SNIP..........
In innumerable hits on CNN and Fox last year, Pierson made inconceivable claims including that President Obama started the war in Afghanistan and that Hillary Clinton suffered from the medical disorder dysphasia. It was the perfect narrative-shifting that the campaign became so adept at using.
And as one former campaign official put it to The Daily Beast, President Trump watched the hits and LOVED them.
On the early campaign, she was a hired gun who was counter-narrative and effectively doing her own bookings, etc, the official, speaking on background, told The Daily Beast. Did on camera what we needed her to do. Really the first national surrogate we had.
Two former campaign officials suggested to The Daily Beast that Piersons ultimate decision not to join the administration was due in part to an unspecified difference in opinion between her and Spicer and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus
