CNN guests stare at Katrina Pierson like crazy person for denying Trump campaign shake-up happened http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/cnn-guests-stare-at-katrina-pierson-like-crazy-person-for-denying-trump-campaign-shake-up-happened/#.V7SUuGRaDBo.twitter




Trump campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson left a CNN panel speechless on Wednesday after she denied that the campaign had undergone a “shake-up” after media reported a major shifting of roles at the highest levels of the organization.

According to reports on Wednesday, Trump hired Breitbart News Chairman Stephen Bannon as the campaign CEO and promoted Kellyanne Conway to the role of campaign manager. The move was seen as a demotion for embattled campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

CNN’s Carol Costello hosted a panel of guests on Wednesday to discuss the changes, which was derailed when Pierson lashed out at the media for calling the move a “shake-up.”

“The media and many on the right who have always been vocal against Mr. Trump have been writing this campaign’s obituary for over 400 days and it hasn’t worked yet,” Pierson told the group. “The thing is, when we are talking about campaign additions — and I know CNN is focusing on [Breitbart’s] Bannon for whatever reason. He’s not in charge of communications, he’s just the CEO.”
