Katrina Pierson – Her Religion
The evidence we’ve found online indicates that Pierson is strongly opinionated against many organized religions.
From her background we know that Katrina grew up in a covert stricken household. There were times her family lived on the welfare and did not have much support. Many believe this led to her being angry with the religion and not abiding by anything it says. She has proclaimed and considers herself as 100% not Catholic.

Just saw a commercial from Catholic Church stating that Catholic Church was started by Jesus. I bet they believe that too. #sad

Katrina Pierson – Her Political Views
She is a Republican and self-identifies with the Tea Party conservative base.
Katrina is an interesting mix of political identities. Her political idol is Malcolm X, the 1960s human rights champion who many saw as too radical. Pierson has frequently cited Malcolm X on her Twitter channel:
Reminder: #MalcolmX was a racist right wing extremist #freedomfighter and a clinger to his guns & religion. I’m in good company #TeaParty

@iAmThugGang My idol, Malcolm X warned us about the White Liberals and those the subsidize. Psychology can create and destroy a society.

Growing up, Katrina was imbibed with education swinging to both American political parties. She had an open stance and voted for Democratic candidate Barack Obama in the 2008 election.
In January 2015, Pierson attended a meeting for Tea Party activists in Myrtle Beach with Ted Cruz. While in Myrtle Beach, she also met with Donald Trump. After meeting with Trump or his aides a few more times, Pierson introduced Trump at a campaign rally held in Dallas in September. In November 2015 she was hired as the national spokesperson for Trump.
What caused Pierson to sour on Obama and the Democrats isn’t entirely known.
