Trump’s Spox Says He ‘Brought Back Freedom Of Speech’ With ‘P**sy’ Insult

A campaign spokeswoman for Donald Trump said Tuesday said her candidate “single-handedly brought back freedom of speech” when he repeated a woman calling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) a “pussy.”

In an appearance on CNN’s “At This Hour With Berman and Bolduan,” Katrina Pierson said there is “a full-blown assault” on freedom of speech in America.

“We have a full-blown assault on the First Amendment,” she said. “Donald Trump has single-handedly brought back freedom of speech. Yes, he did repeat what a voter said, but this is also the ‘leave free or die’ state.”

At a packed rally on Monday night, Trump repeated the words of a member of the audience who called Cruz “a pussy” for his opposition to legalizing waterboarding, which Trump supported at Saturday’s Republican presidential debate.

Trump defended using the vulgar word, saying that rally participants “were all just having fun.” He told Fox News that calling Cruz a pussy after a supporter did so was the equivalent of a retweet.

“This is where your rights are really important to you as an individual,” Pierson said on CNN. “The fact that Donald Trump is out there saying what he thinks and means is important.”

“He’s not testing messages like so many other candidates are. He’s just being himself with voters,” she added.

  1. I am shocked, shocked that Katrina Pierson said something absurd.

  2. If libtard journalists only knew the Constitution by heart the way Kat Pierson does, they wouldn’t be giving the Donald grief over this. To quote directly:

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free use of the word pussy; or abridging the freedom of to say pussy; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble to call other people pussies, and to petition the government to pick on pussies.

    You know, girl, CNN only invites on because you always make an ass of yourself – with a straight face, to boot!

  4. I think minors are allowed to attend Trump rallies. I assume Trump and Katrina Pierson, in the spirit of advancing unfettered free speech, would be in favor of allowing liberal use of profane language on daytime and early evening network television broadcasts. If Trump can talk this way in front of minors at his rallies, why shouldn’t ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox broadcast similar language to elementary age children arriving home from school at 4PM?

  5. but this is also the ‘leave free or die’ state."

    They sure do like outsiders’ dollars, but not the actual outsiders, I guess.
