Katrina Pierson, the national spokesperson for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, on Sunday defended her call for a “pure breed” president by arguing that she was a “half-breed” like President Barack Obama.

In 2012, Pierson had complained that both then-GOP nominee Mitt Romney and Obama were not “pure breeds” because their fathers had not been born in the United States. She has also quipped on Twitter that Obama was refusing to help the black community even though he was the “head Negro in charge.”

On Sunday, Pierson told CNN’s Brian Stelter that “even minorities and women” were supporting Trump.

Stelter reminded Pierson that she had griped that Obama was not a “pure breed.”

“Would you like to retract that?” he wondered.

“No, not at all,” she replied. “These tweets — I’m an activist and I am a half-breed. I’m always getting called a half-breed. And on Twitter when you’re fighting with liberals and even establishment, you go back at them in the same silliness they are giving you.”

“So, I myself am a half-breed,” Pierson added. “We have entered silly season. Donald Trump is up in the polls. There’s desperate campaigns out there, they can’t take him down so they try to take down the people that are around him. And we’re just not going to get distracted by all that nonsense.”

She's insane.

1. Wasn't tRump's mom born in Scotland?

2. And inter breeding leads to such fine genetic stock I suppose?

This is another non-sequitur argument that distracts from the real issues.

3. I am just amazed that someone with her background can be such a racist right-wing

republican.

12. Think of "battered wife syndrome" whenever confronted with such a person

Or Stockholm Syndrome, they are one in the same.

4. "Half-breed" was considered offensive in the 70s

Heck, Cher made a cheesy song about it:

5. And this is why Der Trumpenfuror is polling so well with white supremacists.

6. This is a half-black woman making these accusations.

Honestly, what causes people to identify with those who oppress them?

8. $$$

She joined the Tea Party and got on their committee as a paid adviser. It's where her bread is buttered. Though she does strike me as a Condoleezza Rice type who actually believes the right wing garbage she spews, I suspect the paycheck makes her say indefensible real life troll crap.

10. Odd, since by his stated standards...

...his own children are halfbreed mongrels.

Short answer: Society has made her ill.

11. Since this is a shot at Cruz, I'll let it go.

I hate Cruz more than Trump and this is a shot at Cruz not Obama.
