thank you for being here. >> we want to turn to trump campaign national spokesperson katrina pearson us next with her response fair and balanced. Ñixd xd >>> this is a fox news alert. i'm patricia stark in new york. protesters shutting down a donald trump rally last night. the front runner can selling the event as hoards of protestors were outside. the crowd was heard cheering as word of the scraped event was spread. some yelling "we stopped trump." those who oppose him don't like his decisive comments. there were some incidents of violence in the arena where the rally was supposed to be held. there was no word of anyone being seriously hurt. however, we do know five people were arrested. speaking with fox's sean hannity, the donald made it clear he was happy with his decision to call off the event saying if he hadn't things could have ended up much worse. >> we are getting a lot of credit for cancelling. it is easier to go there. this was a very organized group and not a good group that stifled the first amendment rights. and it is interesting that if we ever did that to them it wou

trump's national campaign spokesperson, katrina pearson. thank you for being here. make of what we heard from michelle. >> i think there is a lot of confusion going on. you heard michelle admit herself she didn't see who grabbed her. it was another reporter that said it was corey. of course there was a breitbart article that says there could bemis taken identity. >> that was based on the first tape we showed where there was the red arrow. they saw the tape and they said it left room for discussion. actually in their conclusion they said it is unlikely luwendowski caused the injuries. >> even the new video is not conclusive. he raises his hands, but there is no physical contact there. >> i don't know if that's right, kat. >> what i can tell you isxd this, megyn, the allegation that corey reached out and grabbed a reporter and threw her on the ground -- >> she didn't say she was thrown on the ground. >> she has said several things. it changed over the course of the last few hours. i will tell you. the allegations came out that corey reached o a reporter and threw her

but joining us now on the phone is trump campaign national spokesperson, katrina pearson. katrina, thanks very much for joining us. give us your immediate reaction to the blistering attack we just heard from mitt romney. >> well, hi, wolf. it's good to talk to you. i've got to tell you. i wasn't sure if i was listening to a republican or someone giving a speech at the dnc. never would i have ever imagined republicans attacking capitalism, or saying "you didn't build that" or pushing for social justice. i really find this to be an astounding moment in the republican party. but it is quite obvious, wolf, that those talking points were handed to him by his wall street buddies and donors, because they're obviously still detached from the american public. millions of people are turning out for donald trump, because they do believe that donald trump does have a plan, and a vision for america. that does not include the padding the pockets of wall street bankers and the republicans that keep him in power. >> there -- is it your suspicion that there is some sort of coordinated effor

with my is katrina pearson. national spokeswoman for the donald trump campaign. how are you? >> good to see you, judge. that was a fantastic opening. i fully endorse it. >> i'm sure you do. listen, what's going on? we got these people who are blocking roads for people making it impossible for them to go to rally. chicago was shut down because of the protesters. utah, last night, people jumping over barricades. i believe it was in ohio. the doors were rushed last night in utah as well. what do you think is going on besides the obvious they don't want trump to win? is their goal to get their own candidate in to stop trump or are they just anarchists? >> i think a lot of it is anarc anarchy. this is organize ed chaos. they are trying to create a public perception of violence to scare people into supporting mr. trump. they don't really care if it's hillary clinton and conservativism as the force ended in the '80s. after reagan the republican party was absent in the community. it's okay to use violence as an intimidation tactic or yell racist or hitler. they are okay with hillary

that nobody else wants to be president because that game will be over when donald trump wins. >> katrina pearsone right there? the katrina camp just clearly say no we don't want david duke's support. >> said that a hundred times. >> -- that is news. that would be news to my twitter mentions because there are a lot of people who like white supremacist and like donald trump tweeting at me and donald seems to have trouble clearly disavowing this. and not only is that wrong but it is a recipe for disaster in the general election. >> thanks so much for being on "new day." >> wow, excellent refereeing. not easy to do. well done alisyn. take a breath. we'll continue here. bernie sanders trailing hillary clinton by more than 600 delegates. is it too late to close the gap? and how will a new twist in the e-mail controversy effect her campaign? that's next. if ...to get relief,congestion anything is fair game. introducing rhinocort® allergy spray from the makers of zyrtec®. powerful relief from nasal allergy symptoms, all day and all night. try new rhinocort® allergy spray. muddle no more® how long have y

