressed anti-gay sentiment in 2012, yet Trump wants people to believe he’s LGBT friendly. https://t.co/2CkVBI7iJm

Katrina might be able to help Trump with his Mormon outreach. She also has some Black Nationalism quotes and some in support of Trayvon Martin that his supporters might enjoy.

This election is a joke, Clown car to the right, barrel of monkeys to the left. We, as a country, should be ashamed.
I’d imagine the rest of the world are rolling their eyes.
It’s all a big show … tabloid show that people glom on to. The media pushes this crap and people and loving it. It’s all just shy of being a bad reality show. And GMP is no different as evidenced by this article alone. Glad I’m old enough to remember when media had some class. We didn’t have tweets and all the rest of the garbage. Seriously, tweets?
