Regular Mediaite readers will be familiar with Katrina Pierson, the national spokesman for the Donald Trump campaign who has a habit of saying absolutely crazy things on national television. But who knew her Twitter history was just as insane?
Conservative and political reporters went on a retweet bonanza Friday and Saturday, digging through her timeline and digging out the best gems. Here are the best of the best:
That time she declared she was a “genious” [sic]
That time she dismissed the 2012 presidential race as a choice between “Mormon or jihadi” (presumably, Barack Obama is the jihadi)
That time she tweeted at a notorious bigot about Jews stealing people’s girlfriends.
That time she bashed the Catholic Church’s beliefs.
That time she declared the GOP racist, said Martin Luther King Jr. was too moderate, and that Malcolm X was her hero.
That time she denounced Obama as the “head Negro,” and warned about “white liberals and the negroes they use against us.”
The multiple times she endorsed her boss’ rival Ted Cruz for president.

Pierson responded Saturday morning by sarcastically tweeting, “Let’s see who can make up the most fake tweets in 24hrs.” Which is certainly a bizarre position to take, given all of the tweets are still up on her timeline.