outfront now, katrina pearson and doug high. let me start with you, katrina. the white house called this completely unacceptable behavior today. former staff members for both george w. bush and barack obama have agreed. is it acceptable? >> well, you know, the last time i checked you are innocent until proven guilty. we do know that politicians of past, like mr. trump has said, are quick to discard people who may cause them some political fallout. at the same time, i'm also hearing a lot of praise for mr. trump for not ruining a man's life just because all of the opposition, hashtag never trump, want mr. lewandowski gone. he will beat these charges and be a part of this campaign. >> i can tell you as a staffer i would have been fired. i would have fired somebody who had done that, but it's ultimately about donald trump. what we see is the person who has made a trademark of the phrase, you're fired, claiming to be the stalwart of loyalty on this. essentially saying a woman wanted it. just today on abortion he said we're going to send people to jail. no, we're n

. >> katrina pearson is a national spokesperson for the trump campaign. trina great to have you back on "the real story." we have mitt romney again hammering your candidate saying he is not the real deal. i hear on "the real story" we want to get "the real story." let's look at what's happening in michigan now. it looks as if the fact is that possibly your candidate has gone down a little bit in the new poll that we just showed a couple of minutes ago. has mitt romney, where his father was governor of that state, has he had some impact on making your candidate less effective? >> well, hi gretchen, good to see you as well. i'm not really sure. we'll have to see what happens. but this is also coming from the guy who lost to the guy who lost to obama and then lost to obama him. i really don't think republicans are taking what mitt romney has into consideration considering he couldn't get the job done himself. what we do know is that mr. trump is building such a massive coalition a broad coalition that can win in november. and the reason why you see these repu

katrina pearson is a national spokesperson for donald trump. we're all together for this conversation. katrina, let me start with you. as a woman, are you offended by what donald trump did? >> no, erin. i'm one of those women that doesn't need validation from outside sources. i will start with this. simply because the entire discussion this whole day and i've watched it unfold on all the outlets has ignored the fact that melania trump was attacked. mr. trump said from the beginning he was against superpac and superpac ads and was going to hold those campaigns accountable when a superpac attacked on their behalf. it doesn't matter if ted cruz is directly connected to this superpac because they were pushing him as a candidate. he did not come out and denounce this -- >> the superpac ads -- >> he did denounce it. >> donald trump came out and denounced the reporter that did a horrible cartoon image of senator ted cruz's team. one of the first. this did not happen in the case of melania trump. the headlines out today are making heidi cruz the victim

. >> so as ben mentioned, it was just a short time ago katrina pearson, who is a spokesperson for therump campaign, played this. >> mr. lewandowski is an integrity ral part integral part of this campaign. we will support him and see him through the entire ordeal. >> that would be typical of a campaign to rally behind someone who might be in trouble, or could they cut fish bait and run? >> look what happened recently between ted cruz and his communications director rick tyler, who he posted a video that was out of context about marco rubio, and he resigned quickly from the cruz campaign. it's usually par for the course that if a campaign staffer is in the wrong that they resign, they're fired, they move on. donald trump has no ability to ever admit that he's wrong or anyone around him is wrong. >> but the political paradigm that we know of a trump candidacy has completely changed the dynamics of politics. so wouldn't it be the complete opposite reaction as we're seeing to go ahead and insulate and support corwin lewandowski? >> it's exactly what trump is going to do, just over and over

. >> outfront, katrina pearson, spokesperson for the donald trump campaign. katrina, let me start with you. he doubled down last night. muslims hate america. what's the rationale for saying that? >> well, i think if we look at what's not being said is the fact we have an administration right now that won't even acknowledge that a problem that we're facing in the country and utter the words that's hurting americans right now and christians. mr. trump was asked a question about islam and he says that they hate us. in fact, when you look at the culture in islam in the united states, there is a clash. that's why you see this brewing fight between united states law versus sharia law. it's a problem, erin. >> dean, i know you disagree. you're going to make your case. a recent pew poll found 83% unfavorable in jordan, which is an ally of the united states. 70% in the palestinian territories. 62% in pakistan. >> true. >> those numbers on a surface level would seem to show they do not like america. >> true. in countries like indonesia, that same poll is 62% favorable r

