Katrina Pierson crashes in epic flameout by blaming Obama for Capt. Khan’s 2004 death

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/watch-katrina-pierson-crashes-in-epic-flameout-by-blaming-obama-for-capt-khans-2004-death/

Did Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton get in a time machine and go back to 2004 to change the rules of engagement that cost Humayun Khan his life?...

Specifically, Pierson told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday that Capt. Humayun Khan “probably” died because Obama and Clinton crippled our military’s ability to fight by changing the rules of engagement.

“But surely you can understand the confusion, considering how Donald Trump never voted for the Iraq War, Hillary Clinton did,” Pierson said. “Then she didn’t support the troops to have what they need. It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagements that probably cost his life! So I don’t understand why it’s so hard to understand why Donald Trump was confused.”

There is a very obvious problem with this, of course: Khan was killed by a car bomb all the way back in 2004. During that time, Clinton was a senator for New York and Obama wasn’t even a senator yet.


This may explain why Katrina and the Brainwaves never released another record after "Walking On Bullcrap".

There has been quite a bit written about her on Juanita Jean's Most Dangerous Beauty Shop blog, including a failed tea party run for US representative from a North Dallas District.

Several years before you-know-what.

The point being that Katrina Pierson has no brainwaves.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson says reports show Khizr Khan supports Sharia law over the U.S. Constitution, even though Khan has adamantly disavowed such claims.
