Trump Campaign Spokesperson Katrina Pierson Leaves MSNBC Anchor "Speechless"

Trump Spox Katrina Pierson Destroys Kate Snow And Leaves Her Speechless! MUST WATCH!

Trump campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson left MSNBC anchor Kate Snow "speechless" Wednesday, when she said that the candidate is not responsible for peoples" mistaken reactions to statements of his, that she sees being taken out of context.

"If you listen to Donald Trump"s rallies," Pierson said about comments this week about the Second Amendment, "He talks about this all the time --at every rally-- If Hillary Clinton is able to appoint Supreme Court candidates [who are] against the Second Amendment, there has to be something to stop her."

"But does he have any responsibility for what people hear?" Snow asked. "For what they interpret as a remark inciting people to violence?"

"If he had control over the liberal news networks, absolutely," Pierson responded. "But he does not. And that is another reason why we are talking about this today. Because they have picked out a piece of what he was talking about in the greater context of a topic he talks about at every single rally. And that is: The power of the NRA, and that is the ability for Hillary Clinton, if elected, to appoint candidates for the Supreme Court who will actually strip the rights from law abiding citizens to defend themselves."

"Hhe wasn"t talking about policy, he wasn"t talking about implementation of policy. He was talking about what would happen if Hillary Clinton were to be elected, and he was absolutely right," Pierson said.

"I"m speechless because I"m trying to follow your logic, here Katrina," responded Snow. "I"m having a hard time.

KATE SNOW, MSNBC: If he is elected president, every word is going to matter, right? Every word matters when you are president... If his words are misinterpreted, he will not get a do-over if he is president... I think that is what a lot of people are reacting to here. If he misspoke, you don"t get a do-over as president...

KATRINA PIERSON, TRUMP CAMPAIGN: I don"t think you get a do-over on anything at that level, like the imaginary red line in the middle east. Just like paying hostage money to Iran... When you"re talking at a rally about the Second Amendment, and Hillary Clinton and Supreme Court Justices, to infer that something horrible could happen. I think we should talk about the horrible things that have already happened when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Like the emails that were just released that show her trading favors to donors to the Clinton Foundation. These are things that have a real impact on national security, as well as how the government functions. Hillary Clinton was for sale, and that means if she were president, our government would be too...

KATE SNOW: To go back to my question, you have no concern about his ability as president if he were president to make an argument with foreign leaders, with -- in negotiations and not be misconstrued or misunderstood?

KATRINA PIERSON: Absolutely not. I have no concerns with that whatsoever. He"s not going to be dealing with foreign leaders at a political rally. It will definitely be a more serious discussion and not an off-the-cuff discussion.

SNOW: There"s a difference between speeches at a political rally and speech with foreign leaders when you"re president?

PIERSON: Well, yeah, he wasn"t talking about policy, he wasn"t talking about implementation of policy. He was talking about what would happen if Hillary Clinton were to be elected, and he was absolutely right.

SNOW: I"m speechless because I"m trying to follow your logic, here Katrina. I"m having a hard time.

PIERSON: I can tell.

SNOW: There"s a difference in your head between speaking to a rally and things you say in front of a public group like that, and what he"s going to do when he"s actually in the office?

PIERSON: You know, I really don"t see Barack Obama sitting and telling us exactly what happens in his private discussions with foreign leaders.

The administration has already admitted to lying to the American public about the Iran deal. We already know Hillary Clinton lied to the public about what happened in Benghazi and lied to the faces of the families who died in Benghazi. There were very different things being said behind the scenes than what was being said in public. Wouldn"t you agree?

"Another stupid thing": CNN panel slams Katrina Pierson"s excuse for Trump"s "2nd Amendment" snafu

Trump Spox Katrina Pierson: We Weren’t in Afghanistan Until Obama Decided to Go In

Donald Trumps national campaign spokesperson insisted on Tuesday that the GOP presidential nominee was not trying to incite violence against Hillary Clinton earlier in the day with his suggestion that Second Amendment people could stop her.

Everyone knows Hillary Clinton is a gun-grabber, Katrina Pierson told CNN host Jake Tapper. And everyone knows that if shes in a position to appoint Supreme Court justices, she will do everything she can to remove the Second Amendment. So Mr. Trump was clearly pointing that out, as he has done every day on the campaign trail.

The former reality TV star was quickly criticized by both Democrats and fellow conservatives after saying at a North Carolina campaign rally, If she gets to pick her [Supreme Court] judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is.

He was talking about what Second Amendment activists could do to stop her if she won to stop her from appointing a gun-control nominee to the Supreme Court, Tapper told Bowden. It wasnt about November Its not about November, its after November.

Thats actually not what he was talking about. Just before that he was saying as you said what could happen. He doesnt want that to happen, she replied. And in order to stop that, people that support their Second Amendment rights need to come together and get out there and stop Hillary Clinton from winning in November.

