Donald Trump flack Katrina Pierson blamed Humayun Khan’s death on Hillary Clinton and President Obama — even though the soldier died during the George W. Bush administration.

Contrary to Pierson’s erroneous statement on CNN Tuesday night, the U.S. Army captain was killed during a suicide bombing in Iraq in 2004, five years before Obama assumed the presidency.

“It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagement that probably cost his life,” said Pierson, alluding to the 2009 order tightening restrictions on when troops can engage in combat.

The statement surfaced during a contentious back-and-forth with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on whether her Republican nominee boss should apologize to Khizr Khan forinsulting his son’s legacy, as wellas his wife.

STASI: Dictator Donald Trump has gone crazy

Pierson argued that her billionaire boss should be exempt from apologizing because he “never voted for the Iraq War.”

“Hillary Clinton did,” Pierson added. “And then she didn’t support the troops to have what they need.”

The interview ended seconds after Pierson’s claim with Blitzer thanking the Trump campaign spokeswoman for joining him on “The Situation Room.”

He returned minutes later to clarify Pierson’s remarks.

Veteran-mocking Trump admitted he lacked ‘the guts’ to serve

“Captain Khan died in service in Iraq in 2004, five years before President Obama took office,” Blitzer added. “President Bush was then President of the United States. Just want to fact check that.”

Later on CNN, Anderson Cooper asked fallen soldier’s father to comment on Pierson’s allegation.

“Do I need to say anything?” Khizr Khan said. “Lack of understanding, lack of factual correctness, it’s just nothing but political vote pandering.”

Pierson’s historical liberty inspired a series of hot takes on Twitter under the hashtag#KatrinaPiersonHistory, blaming Obama for the Hindenberg explosion, JFK assassination and breaking up The Beatles.

Even Christie and Giuliani say Trump should've backed off Khans

It conjured memories of the “Thanks, Obama,” meme, which was used to blame the President for personal problems of minor consequence.

Trump Spokeswoman Blames Obama For Cpt. Khan’s Death: She Forgot One Important Thing (VIDEO)


Posted by Christian Drake on 02 Aug 2016

Katrina Pierson, Donald Trump’s most clueless spokesperson, just ensured she won’t have much of a political future after Trump loses, judging by the disastrous interview she just gave on CNN.

Wolf Blitzer was talking with her about Donald Trump’s recent attack on the Muslim parents of a dead Iraq war hero. Outside of the usual offensive and extremely stupid nonsense that Katrina says on TV, she said something so dumb that not even Trump himself could spin it in a way that didn’t look embarrassing for him.

Special: Forget Diets & Gym Workouts - Here's Something You Can Stick To.

Katrina was trying to justify Trump’s attacks on the Captain Khan’s parents when they spoke out against his Islamophobic bigotry during the most powerful speech of the DNC. Wolf pointed out that Trump should have just praised the family, and their son, for the sacrifices made by them on behalf of the nation, and left it at that.

Katrina was having none of that. She actually suggested that Trump was right to attack them because he didn’t vote for the Iraq war. As if THAT has anything to do with anything. Then, she went fully stupid. Katrina tried the old strategy of BLAME OBAMA. It always worked in the past, so why not now? Let me tell you why not …

Barack Obama was not even president when Captain Khan was killed in action in 2004.
There’s not much more to say. Regular words don’t really capture the essence of how dumb this is. Barack Obama owns a time machine, and after getting elected in 2008, he went back to 2004 and caused the death of a U.S. soldier. Trump says so, so it must be true.

HUH? Barack Obama was not in office in 2004 when Capt Khan died you dumb bint that was George W. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz. By the way Hillary voted for diplomacy and to continue the inspections Bush tacked on the war vote at the last minute he said it would give the inspections leverage...Bush lied...he invaded Iraq before diplomacy and/or the inspectors finished their tasks..and she wasn't the only one who got bamboozled... Deflecting to Hillary has nothing to do with what Donald Trump did by disrespecting a gold star family and lying about the Vietnam War memorial...This chick never sticks to the topic. Besides Katrina is a shoplifter...a crook.

Fact checking is not important in the Trump camp it seems. A 10 second goggle search shows Humayuna Khan death happened in 2004, that's under Bush. What a stupid twat.

