She might want to look up the definition of the word “literally.”
Katrina Pierson, the national spokeswoman for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, baselessly claimed Monday that journalists have attacked supporters of the Republican nominee.
During a Fox Business interview, Pierson defended Trump’s incessant complaints about news coverage by suggesting “voters want someone who is going to fight back.”
“They are tired of seeing left-wing reporters literally beat Trump supporters into submission, into supporting policies they don’t agree with,” she said.
There is no evidence reporters have “literally beat” Trump supporters, even as some of the nominee’s fans have recently become enraged at the press.
Journalists, however, have faced violence while covering Trump. In March, former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski grabbed then-Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, who now writes for HuffPost. BuzzFeed reported that month that Lewandowski pushed a reporter from CNN, which now employs the former Trump operative.
A Secret Service agent roughed up a Time magazine photographer in February after he left the campaign’s designated “press pen” to cover a protest. Meanwhile, the Secret Service has also protected an NBC reporter after Trump singled her out at a rally.
Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller did not immediately respond for comment about Pierson’s claim.
But Miller defended Pierson Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” after she falsely claimed a day earlier that Barack Obama was president when the United States invaded Afghanistan.
“Katrina is a valuable member of our team,” Miller said. “We’re glad to have her on board. She’s on board pretty early with Mr. Trump. As you heard her say, there was some audio difficulties hearing that question.”
Katrina Pierson Claims Reporters 'Literally Beat Trump Supporters Into Submission'
Katrina Pierson is Trump's propaganda minister. Scottie Nell Hughes is the other one. Neither of them have any credibility. They are actually comical to watch.