let's move on from you guys, from katrina pearson, the spokesperson with the campaign. but don't words matter, barry? this is not the first time we've heard he misspoke, let's move on. many my own recent memory he said the war in afghanistan was a mistake, then he said i meant to say iraq. but it's impossible to understand that he was talking about iraq in that conversation and he said that on cnn. he also within the span of 24 hours reversed his position and said he misspoke about how he felt about allowing in syrian refugees. how many times can you misspeak? >> this is like 100 minutes between the point that he said something and that he clarified it. he clarified it, not me or katrina. he did. i don't think -- >> he doesn't apologize, though. should he apologize on this one? >> he clarified. what should he apologize for, i guess? >> what's amazing is that donald trump did not take to the air waves or twitter like he always does after one of these instances. normally he's ready to fight and say what i really meant -- for the first time he's using surrogates to speak b

katrina pearson is here. >>> also here, drew stevens, he's worked on five presidential campaigns ands getting a lot of attention for his take on this race. >>> plus a distressing first amendment story after ben shapiro's invitation to speak at a public, public, i say, university leads to massive efforts to shut him down. hello, first amendment, where are you? ben is here on who he thinks is behind this. this is joanne. her long day as a hair stylist starts with shoulder pain when... hey joanne, want to trade the all day relief of 2 aleve with 6 tylenol? give up my 2 aleve for 6 tylenol? no thanks. for me... it's aleve. we built our factories here because of a huge natural resource. not the land. the water. or power sources. it's the people. american workers. they build world-class products. and that builds communities. and a better future. for all of us. because making something in america means so much, to so many. weathertech. proudly made in america. you're down with crestor. alright! now there's a way you can get crestor for $3. adding crestor, along with diet, lowers bad cholest

i had katrina pearson, a national spokesman on and i asked her directly, would this spat with ted cruzver their wives, would donald trump's comments about women hurt him in the general election. this is what trump's spokeswoman had to say about that. >> no, i don't think so. we've been hearing this for a long time. the gop didn't have women problems imagine magically in 2. he is going to continue to win women, because they care more about the education of their children, safety and security and jobs in this country. >> heidi, do you buy that? >> i think that katrina probably speaks for a small minority of women, while what she says is true. that donald trump is winning the women vote in many of these races, it's in a very crowded field and it is not symbolic. general electorate, which you know, the numbers speak for themselves on that. in terms of the 78% number, there is another poll showing 50% have a very negative view of him. those are numbers that will be hard to change. let me just add this, steve. as a woman, let me try to explain a little bit what's going on behind the numbers.

. >> meantime, as the tabloid story started to take over, trump's spokeswoman, katrina pearson, was asked about what trump's threat to, quote, spill the beans, meant. here's what she told my colleague steve kornacki earlier today about that phrase. >> spilling the beans is quite simple when it comes to heidi cruz. she is a bush operative. she worked for the architect of nafta. and she's a member -- she's been working for goldman sachs, the same global bank that ted cruz left off of his financial disclosure. >> trump's campaign manager then tweeted an article by "the hill" about those comments. it read, quote, trump aide fulfills threat to spill the beans, unquote. then trump put out a statement on the national enquirer story, reading in part as if he's quoting a mythological idea from lbj. quote, i have no idea whether or not the cover story is true or not. but i had absolutely nothing to do with it. while they were right about o.j. simpson, john edwards, and many others, i hope they're not right about lyin' ted cruz. unbelievable. we should also note that two women have come forward and

as for his surrogates, they've pulled katrina pearson from the airwaves, except for the interview she had this morning. they've denied interview requests with nbc news, and they've been very tight-lipped when it has come to this -- trying to make it look ridiculous, according to the campaign, to criticize him it comes to abortion. just a few weeks ago, ted cruz was criticizing him for his support of planned parenthood, and now, all of a sudden, everyone is criticizing him for being too extreme on the topic. the campaign is seeing a real disconnect when it comes to that. but as for that borings controversy, my instinct from seeing this campaign for the last ten months, is that they're going to try to lay low on it, not talk about it, wait for the news cycle to pass before donald trump is on the trail again on saturday, at which point they hope they'll be able to move on. >> i don't think it's the criticism. but it seems to me this isn't about criticism for the pro-choice people or pro-life people, abortion activists on either side. it's really about what he said. and when he was given

