Crazy Donald Trump spokesperson with bullet necklace also unemployment cheat & shoplifter



Katrina Pierson, the national spokeswoman for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, collected at least $11,000 in unemployment benefits while she was still working.

Pierson received these benefits from the Texas Workforce Commission between January 2012 and November 2013. At the same time she received this government money, Pierson was working as a consultant for Ted Cruz’s campaign for the U.S. Senate.

Receiving unemployment benefits while she was still working would seem to go against the grain of the message being pushed by Trump and the Republican Party, who have often been quick to blame minorities and immigrants for being on the government dole, supposedly taking up resources that should be going to white Americans (in reality, whites are the most likely to receive welfare benefits).

The spokeswoman, who recently made news in a CNN appearance where she wore a necklace made out of bullets and promised to wear one stylized like fetuses after gun violence prevention advocates called her out, also had an arrest for shoplifting. She stole clothing from a JC Penney store in Plano, Texas. She had her child with her.

My first impression was "wow, that woman is wearing a LOT of makeup". Sorry, but that's what hit me. Then, of course, I noticed the nonsense she was spouting.

It makes you wonder who is doing the hiring for the Trump campaign. Maybe they can't find any reasonable person who's willing to work for him.

Do I need a sarcasm tag on this?

She's also a dedicated Tea Party activist.

Trump is trying to be as outrageous as possible and STILL be #1 with the GOP!

"What can I say - who can I hire - who can I offend - it doesn't matter - I'm the Donald!"

Maybe scarier is the number of people who support him!!!!!!!!!!!!!
