Here come the armrest truthers.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson fired off an unusual defense of the candidate, who was accused in The New York Times of raising the armrest of a first-class seat in order to grope a female passenger next to him more than 30 years ago.

Pierson told CNN’s Don Lemon that the incident couldn’t have happened as described because the armrests on planes back then didn’t move.

“Guess what? First-class seats have fixed armrests!” she said. “So what I can tell you about her story, if she was groped on a plane, it wasn’t by Donald Trump and it certainly wasn’t in first class.”

Aviation enthusiasts quickly debunked her:

3. She says it with such outraged indignation and conviction though.

I will give her style points for that.
