Apparently Katrina Pierson says ridiculous crap due to "audio difficulties hearing questions."

But Miller defended Pierson Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” after she falsely claimed a day earlier that Barack Obama was president when the United States invaded Afghanistan.

“Katrina is a valuable member of our team,” Miller said. “We’re glad to have her on board. She’s on board pretty early with Mr. Trump. As you heard her say, there was some audio difficulties hearing that question.”



Indeed, Pierson tweeted Saturday afternoon about audio problems, though they weren’t apparent during the segment. Pierson said on air that “Barack Obama went into Afghanistan,” and when given an opportunity to clarify if she meant the invasion happened after 2009, said it was “Obama’s war.”

The U.S. entered Afghanistan shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, while Obama wasn’t sworn in as president until Jan. 20, 2009.

answer to the question. All their personalities are trained what to say. How else could Steve Doucy be on air?

Fox has all of their content aimed at psychologically stimulating their audience to be angry and afraid. Perhaps she figured her audience wouldn't care, it sounds good!
