Katrina Pierson on Fox News: "Slavery is good! Because it caused the Civil War!"

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/katrina-pierson-implodes-on-fox-slavery-is-an-example-of-how-special-and-wonderful-this-country-is/

-----------

The Civil War made the US what they are today. Therefore it is good.

Slavery caused the Civil War.

Therefore slavery is good.

The confederate statues remind us of something good.

Therefore they must stay.

That's her argument.
