Trump spokesperson reorganizes U.S. timeline, says Obama led invasion of Afghanistan
Donald Trump campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson either has little grasp on recent United States history, believes Americans are stupid, or simply hopes no one will call her out on being a blatant bullsh*tter.
Pierson claimed President Barack Obama led the U.S. into war in Afghanistan in a CNN interview on Saturday, an absurd reorganization of the timeline of that war.

It's unclear what Pierson was trying to say by bringing Afghanistan into a conversation about the beginnings of the Islamic State, which can be traced to Iraq. In one of the most awkward pieces of television this presidential election has produced, Pierson's words are so jumbled it's difficult to make out a coherent argument, other than she thinks Obama and Hillary Clinton are bad.
This is the latest distortion of facts from the Trump campaign this week. Donald Trump has also been trumpeting the notion that Obama and Clinton cofounded ISIS, which is blatantly untrue.
Of course, after a few days, Trump pawned his comment off as "sarcasm."
