I was beginning to wonder where former Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson had gone. Shortly after she began speaking to Fox News's Ainsley Earhardt and Wendy Osefo on Fox & Friends this morning, I remembered why she was likely replaced in the first place. Here's part of their back-and-forth:
Pierson: "It (slavery) absolutely deserves a place, because bad history is still good history for this country --"
Osefo: "Slavery is good history?"
Pierson: "--considering where we are today, where we are today. Absolutely."
Osefo: "Slavery is good history? Absolutely. Oh, wow."
Pierson: "During those times, during those times -- think about this for a second. Where would we be today if not for that Civil War? How would our children even know --"
Osefo: "Where would we be without slavery? Are you serious? Do you hear what you're saying?"
Pierson: "How would our children even know how special and how wonderful this country is that we can even be having this discussion today?"
Osefo: "How special slavery is? You know how many people died?"
...and on they went...
Given her rationale for slavery, expect Ms. Pierson to utter the following lines at some point in the future (if she hasn't already):
You know what? I can't even satirize this. Katrina Pierson's despicable comments speak for themselves. Where would we be without slavery? I don't know, just ask the slaves. If Katrina Pierson sees slavery as a good part of American history, I can only imagine what she views as bad history in this country...