the spokesperson, katrina pearson, she talked about a few moments ago. >> absolutely mr.l part of the team of the the camp wholeheartedly supports him and see him through the entire ordeal. >> so jacob, they're pushing back now. do you anticipate the campaign is going to have to part ways with corey lewandowski, if the charges hold up? >> reporter: that's a tough call. katy tur asked trump exactly that question. what evidence comes about that shows that in fact, he did grab the reporter, and trump asked katy for an apology and walked away. so he hasn't addressed that and given no hint as to whether he was in fact after this charge, went to court, and in fact, was found guilty if that would have anything to do with -- what would happen then to the campaign manager, would the campaign part ways. we have no clue what would happen there. but donald trump sticking by his staff, as you've said, tweeting out in support of him and asking people instead to look at the former reporter from breitbart and what she said about the incident, instead of looking at corey lewandowski. it w

we're going to be there live and trump spokeswoman katrina pearson talks about the candidate's positionl out cpac.ts big . with aches, chills, and fever, there's no such thing as a little flu. and it needs a big solution: an antiviral. so when the flu hits, call your doctor right away and up the ante with antiviral tamiflu. prescription tamiflu is an antiviral that attacks the flu virus at its source and helps stop it from spreading in the body. tamiflu is fda approved to treat the flu in people two weeks of age and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu, tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion, or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. anti-flu? go antiviral with tamiflu. you stay up. you listen. you laugh. you

here to respond now to the backlash, the trump's campaign national spokesperson katrina pearson.morning. >> how did donald trump get this one so wrong? how did he make that initial comment that is so far outside of the mainstream in terms of criminalizing women kbho seek abortions? >> well i think first i should probably clear up something that i heard you say earlier. in that he never called for a ban on abortion. this was a discussion. with chris mathews over a hypothetical ban. and in that discussion when talking about potential consequences about doing something illegal in this case an abortion he said yes there should be consequences. and when chris matthews said for women, he said yes. just not distinguishing the difference here, which is exactly why he clarified. no it shouldn't be the woman, but the one actually performing the illegal act. >> just to clarify what you just told me. i have the transcript. he did call for a man. chris mathews, i'm asking you you say you want to ban it. >> he sksz if he would so support it. >> he would support it. you can support a lot of thi

we were not able to get him, but we do have katrina pearson, the trump campaign national spokesman. very good to have you. >> hi, neil. great to see you. neil: how do you think mr. trump will respond? will he respond? i know he tweeted some things ahead of the fact, but what do you think he does? >> i think he'll respond. he'll definitely bring it up in his speech simply because he'll be defending himself like he always would. but i've got to tell you, neil, it was interesting coming up to the studio to talk to you. two cycles in a row, all the geniuses told us who can win, who cannot win and why. failing twice now. it is time for republican voters to pick someone that can rally support from all fears of the republican party. >> one of the things that governor romney talked about was mister trump's plans. donald j trump.com. does romney talk about spending. the people out there on the ground for years, they know what is best. they have failed that every measure. going on and attacking mister trump's business record. now, republicans attacking capitalism and pushing for social justic

joining us now with trump perspective is katrina pearson. trump campaign. congratulations to you on last night's seven states and if we can let's call up the turnout numbers from last night because that is the theory of success for donald trump that he is going to bring new and more voters to the polls for the gop and then in the general election. is that what you believe is going to happen based on last night katrina? >> good morning chris. and yes, i do believe that. we've been seeing that from the beginning of this campaign with mr. trump. at first they said can he turn these crowds into votes? and i think we've proven that we have actually done that and considerably so. and we're looking forward to that because that is what the republican party has been saying they needed and as you mentioned in your reporting this morning, mr. trump is bringing along people from all strikes of the board. young, old, some minorities. the conservatives. moderates and liberals. that is what questiwe need. that is the coalition we've been talking about plus

