Katrina Pierson Accusses Obama and Clinton of Starting the Civil War

Katrina Pierson, the Trump Presidential Campaign's national media spokesperson, raised eyebrows today when appearing on CNN. In an interview in which she defended Donald Trump Jr.'s remarks advocating displaying the Confederate Flag in Philadelphia Mississippi nearly three weeks ago, she accused Barak Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton for the United States Civil War.

Ms. Pierson said, "the last thing any of us should do is criticize Mr. Trump's son's defense of the Confederate Flag. After all, President Obama and Secretary Clinton are responsible for that bitter conflict and countless deaths. They made the fateful decision to send American troops into South Carolina that started that war. The blood is on their hands. After all, if Obama and Clinton didn't start the Civil War, there would have been no need for a Confederate Flag"

Obama and Clinton made the decision to invade England in 1066, right?

Had to read it twice before realizing who they were talking about.

Kate Pierson has more brains in one of her fingernails than this Katrina Pierson Person (Person Pierson?) has in her whole head.

She's - Kate Pierson, that is- very cool and I'm pretty sure quite progressive. I've been fortunate to catch the B-52s live a couple times, super fun band.

Unfortunately I blew my knee out at their concert at Great Woods dancing on slippery grass. Still, it was worth it!

She would have accused them of starting "The War of Yankee Aggression", not the Civil War.

Sort of like the way WWII was "The War of English Aggression"
