Katrina Pierson, Dallas conservative and MAGA loyalist, splits with Trump in Texas governor's race

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON — Since her eventful role as a face of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, Texas tea party provocateur Katrina Pierson has maintained her fierce loyalty to Trump and made it the key feature of her political image — in both the Lone Star State and Washington.

But as the race for governor heats up in Texas, Pierson is breaking with the former president and using her experience as a national campaign spokeswoman and senior campaign adviser to back underdog candidate Don Huffines in his bid to replace Gov. Greg Abbott. Trump endorsed Abbott in June.

“I am proud to support my former state senator in his run for Texas governor. Texas should never be in the shadows of Florida or any other states when our fundamental liberties and livelihoods are at risk,” Pierson said in an email Dec. 14. “Don Huffines will put Texans first, and that has been long overdue.”

Pierson threw her political cachet behind Huffines, the former Dallas state senator and staunch conservative, when she endorsed him in August. The Huffines campaign has contracted her consulting services as well.

4. More ratfckery from Roger Stone: Pierson "deeply involved" with 1/6

Roger Stone, an ally of former President Donald Trump, claimed this week that former Trump aide Katrina Pierson was "deeply involved" with the violence of the January 6 attack targeting the U.S. Capitol.
"Given what I know, I am perplexed as to why the January 6 committee has not issued a subpoena to Katrina Pierson, in other words, someone deeply involved in the violent and unlawful acts of January 6, rather than me, given that I was not there and have no advance knowledge or involvement whatsoever in the events at the Capitol That day #Jan6Cmte," Stone wrote in a message to his Telegram channel subscribers.
