Brad Parscale texted Katrina Pierson about Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 attack: “This week I feel guilty for helping him win.”
Parscale insisted the then-president’s rhetoric fueled the deadly events.
What happened: The Jan. 6 committee revealed excerpts of explosive messages between Brad Parscale, one of former President Donald Trump’s prior campaign managers, and Katrina Pierson, a former Trump campaign spokesperson who helped plan the Jan. 6 rally at the Ellipse, in the hours immediately following the attack.
Here’s the exchange, which occurred in the 7:00 p.m. hour.
Parscale: This is about trump pushing for uncertainty in our country.
Parscale: A sitting president asking for civil war
Parscale: This week I feel guilty for helping him win
Pierson: You did what you felt right at the time and therefore it was right.
Parscale: Yeah. But a woman is dead
Pierson: You do realize this was going to happen
Parscale: Yeah. If I was trump and knew my rhetoric killed someone.
Pierson: It wasn’t the rhetoric.
Parscale: Katrina.
Parscale: Yes it was.
……..
One interesting thing to note: Parscale’s company received $150,000 in “digital consulting” payments from Trump’s Save America PAC since January 2021, according to Federal Election Commission records. So, there was not a clean break here for Parscale, despite what he was saying privately.