joining us now national spokeswoman katrina pearson.morning. >> good morning. >> you defended mr. lewandowski who made headlines yesterday. he was charged with simple battery. he'll keep the job even if he doesn't beat the charges. most would be suspended or out of a job. why is the trump campaign not suspending him? >> you don't ruin man's career just because people want you to. i think now that the police surveillance video is out there, it's clear that the allegations that mr. lewandowski forcefully grabbed her and through her to the ground clearly shows he didn't. >> you're saying he will beat the charges. >> yes. this is one of those things where mr. trump is going to stand by mr. lewandowski. he did nothing wrong. this was a press scrum. this is a reporter who crossed the secret service threshold where you could also see two secret service agents reached out to her not to touch mr. trump, and she did, in fact, grab mr. trump. so no, there's no need for him to lose his job. >> it's clear why his rivals would jump on this politicall

or manhandle or -- >> katrina pearson the spokesperson was on fox business earlier today, and she suggestedhat there might have been somebody else there at the event. cory has a crew cut. there are a lot of security guys and secret service personnel around there who have crew cuts as well. very short hair. and so now there's this possibility of perhaps mistaken identity in this alleged incident. neil: have there been any other incidents involving cory with other reporters? >> not to my knowledge. i've been to a lot of those events myself, and there was the episode -- not with corey but the trump event with news photographer that was roughed up by security personnel. but not with corey in particular. neil: yeah, not with corey in particular. okay. we're still looking into this. michelle fields and so many others, buena park wanted to get the facts right on this one. here's something that's undeniable. stocks are up. and they're up a lot. up about 202 points, which would easily make this a good hold anywhere near this and doesn't have to be more than 30 points or so. but to see a fourth strai

katrina pearson is here. and amanda carpenter is here also. >> good morning. >> good morning. katrina, less than 10 minutes into the debate your boss, mr. trump, referenced the size of his manhood. doesn't that cheapen the debate in this country? >> well, he was actually responding to marco rubio referencing the exact same thing, but you didn't show that clip to put it in context. mr. trump will respond when he's attacked. that's what he did. >> amanda, is that fair? i mean, i guess marco rubio, like brought it on when he talked about donald trump's small hands, and i can't believe i'm saying this on national television, but amanda, your take? >> it's embarrassing. i woke up this morning kneeling nauseous, and granted, there's a flu going on. it's because of th donald trump debate performance. the trump effect is nausea. we can say rubio is to blame. no. donald trump goes to the bottom of the barrel, gutter politics at every opportunity. if he becomes president, guess what? you're going to get a lot of untact, and unfair attacks. it's the pres

let's check in now with katrina pearson for the trump campaign. i want to start with that interview donald trump did yesterday with charlie sikes. ion him. he's really the conservative radio host in wisconsin. he surprised trump by saying he was part of the #never trump campaign. listen to this. >> mr. trump, before you called into my show, did you know that i'm a #never trump guy? >> that i didn't know. >> okay. because i thought it was interesting. and people were wondering does donald trump know what charlie sikes has said about him in the past. and i would give you credit either way. >> no no, i understand -- >> katrina, did your campaign know what donald trump was getting into? shouldn't he have been prepared, armed with that knowledge? >> well i think what you are seeing is that the fact that donald trump doesn't really care. look at this. we have seen mr. trump go in very hostile territory. we've seen mr. trump go into interviews know that anchors have said horrible things about him in the past and he's been unafraid to do these interviews.

responded to the chrwith from his new supporter jeff sessions of alabama and his spokesperson, katrina pearson who invoked the late senator robert byrd of west virginia. >> senator robert byrd, are you kidding me? >> what are you saying about robert byrd? >> he endorsed barack obama and no one said his political career is over. no one asked him to disavow -- >> can you comparing robert byrd to david duke? are you really? >> we're talking about a clansman. >> that was long in his past. that's a smear. >> david duke denounced the kkk a long time ago too. >> the right answer to this is, this country does not discriminate. no president, no officer in this country should hold office that has any hint of treating people differently because of the color of their skin or where they came from. and that kind of thing. we believe in equality and fair treatment and that's the moral principle that we adhere to as a nation. and i hope he makes that clear. >> jeff sessions came out strongly, willie geist, yesterday. >> he did. >> just said, hey, don't know exactly how he answered it, but this is what he need

i had katrina pearson, a national spokesman on and i asked her directly, would this spat with ted cruz over their wives, would donald trump's comments about women hurt him in the general election. this is what trump's spokeswoman had to say about that. >> no, i don't think so. we've been hearing this for a long time. the gop didn't have women