Louisiana Gov To Donald Trump: F*ck You, We Will Not Let You Exploit Our Tragedy
August 19, 2016Samantha Kilgore News

Governor Edwards To Trump: Stay Home And Write A Check Instead
Louisiana Governor Edwards refuses to let the tragic flooding in his state of Louisiana be used for Donald Trump’s political advantages.

On Thursday, small-fingered, failed businessman and current GOP presidential nominee announced that he would visit the areas hardest hit by the flooding in Louisiana. And in an incredibly smooth, but no-nonsense move, Governor Edwards put Trump firmly in his place.


A spokesperson for Governor Edward’s office released the following statement:

Donald Trump hasn’t called the governor to inform him of his visit. We welcome him to LA but not for a photo-op. Instead we hope he’ll consider volunteering or making a sizable donation to the LA Flood Relief Fund to help the victims of the storm.

Or, in other words, fuck you, Donnie, find another tragedy to exploit, only, you know, more diplomatic, because it’s Governor Edwards.

On Friday morning, Trump’s newest gal pal and semi-sane (but not too sane, because she is working for Donald Trump, after all) campaign manager Kellyanne Conway hastily stated that the visit wasn’t at all a political stunt. Oh, no. This was simply Donald Trump being “presidential” (LOL), and it would be a “decidedly non-political event, no press allowed, going to help people on the ground who are in need.”

It’s too late, though. There is not one single person who believes that this is anything but what it is – a desperate attempt at attention from a floundering candidate who has realized that bashing a Gold Star family and doubling down on his racism may not win him all the votes. Governor Edwards knows that, the residents of Louisiana know that, all of America knows that.

Donald Trump has already shown us who he is, again and again. And we believe him.

Trump Is Trying To Be ‘Presidental’…And Failing
Furthermore, Governor Edwards has laid out, in detail, why visiting politicians actually create more harm than good during disasters. When a high-ranking official – or even someone who is making a desperate attempt to become such an official, like Trump – visits, it pulls critical personnel, such as police officers, away from the more pressing and immediate duties.

It’s why, despite growing cries of protest from the right and conservative pearl-clutching over President Obama’s decision to not drop everything and go to Louisiana, is actually the right decision. Obama has stayed away, and it is the presidential move to make. Furthermore, Governor Edwards asked President Obama to hold off on a visit, and expressed appreciation for it during an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Thursday evening.

“The president is welcome anytime he wants to come…In all honesty, if he was gonna visit I would just assume it’d be a week or ten days, fourteen days from now because the vice president was here about three weeks ago, to a memorial service for the victims of the police officers who were killed here, and I will tell you, it is a major ordeal. They free up the interstate for them, we have to take hundreds of local first responders, police officers, sheriff’s deputies and state troopers, to provide security for that type of visit. I would just as soon have those people engaged in the response rather than trying to secure the president. So I’ve asked him to wait, if he would, another couple of weeks.”

Stay Home, Donald
However, Donald Trump is so “presidential” that he simply does not care that his arrival in Louisiana will cause hundreds of first responders to leave the more pressing, urgent task of providing aid to flood victims and instead, escort his Day-Glo orange ass around the countryside. And that’s ridiculous. It’s disgraceful. His actions are an absolute insult to not only Governor Edwards, but to the entire state of Louisiana. And he is certainly not being presidential.

The grieving dad of an Army corporal killed in Afghanistan said that President Trump promised to send him a personal check for $25,000 — but didn’t follow through until Wednesday, a new report said.

Chris Baldridge, the father of 22-year-old Army Cpl. Dillon Baldridge,told The Washington Postthat Trump called him at his home in Zebulon, NC, weeks after his son and two other soldiers were gunned down by an Afghan police officer on June 10.

“He said, ‘I’m going to write you a check out of my personal account for $25,000,’ and I was just floored,” Baldridge told the paper.

“I could not believe he was saying that, and I wish I had it recorded because the man did say this. He said, ‘No other president has ever done something like this,’ but he said, ‘I’m going to do it.’ ”

But the check never arrived, though the cash-strapped construction worker said he did get a letter of condolence from the president.

White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said after the story broke that the check, about four months after it was promised, was now in the mail — and slammed the media for reporting the story.

“The check has been sent. It’s disgusting that the media is taking something that should be recognized as a generous and sincere gesture, made privately by the President, and using it to advance the media’s biased agenda,” she said.

The check was mailed on Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
