Donald Trump’s Spokeswoman In 2012: Gay People Are ‘Not Normal’; Huffington Post, 8/3/16

Jennifer Bendery, Huffington Post; Donald Trump’s Spokeswoman In 2012: Gay People Are ‘Not Normal’ :

"Asked how she squares her past comments with Trump’s claims that he’s a friend to LGBT people, Pierson told The Huffington Post that it’s “a long reach” to look at her tweets from 2012.

“What does 2012 have to do with the 2016 presidential campaign?” she wrote in an email. “You’ll also find that as a grassroots volunteer for multiple campaigns, it’s quite common that Twitter is a platform to promote/defend the policies and values of the candidates at the time. Many times, it’s about engaging trolls which can lead to humorous and sarcastic banter. I’m sure you’ll also find that the positions/values of the candidates are not necessarily a sole reflection of the individual promoting or supporting said candidate.”

Pierson added, “Therefore, there is nothing to square. I support Mr. Trump and his policies 100 percent.”"
