She is prone to making truly bizarre statements.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2018\/03\/13\/katrina-pierson\/\">Such as when she blamed President Obama<\/a> for starting the Afghan War &#8212; in 2001. <em>Oops!<\/em> That fight began on President Bush&#8217;s watch, about a month or so after the 9\/11 attack on New York City and Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Or the time she blamed Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for the death of U.S. Army Capt. Humayan Khan, whose parents were strong supporters of President Obama; remember how they stood before the 2016 Democratic convention to excoriate the GOP nominee, Trump. Oh, darn! She must have forgot that Capt. Khan died in Iraq <em>in 2004<\/em>, five years <em>before<\/em> Obama and Clinton assumed power.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m all excited to see Katrina Pierson return to the presidential campaign trail.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s good for plenty of laughs.