When Tapper asked why Trump did not just simply say he misspoke following the uproar, Pierson said a statement from his campaign saying that he was actually referring to the power of unification inherent in the Second Amendment provided enough clarification.

However, conservative analyst Ana Navarro had a less charitable take on Trumps remarks, saying that he could not grasp the influence he now has in an inflamed political climate.

It sounded like yet another stupid thing that comes out of Trumps mouth, she said. It sounded like, Oh my G*d, here we go again, its Groundhog Day. Just when I thought he might be shifting into policy with that speech yesterday, here were all gonna have to react to yet another stupid, undisciplined thing that Donald Trump said because he seems not to understand the power of words.

Democratic strategist Paul Begala said that, while reasonable people were right to be incensed by Trumps statement, he worried about how someone who is unreasonable would take it.

I fear that an unbalanced person hears that as Ana points out, in an inflamed environment and G*d forbid, thinks that that was a threat, he said. I certainly take it as a threat, and Trump needs to apologize.

Watch the discussion, as posted online, below.

Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson backtracks on blaming Obama for 2004 death of Humayun Khan

Trump Spox Katrina Pierson Destroys Kate Snow And Leaves Her Speechless! MUST WATCH!

Donald Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson admitted her timeline was off when she suggested that President Obama and Hillary Clinton were somehow to blame for the death of U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who died in Iraq in 2004 when George W. Bush was commander in chief.

What I was talking about is Donald Trump has no connection with anything to do with Capt. Khan, Pierson said on CNNs New Day Wednesday morning. Hillary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq. She did not support the surge. Barack Obama made things worse by invading more countries than President Bush did.

Donald Trump wasnt there, she added. That was the only point. Donald Trump is being blamed for something he had nothing to do with.

During a discussion with CNNs Wolf Blitzer the night before, Pierson was asked if her boss had any plans to apologize to the Khan family for suggesting that Ghazala Khan, Humayuns grieving mother, was not allowed to speak at last weeks Democratic National Convention because she is Muslim.

What exactly is Mr. Trump supposed to be apologizing for? Pierson asked. It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagements that probably cost his life.

The gaffe went viral overnight, as a hashtag (#KatrinaPiersonHistory) mocking her grasp of history began trending on Twitter.

Pierson even used the hashtag herself.

But it backfired.

The war of words between Trump and the Khans began at last weeks Democratic National Convention, where Khizr Khan delivered a stinging rebuke of Trump over his call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States a policy that would have prevented his son from serving in the U.S. military.

Donald Trump, youre asking Americans to trust you with their future, Khan said. Let me ask you: Have you even read the United States Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy. Look for the words liberty and equal protection of law.

Khizr Khan said Piersons comments were another example of a lack of factual correctness among Trumps surrogates.

Please, show some decency, Khan said on CNN Tuesday following Pierson, a frequent guest on cable news.

On Wednesday, Pierson admitted she was absolutely wrong to assert Obama and Clintons actions cost Khan his life.

Thats why I used probably, she said. I was just going through the timeline. Because since then, we have had tens of thousands of soldiers that have been lost, 1 million wounded. Six trillion dollars later, how can we possibly put any of the onus on Donald Trump? Its absolutely absurd, and thats why you see so much confusion around this issue.

But no one was blaming Donald Trump for Captain Khans death, CNNs Alisyn Camerota said. You were blaming President Obama and he wasnt president yet.

Donald Trump"s spokeswoman Katrina Pierson says (incorrectly) that it was Obama who "went into Afghanistan"

Katrina Pierson Gets Frustrated and Yells at CNN Anchor Over Her Latest Trump Spin Appearance

Donald Trump"s spokeswoman leveled false accusations against President Obama on Saturday, saying he started the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.

When asked on CNN about Trump sayingObama was the "founder" of Islamic State, spokeswoman Katrina Pierson delivered a lengthy response in which she proclaimedit was Obama who "went into Afghanistan," where U.S. troops had begun fighting in 2001 under former President George W. Bush.

"Remember, we werent even in Afghanistan by this time," she said of Obama taking office in 2009. "Barack Obama went into Afghanistan creating another problem."

The visibly surprised CNN anchor pressed Pierson to confirm that she was saying thatObama took the country into Afghanistan.

"What I"m saying is the policies of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that was Obamas war, yes, Pierson said.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Pierson cited audio problems.

Pierson, who ran unsuccessfully in a 2014 primary against Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), is a regular face on cable news, staunchly defending her boss.

But she"s also been the subject of controversy.

When Trump recently battled publicly with Khizr Khan, whose sonwas killed by a car bomb in 2004 while serving in Iraq, Pierson blamed Obama for the death of the fallen soldier. Humayun Khan was killed five years before Obamatook office.

"It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagement that probably cost [Capt. Khans]life," she said on CNN this month.

The nonpartisanPolitiFact ranked her claim "pants on fire" its harshest critiquein terms of false statements.
