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 thats gonna fight back because they are tired of seeing left-wing reporters literally beat Trump supporters into submission into supporting policies they dont 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 isnt 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."

(28,341 posts)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 Reports Scott Braddock pointed out that Pierson received some $11,000 in unemployment benefits from the Texas Workforce Commission from January 2012 to November 2013meaning she was receiving government support during a period in which she consulted for Ted Cruzs 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 Nations Agenda 21 at a meeting of the Waco Tea Party. Under the UNs 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.
