On Fox Business, Trump Spokeswoman Katrina Pierson Says Reporters "Literally Beat Trump Supporters I

Source: Media Matters

KATRINA PIERSON: It is no secret that the media definitely skews left. However, I think this cycle, many people will agree that it's above and beyond, over the top when it comes to Mr. Trump and his campaign, and I think that's Mr. Trump's way of fighting back. The last two presidential cycles, we had Republican candidates that just sat there and took a beating, and Mr. Trump isn't going to do that. And therefore, the voters want someone that's going to fight back because they are tired of seeing left-wing reporters literally beat Trump supporters into submission into supporting policies they don't agree with. It just shuts them down, and that's not what they're seeing in this campaign. So this is essentially Mr. Trump fighting back and making sure that his side of the story gets out.

This one may already have risen above her level of competence. It should be obvious that attacking the media is not a good career move for someone in her position.

the 4th grade, I personally have doubts that she even managed to get out of kindergarten since she clearly lives in some sort of fantasy land with unicorns and chocolate trees covered in glitter.

When people like Katrina Pierson can rise to the level of Presidential Candidate Spokeswoman without a grain of learning in grammar and syntax.

are two sides of narcissism. Because there is no stable interior structure, the narcissist must look outside of himself or herself for validation, and even the smallest divergence from the narcissistic ideal self-image can result in intense distress and pain for the patient.

I don't want to sound mean, but I hope that Democratic people are capable of using this weakness in Donald Trump. I would not normally recommend going for somebody's psychological disorders, but in this case I think it's justified.

We need MORE TRUTH from the media, not less, this will result in the wingnut-right crying about the 'liberal media' even more.

So be it. I think voters of all kinds are getting really fed up with all of the lies from our leaders.

But that still doesn't mean it is good speaking or writing. One would expect the spokesperson for a presidential candidate to use the language correctly.
