Insurrection Barbie: Katrina Pierson's Political Comeback No One Asked For

How a washed-up MAGA mouthpiece found her way to the Texas House.

Meet Insurrection Barbie.
Newly elected House Republican Katrina Pierson (R-HD33) is the only “Texas” Republican with a transcribed interview with the January 6 Committee in Congress. That’s right, Pierson contributed to organizing and promoting the January 6 insurrection, although she was never charged with any crimes.

I put Texas in parenthesis because, like most Republicans in our government, Pierson isn’t from Texas. Instead, she hails from Kansas.

Pierson isn’t the only Texas government official who participated in Trump’s 2021 attempted coup. Other anti-American GOP favorites include:

Attorney General Ken Paxton

Senator Angela Paxton (R-SD08)

State Board of Education Member Julie Pickren (SBOE-07)

Ex-Representative Kyle Biedermann, US Senator Ted Cruz, and about a dozen Republican Congresspeople also participated in the plot to overthrow the American government. The fact that Republicans continue to vote for and elect these anti-American people speaks to the sickness deep within the Republican psyche.

Katrina Pierson joins a long list of Texas Republicans who are most known for being unhinged, angry, and unable to tell the truth.
