On 24 January 2016, Donald Trump's spokeswoman Katrina Pierson appeared on CNN's Reliable Sources program to discuss the 2016 presidential race. During that appearance, Host Brian Stelter questioned Pierson about a tweet she made back in 2012 referencing how neither President Barack Obama nor then-Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was a pure breed: Pierson (unconvincingly) defended the message in question to Stelter, claiming that she had been called a half-breed herself: Shortly after Pierson's appearance on Reliable Sources, several publication posted stories about some of the other racial comments she has made on Twitter, including one which dubbed President Obama the head negro in charge: Although Pierson did post the messages in question to Twitter, she did so at least two years before she joined Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, not while she was actively working as his spokesperson.
