Is Donald Trump spox Katrina Pierson a 9/11 truther? Lots of folks are making that insinuation thanks to this tweet from 2012:
9/11 … An inside job?
— Katrina Pierson (@KatrinaPierson) September 13, 2012
Some examples:
On this 9/11, remember the top cable news talking head for a presidential nominee thinks your government did it. https://t.co/szjtOsfLM7

Sorry, haters. She was talking about Benghazi:
You don't pay very close attention to detail do you? Check the date! #Benghazi #journalismISdead
— Katrina Pierson (@KatrinaPierson) September 9, 2016
And the “inside job” in that tweet refers to a segment she was watching on Fox News while she was tweeting:
Yes. @foxnews reporting now “@Johnnyvulgar: @KatrinaPierson I hope the 9/11 you're referencing is the 2012 event!”
— Katrina Pierson (@KatrinaPierson) September 13, 2012
She later retweeted Tim Carney and an AP link (since disabled) on the possibility that it was an “inside job”:
Um, yeah! “@TPCarney: If this correct, the regime we brought to power in Libya helped murder our ambassador: http://t.co/g45kXI6L”
— Katrina Pierson (@KatrinaPierson) September 14, 2012
An “inside job” as in “the Libyans were in on it” and not that the U.S. did. Time to move on from this.
