Katrina Pierson is a spokeswoman for Donald Trump who has previously dominated headlines when she defended some of Trump’s most seemingly indefensible positions. She also famously wore a necklace made out of bullets on air during a CNN interview.


Recently, Pierson was tasked with speaking about Khizr Khan, the Muslim American Gold Star father who spoke about his son’s death in the line of duty at the DNC. Pierson took an interesting (and inaccurate approach) by blaming Captain Humayun Khan’s death on Obama’s policies. But Captain Khan died in 2004, four years before Obama even ran. Pierson’s historically inaccurate claim sparked a lot of humor on Twitter, in the form of the hashtag #KatrinaPiersonHistory. Check out some of the best entries below:
