About a week after President Donald Trump defended people who marched with neo-Nazis in Charlottesville,???????? ?? ???????? former Trump campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson called slavery "good history" during a Monday appearance on Fox News.
I'm not quite sure what to type from here. Pierson was on Fox along with John Hopkins University professor Wendy Osefo, who often appears on Fox News as a liberal counterweight. They debated whether Confederate statues should be taken down from the U.S. capitol.

I don't know if she's confusing remembrance with lionization, or doesn't care about the distinction, but, anyway, Osefo responded by asking, "Slavery is good history?"
"Absolutely," Pierson said.
You kind of have to watch the whole thing to believe it.
