K: “You did what you felt was right at the time and therefore it was right”
B: “Yeah but a woman is dead”

In a text exchange between Parscale and Donald Trump’s national campaign spokesperson, Katrina Pearson, Parscale laments that a woman is dead. When Pearson tells him, “You do realize this was going to happen,” Parscale responds, “Yeah if I was Trump and knew my rhetoric killed someone.” Parscale continues, “This Is about Trump pushing for uncertainty in our country … A sitting president asking for civil war … This week I feel guilty for helping him win.”
Isaac Stanley-Becker of The Washington Post pointed out that Parscale’s digital firm received $150,000 in incremental payments after expressing regret for helping Trump.
