Katrina Pierson Claims Reporters 'Literally Beat' Trump Supporters

Donald Trump's spokeswoman Katrina Pierson either doesn't quite understand the meaning of the word "literally," or some "left-wing reporters" have a lot of explaining to do after she claimed Monday that journalists "literally beat" Trump's supporters.

“The voters want someone that’s gonna fight back because they are tired of seeing left-wing reporters literally beat Trump supporters into submission into supporting policies they don’t agree with,” Pierson told Fox Business Network, as quoted by Politico.

She also said Trump has been "fighting back" over media bias against his campaign.

“The last two presidential cycles we had Republican candidates that just sat there and took a beating and Mr. Trump isn’t gonna do that," Pierson said.

Pierson was trying to push the GOP nominee's latest media-bashing attack, which began this weekend over the New York Times' reporting on his campaign. Trump went on a tear, slamming the "failing" Times as a "newspaper of fiction" and railing against coverage by the "disgusting and corrupt media."

And she has no idea how to use the word literally. Most of the time, it's an unnecessary word.

when he really wants batshit crazy. Even the reporters can't figure out what the hell she is saying. She makes me think of a GOT character, capable of pouring blood from her eyeballs

Because as the god of her very holy tea-party knows, filching merchandise at JC Penny's wasn't going to get her rich any time soon. So she moved on to a career only someone the likes of Donald Trump could be proud of. Stealing money from taxpayers while traveling the country and giving "educational" talks about how Obama was going to turn America over to the UN and force us all into ghettos.

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.

Pierson has been a hyperactive tea party organizer for years, doing countless media appearances and traveling extensively around the country to spread her message. When I first met her in the summer of 2011, she was teaching a darkly conspiratorial class on the United Nation’s “Agenda 21” at a meeting of the Waco Tea Party. Under the UN’s aegis, she told the frightened crowd, Americans would be forced into crowded apartment buildings, and UN-empowered block captains would be “given police power over your neighborhoods.”
