When CNNâs Alisyn Camerota again pointed out that Khan was killed during Bushâs administration, Pierson fired back: âBut Donald Trump wasnât there! That is the only point. Donald Trump is being blamed for something he had nothing to do with, and he did not attack this family.â
Of all the Drumpfetteâs, Pierson is undoubtedly the most bizarre.
And thereâs a lot of contenderâs.
THese TimesLINes aRE JUST SMOKEscreeN attempting to HIDE THE FAct THAT Ohbummer Personally Murdered KHAn.
See, journalists? Itâs not that fucking hard to do your job. It might even be fun.
Fricking CNN canât do anything correctly. Hereâs Pierson walking back her statement:
Co-anchor John Berman reminded Pierson that on Tuesday she had told Wolf Blitzer that Clinton and Obama changed the combat rules of engagement that âprobably cost his life.â
âYou do acknowledge now that there you were just wrong?â Berman asked.
âWell, absolutely,â Pierson said. âThatâs why I used âprobably,â because I was just going through the timeline, because since then we have had tens of thousands of soldiers that have been lost, one million wounded, $6 trillion later. How can we possibly put any the onerous [sic] on Donald Trump? It is absolutely absurd. And thatâs why you see all this confusion surrounding this issue, because Donald Trump had absolutely nothing to do with this.â
Wounded, per Wiki-- 20,904 Afghanistan/36,710 Iraq:
As you can see, Piersonâs lunatic ravings about the number of dead and wounded in the two conflicts are wildly inaccurate and hyperbolic, par for her appearances. With no pushback from CNN. One million wounded? WTF?
This is one person I wonât miss when this whole circus is overâŚ
AgainâŚshe is a lying, toxic little btch. That is not âsexistâ. That is the truth. She will defend Trump because he wasnât there, he didnât vote and turn around mid sentence and tell you he was AGAINST this or that and told EVERYBODY about itâŚeven when (IF!) she is presented with facts that show differently.
FFS, everything she says is deflection anyway. The goddamn point Khan was making is that his son wouldnât have been in the military if Trump had kept them out of the country. The argument was not that Trump harmed the Khans, it was that excluding people based solely on religion is unconstitutional and un-American and insults the sacrifice the Khans made as loyal, contributing Americans. This blanket suspicion based only on one factor of a personâs life is stupid and unfair. Thatâs the argument. Sheâs never addressed the core of the controversy because thereâs no rebuttal to the Khansâ argument possible.
She is the perfect Trumpeter, dumb as they come.
Yes, yes, yesâŚ
Camerotaâs co-host, John Berman, asked Pierson again if she acknowledged that she was wrong to blame Obama and Clinton for âprobablyâ causing Khanâs death in the line of duty.
âWell, absolutely. Thatâs why I used probably, because I was just going through the timeline,â she replied, before insisting that Trump âdid not vote for that war, period.â
It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagements that probably cost his life. So I donât understand why itâs so hard to understand why Donald Trump was confused about why he was being held responsible for something he had nothing to do with."
Iâm adding Edwin Diaz to my rosters, but hereâs that source of what she actually said.
Geez
gee, 1 Mill does sound like a whole lot, but it is a nice round number. the âtime line mistake defenseâ is one that i had not heard. and those dirty old fact checkers got no sense of humor.
I think CNN is trying now, but itâs been such a long, long, long time since anyone there has actually done journalism and research that theyâre obviously really rusty. Math is hard!
The Khans are not blaming their sonâs death on Trump, you lunatic. Theyâre not blaming it on Bush, Obama or Clinton, either. They arenât blaming it on anyone except the car bombers who actually killed him. They are attacking Trump for portraying Muslims as enemies who should be deported and kept out of the country. The entire point of their speech is that Muslims are American patriots, and in the case of their son, heroes.
Sounds like she still blaming them to me
âPierson Grudgingly Admits She Was Wrong To Blame Khanâs Death On Obama.â
But she still blames him for 9/11, the JFK assassination, the missing Lindbergh baby, and the Sack of Rome.
Yes, she can go back to shoplifting clothes from JC Penney. Donât believe me? 'Tis True!
This is stuff a kid with a computer could dig up, create a graphic, have relayed to a backscreen and have behind Piersonâs head in literally a matter of seconds. I did it that fast. Thereâs no damned excuse in this day and age for not instantly, in real time, fact checking a guest IN THE MIDST OF AN INTERVIEW, and insisting on some coherent, honest answers to questions. If everyone did it one of two things would happen: Either you came prepared and told the truth, or you declined the interview out of fear of being monumentally embarrassed and shamed over your stupidity and dishonesty. Either is OK with me.
Katrinaâs going to have to start wearing her shrunken soldier head necklaceâŚ
Precisely!!!
