NOW what do we do ??
She was also endorsed by Ted’s dad:

I guess everyone is wrong about her, ho-hum.
This supposedly "new" story actually surfaced when Mark Lamont Hill did a program with Katrin and Roy Innis, about blacks in the TEA PARTY and appears to be a smear on BLACK CONSERVATIVES.
As we all saw with Glenn Beck and his idiotic rant about Trump voting for Obama, which he didn't do, TWEETS can be made to look real, but aren't.
Is Katrina guilty of this stuff? I have no idea and neither do ANY OF YOU !
If she does "idolize" Malcolm, that's bad and no, I do NOT and shall NOT claim that it doesn't matter.
And by Ted’s father AND Michelle Malkin !
And I suggest that you find out more about this.
Katrina disappoints me greatly.
I’m not going to presume to know the whole story here with this. But I remember when she first came on to the scene in that Dallas Tea Party speech. She was great. She said about everything that you would want a Tea Party conservative at that time to say. She had an inspiring story that she didn’t really go deeply into but saying that she came from a welfare family and was headed down that road until she got motivated to make something of herself. At this time you had Janeane Garofalo being her ignorant ugly self saying the Tea Party was about hating a black man in the White House and you had this lovely black lady inviting Janeane to a future rally.
I friended her, or “liked” her on Facebook. I think by the time I got to her, she was already over the Facebook “friend” limit, or shortly was after she accepted my request. I remember how proud she was when she helped Ted Cruz get elected to the Senate and how proud she was to help support good SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES in their run for office.
I don’t really care who she supports. I could say I’m disappointed that she is working for Trump, but that’s her choice. But why in the world she would want to get nasty against or downplay values that she used to claim were so important to her is beyond me.
But then from my standpoint working or being associated with Trump tends to lead to nastiness and being pulled leftward on your values.
But....Ted Cruz did not.
Trump, in 2013, endorsed communist Bill De Blasio for New York City mayor. He supports Obama’s opening up to communist Cuba. He loves Putin. He, in his mid-50s, supported gays in the military AND partial birth abortion.
Maybe they are mistakes. I don’t know.
What I DO KNOW is this. The double standard is always high with Trump.
When Jeb Bush’s campaign made dumb errors like sending out a picture of him with a black man’s hand and I think there was something else too in which he had a background of, I don’t remember of it was Great Britain instead of America, but regardless we made fun or criticized him- mostly made fun, and understandably so. We wondered how either Jeb or the people helping Jeb could be so incompetent.
Yet with Trump, these same things happen, and it’s “Nothing to see here. Moving on people.”
Good for you.
I don’t happen to like your candidate, but I’ll always respect people who can be even handed or open to criticizing their own in one way or another.
He's praised Chuck Shumer, saying we should work with Democrats; He's praised and donated to the Clintons."
....."I mean, I've contributed to Schumer, I contribute - I've known Schumer for many, many years. And I have a good relationship with him. The fact is, that I think it is time maybe that we all do get along," [Trump] told Hannity."...Source
Trump: Well, I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe, so, you know. There's a lot of stupidity going on in the world right now, Joe. Lot of killing going on, a lot of stupidity, and that's the way it is.
Looky here - Teddy:
“The Dallas Morning News, “Ted Cruz adds Katrina Pierson to his expanding list of the ‘utterly fearless,’” January 13, 2014”
“When Pierson herself ran for Congress in 2014, Cruz showed his support for her, saying, “Katrina Pierson is an utterly fearless principled conservative.” “
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/donald-trump-katrina-pierson-216005
“....When she mounted a primary challenge to Texas Rep. Pete Sessions last year, it came out that she had received federal unemployment benefits while assisting Cruz’s run. A 1997 arrest for shoplifting also surfaced. Pierson, who was 20 at the time of the arrest, fit it into a narrative of pulling herself up by her bootstraps.
Born to a 15-year-old mother, Pierson grew up on welfare and gave birth to a child of her own at a young age, raising him as a single mother after her short-lived marriage to the boy’s father ended in divorce. She earned a bachelor’s degree in biology in 2006 and voted for Barack Obama in 2008. But, beginning with Obama’s refusal to wear an American flag pin on his lapel, Pierson began to take issue with him and threw herself instead into Texas tea party activities, which led her to Cruz’s campaign and her own challenge to Sessions.
The appeal of that life story proved insufficient to knock off Sessions, who cruised to an easy victory in March 2014.
A Sessions campaign aide described Cruz’s support for Pierson in the primary as “half-assed.” While Cruz’s father, Rafael, endorsed Pierson, the senator stopped short of doing so, though he did offer praise. Pierson said she did not seek Cruz’s endorsement. “Rafael was good enough,” she said. “I love him. He is the same as Ted to me.”......
You don't care and YOU aren't evenhanded nor honest with yourself nor us. Just as long as you can trash Trump, you're delighted. You don't care if this story is true or not; just as long as you hope that something will ruin Trump, you're happy!
Would YOU have posted this IF she was still working for Cruz? I seriously doubt that!
You got another big nothing burger.
Ted Cruz: “Katrina Pierson is an utterly fearless principled conservative.”
Unlike some posters here, I am an honest person and always even handed.
She’s a self-promoting - go anywhere I can get to the next level - opportunist.
You seem to have some serious problems with your memory. Trump has a list from here to the moon of troubling endorsements and praises for some of the worst pieces of crap on the planet: Obama, Putin, De Blasio, the North Korean communist dictator, on and on.
I LINK to articles, so please don’t wrap yourself in self-righteous indignation.
I have never claimed perfection, I work to get information out there.
BTW - check out Post # 34 (NOTE: w/link - as usual) to her history (inc with Cruz).
