3:37Now PlayingApparently it has to do with “drama.” Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Katrina Pierson — the Trump surrogate who became notorious throughout the 2016 presidential campaign for making wildly inaccurate claims to support the president’s candidacy — has been very quiet over the past couple of months.
Although she officially joined a pro-Trump advocacy group called America First Policies this past January, Pierson has otherwise made very little noise on the national scene.
One Trump campaign source now tells Washingtonian that there’s a good reason for this — namely, Pierson was denied a position at the White House press office because she was incredibly bitter that the president chose Sean Spicer to be his press secretary.
“I love Katrina, but she was bitching to everyone that they should have chosen her and not Sean,” the official told Washingtonian. “It got back to Jared [Kushner] and Reince [Priebus]. And they ultimately decided they just didn’t want to deal with that sort of drama.”
Pierson’s surrogate work made her the repeated butt of jokes during the 2016 campaign, as she regularly made fantastical claims with no evidence to back them up.”*
