Trump’s national spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, wore a necklace made of bullets while appearing on CNN.

In a tweet, Pierson confirmed the ammunition accessory was real and a political statement. She added the hashtag #2A, making clear her support for the Second Amendment.

A prominent tea party activist, Pierson has previously demonstrated a fondness for her right to bear arms.

But the accessory drew the ire of some gun control activists. Shannon Watts, founder of gun control advocacy organization Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, jokingly tweeted that Pierson wore the necklace "to bring attention to 90 Americans fatally shot daily."

Pierson responded to the criticism by saying: "The liberals freaking out about my accessories are sexist. They only approve of women in pantsuits and jackets. Oh, and tampon earrings."

Pierson's comment referred to a 2013 incident in which MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry donned tampon earrings, a stunt that also raised quite a few eyebrows.
